It almost feels like a waste of time to say anything else nice about the M50 on this forum, but here goes...
I bought my '07 M50 last October, and in the 9 months since then have put 17,000 miles on it with no maintenance issues. I broke it in carefully, and am good about tire pressure and oil changes, but that's about it. So far I've had to replace the rear tire and re-adjust the clutch once, but that's all. I actually stumbled across this thread simply because I was getting nervous about how trouble-free it's been, and decided to get it tuned up, even though it's running perfectly.
I don't own a car anymore, and this bike is my sole means of transportation. I ride about an hour and a half to two hours every day for work, and then make occasional trips north (I live in San Diego), which average between three and nine hours. At 5'8" I have no trouble with the reach or the seat, and in fact, the only change I plan on making is to replace the pegs with pedals for the sake of my ankles.
Sounds good to me.
Poor balance? Who is everyone kidding, I've had my '08 M50 for 3 1/2 months and been riding everyday.
A poorly balanced bike could never handle what I was in yesterday... has anybody been thru a 20 foot long skid with both wheels locked and kept it upright?? I did yesterday. this bike is VERY WELL balanced.
I am 255 lbs 6 ft tall and my only complaint so far is the pegs... after riding a friends M50 with forward controls, I found that it was my leg position was causing my butt to get sore on long rides. Moving the legs forward puts more weight on the thighs, and takes it off the tail bone. Seat problem fixed.
This is my sixth bike, first Suzuki, I am impressed.
Ride safe.
