|  Leaning towards M50, still not sure
Hey everyone, new guy to the forum here. I'm in the market for a new bike and am leaning toward the M50 black but am a little skeptical on the power. I was also looking at the Yamaha 1100 custom which I'm sure has enough power for me. I havn't ridden either yet because of the weather here. Both bikes have pros and cons, maybe you guys can help me sort throught them. I like the looks of the M50 better than the Yamaha. The Yamaha has a better braking system it seems with dual front disk and a disk in the rear where the M50 has single front disk and drum in the rear. The M50 however it FI and water cooled. I can sit flat footed a little easier on the 1100 but it isn't really a stretch on the M50 either. I'm not a big guy at 5'5" about 145lbs. My brother has a Honda Shadow 750 which seems doggy to me and if the M50 which is an 800 can't do better than the Honda then I know it's not going to have enough power for me. I'm hoping somebody reads this that has ridden alot of bikes and help compare the M50's power. I'm not really going to be on a lot of long distance rides but will take a couple hours rides once in a while with the wife on back. It needs to be able to handle 2 up at highway speeds, which I'm sure it can but I don't want it wining at me about doing it.
