|  Friction Zone
First, my profile says I have am M50 but I don't really have one yet...that was wishful thinking at the time. I've been debating with myself over the M50and the Honda Shadow Aero. The debate is over and I expect to have a new M50 by this time next week. I have just one more question before I sign the deal. Last year I had a Yamaha V Star 650 custom. I sold it at the end of the year. That bike had NO friction zone...maybe 1/4" tops. There was nothing I could do to change it. It made slow speed maneuvers really difficult. Right hand turns from a dead stop were a real test. I don't want to have that again. Sooo, my question; how big is the friction zone on the M50, and how does it handle in slow speed turns? Thanks for your input. Phil...On the Shores of Beautiful (but still frozen) Lake Erie. |
