2006 Suzuki Boulevard M50 review from United States of America
"This is the thinking man's bike"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
I've not had any problems.
General comments?
I've had this bike for over a year now and it is December. I like it enough that I'm still riding it in the snow.
Right after I got it, I moved my front pegs forward 3.5" and mounted a set of saddle bags on it. The peg move wasn't a necessity, but made it more comfortable. I'm 6'4" tall.
Not long after that I gutted the exhaust with a 3 5/16" hole saw and changed the fueling. Now it can breathe.
I just put a new 200 mm tire on the back and I think it will run another 7500 miles without a breakdown.
