Either or......
They're roughly the same, just different seats? Same frame and all.
I'd be just as happy with the 650. It has way more power than the M50.
That being said, why the eff am I drawn like a moth to a flame with the damn 109?????
Stopped by the local H-D Saturday. I was looking for a Ulysses. Can't seem to find any of the mother effers anywhere. Oh well....the Strom does the same thing for a huge savings no matter which displacement you go with.
Amazing how magazine photography makes bikes look huge. Plus my gripe of hiring jockeys and professional GP riders that average about 5'4"-5'7" for brochure photos.......Again, I sat on the Night Rod. God almighty is that thing small!!! Nothing I sat on fit right. Except the Road Glide. That bike has got a cool profile for a bagger, but I ain't ready for a Geezer Glide yet (sorry blackie!!!
).
Between you and Quack getting Stroms....I think lexter did too, and all the glowing reviews...It's making me want to forget cruiserdom for a while. After all the Strom was my first choice, until I saw a pic of the M50.
I'm not sure if I misread some quotes from Suzuki, but aren't they due for another cruiser this year? I thought it was two a year for the next few years? I know 2007 is a definite for two new cruisers to be rolled out. No info yet on them. As much as I'm in love with the ergos of the 109, there is just something about that rear tire holding me back. I just don't see it being practical for me.
