2005 Suzuki M50

[greydee07]

suzuki needs to put a 1200 in that thing or at least a 900

My girlfriend has an M50 and loves it. I've spent some time riding it around and it does need better brakes. They're acceptable for simply slowing down, but not good enough to really stop it quickly. Once you start running it hard on a twisty road you really wish for better brakes. Outside of that it rides really well and handles well for what it is. Wish it had a 6th gear, but don't really need to be going faster than 70 or 80 anyway. I ride a sport bike and long trips aren't a problem.

the m50 is a sweet ride.. My father just bought one and i've taken it out many times... The only thing oyu need to do now is shave out the baffles and you're good to go... Keep riding brother

Did you just add the pipes, or did you add an air PCIII? Sounds good!

[HFDvol]

i jus rode my first time on this bike yesterday and i love it plenty of power and relatvely smooth

are these pipes stock in this video???

[stunludez03]

Had the bike hated it, the right side of the bike looks crappy the pipe side. The tail also looks weak. The brakes suck too.

You obviously don't know bikes, do you? Maybe a Rebel 250 would be more your style. Just some advice...get some tutoring in the usage of commas and apostrophes. Thanks for your interest.

[Sillanpaa]

haha. agreed

I've rode quite a few bikes and I think the Volusia/Boulevard is the most balanced of them all... I know I'm glad I bought one.

We will pass this fool up on his Scooter

Keep Riding

@rjohnsonfam yeah no doubt stunludez03 is a true douche. "uhh I bought my bike for looks because I'm a poser"

[zz5blaze]

If you hated it, why did you buy?

[UptonEMT]

He's been going around to a ton of other videos bashing the M50 and promoting his new CBR600f4i or whatever. Basically saying he traded in his cruiser for a sportbike, like the two can honestly compare. A sportbike, especially the CBR, is for young hotshot bikers who only plan on going 20 to 30 miles before resting. Cruisers are for those willing to drive a little slower, safer, but drive for 50, 60, even 70 miles before resting. The two bikes are like apples and oranges, really.

[Boudoir7]

I don't think you'll find a better bike for the money, the only contender is the new Kawasaki 900 but it is higher in price. My M50 is the best thing I bought. The amount of looks and conversation starters it generates!

[freespeachrulez]

Would this be a good bike to take on a 6 hour ride to see my son every other weekend. I want something great on gas. I looked into the 650 single cylinder as that looks easier to work on should it break down. But I am just concerned with quality of ride and if my back will get sore.

[rjohnsonfam]

I would advise getting the M50. It is very comfortable. The problem with a 650 for long road trips is that the RPM's will be much higher at cruise speed thus making it more uncomfortable for long rides. My 800 M50 is a dream bike. It cruises on the highway like a big heavy bike. Wind, ruts in the road....nothing affects it. I have owned my bike for a year now and I have 10,000 miles on it. It runs and rides like I just drove it off the lot. I highly recommend!!!

Thank you, some of my riding will be on the freeway 70+ so your saying the gearing is too low? I can only afford to spend $2,000 max so any bike around that range would work. I might have to dig into the 90's bikes or late 80's I want something that looks good, has the sloped front end. And 2 seater, but no crotch rockets.

[medicbearusaf]

nice ride... come check us out a volusiaridersdotcom. A site for suzuki boulevard and volusia riders. I ride an 04 volusia... (it became the c50)

[rednofive]

I have a '06 M50 Black. I just ordered the Cobra Streetrod slashdown.  The dealer said that we could get away without the fuel processor. Did you put one on yours?

[DennisH22A1]

sounds nice, but tell that squid to put on a helmet!

[fdiaz05]

again i say!...what an awesome bike!!

[fdiaz05]

sweet bike...got anymore vids of it being ridden?...i'm looking and getting one just wanna see it in action a bit more...thanks

[rjohnsonfam]

Hey man, I don't have more videos. If I could tell you anything, just go buy an m50. You will love it. It is an awesome bike. Search for the boulevard m50 forum and you can see many pictures of mods that we have all done to them. Good luck!
