Default Why buy a Suzuki C50?

In the never ending search for the right motorcycle, I've noticed something particularly disturbing....you can get a lot more motorcycle for close to same money as a C50.

So why is a C50 the best selling mid-size cruiser? Please tell me why it's worth it to spend $6799 for a C50 when I can get a Yamaha V Star Classic (1063 cc) for $8699, a Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Classic (1470 cc) for $9699 and a Honda Shadow Sabre (1099 cc) $8699.

Is it just the $2K price difference or is there something I don't know that would make you want an 800 cc bike instead of some with almost twice the displacement?
