I just got my C50 home today, of course it just HAD to rain half way here. Oh well it will give me a chance tomorrow to get up close and personal when I wash it. First Mod will be to remove the silly warning sticker on the tank. I found out to day that 15 year old helmets will cause you to look like you have black out on your face. Haven't used it in 10 years. So a new skull cap will have to be purchased. My wife thought it was real funny when I took it off when I got home. First impressions; Real smooth and comfortable and confidence inspiring in handling. Love the C50t Windshield and lite bar that I had installed. Floor boards will have to be an acquired taste let alone the heel on toe shifter, it was strictly toe today. I hate rumble strips,
C50 took them well but you could feel thru the bars the number they do on the suspension. A tachometer is a requirement on any bike period. Pipes sound nice but are too quite for my taste, a set of V&H or Cobra plumbing is possible. Handles like a dream even with my 10 year layoff. I will withhold my judgment on power until after break in, feels like it wants to move with some more throttle applied. Please don’t misconstrue this as a negative review, it is just my first impression, I love the looks and feel of this Bike. My last ride was a 850 Moto Guzzi that was tricked out with carburetion, headers and ignition it had a real raw feel to it in power and handling, so that's what I have to compare the C50 to. I think the name says it all "Boulevard". Will try to post some pics tomorrow, after I spiff it up.
