Default New to me M50

Today I bought a 2005 M50 for a around town bike. Poor guy that sold it to me lost his job and has 3 children. I feel bad for him but I got it for a great price I think. The only 2 things wrong with it was a broken brake level (which I had one from my LC1500 that I too off when I installed new ones) fit perfect.
The other was that the bike fell down at a stop light and a small scramp on the lower pipe heat sheild (can't see it unless you look up from the ground)

So the guy installed flasher on the stop light and turn signal.

On the way home I found a big differnces from LC1500, very light quick off the line and vibrates a lot more due to a higher rev rate at 60 MPH. I took off the back seat and I very happy with the 54 Miles per gallon.

If anyone wants to give me so advice go ahead.

OK here is the picture
