[Slim-Pickins]

I was looking at the exact bikes and here is my $.02

Honda- least powerful and carbs are cold natured, not a huge deal in Fla. but it has been near freezing at my housde in the morning the last few weeks. Honda fit and finish is second to none and tons of aftermarket accesories

V-Star 1100- same as above a little better power on the high end

Both are sorta Harley clones

M50- totally different styling, clean and aero dynamic looking- a little faster than both but hey we are talking cruisers if I wanted speed I would have followed the rest of the guys I work with and got a Gixxer, seat was tough but after 500 miles I can ride for hoursa with no problems and the riding position you get used to. I have had my bike at 105MPH and was still climbing whjen I finally got arounf the 2 semi's on Hwy 50 that were screwing with me. I ride almost everyday to work at 35 miles one way and generally cruise at 80 mph on th4e Suncoast Expressway. After market weak now but will get better and I loved the bike from the start so all I plan on adding is a sissybar to hold my backpack and maybe the intake, power commander, and de-baffle the exhaust because I like the looks of the pipes and do not want to change. Oh yeah, I also will keep the badges on becasue I'm proud my bike is a Suzuki and I spent only $6300 not $10-15,000 for a harley. De-badging isn't just to "clean up the lines of the bike" its to hide. But this is just my $.02, take it or leave it but its objective, well except for the last part.
