I picked up my new C-50 about 4:30 today. It's a little cool but I rode it about 20 miles, I thought my VN750 rode smooth but compare to my new C-50, it's a buckboard. I forgot to ask the dealer, are these bike equipped with maintenance free batteries? Can't wait to take a long ride but it looks like this weekend is out, the local weather man was calling for low 70s with sun, but as of today he's saying t/storms Saturday and rain with wind Sunday. May it ever be thus. Heheheheh

Enjoy your new bike. I hope you can find some time between the wind and rain to get in some riding fun.

Congrats!
You've picked a great bike.
Ride Safe and ENJOY!!

c50tiger · 03-08-2006, 08:56 PM

Battery on mine is maintenance free - - I would assume they all are. When I first road mine back in Sept. '04, I can vividly remember thinking how smooth a ride it was and how well balanced it felt. Again, you made a great choice - now all you gotta do is move down South where your riding season is greatly extended

Congrats on the new bike!!! Been visiting the dealers and finding myself spending alot of time sitting on the C50. Talk about storms, I'm thinkin' there's one brewing in my house..(Wifey not into the idea of new bike)LOL

NCBoulevard · 03-09-2006, 09:35 AM

Congratulations on your C50.

I've been through 11000 miles and 1 rear tire on mine in the past 6 months. I still can't wipe the grin off my face.

Welcome Marine... I spent a few years in the Navy .

The C-50 is a great bike from what I hear... I've got its brother bike... the M50. I looked at a Vulcan 750 before I chose my M50, I thought it was pretty nice, but I did like the ride and other stuff about the M50 a little better.
