Default Differences from 2005 to 2006?
Hey guys. I'm starting to look into picking up an M50. I see that the 2005 version is a few hundred cheaper on some of the local dealer's sites. Was there any major or significant changes from 05 to 06 or was it just the different colors?

Thanks for your help! Great forum.

The black '06 is faster than the other '06's, as well as all the '05's

j/k

Just different colors. Get the color you like, and whichever year it is doesn't matter a whole lot.

Or you could upgrade to a C50!

Well I like new silver color, so I'll probably just keep looking at the 06's. Sorry, I'm just not feeling the C50.

I guess Microsoft no longer holds that monopoly after all... J/K (maybe).

Good luck in finding YOUR M50, although the 2005 blue looks the best.

Is that like "Good luck" because it will be very hard, or just good luck? I'm hoping the stock is plentiful being buying season.

It's good luck in finding the M50 you want, getting the color you feel suits you the best. I rate the '06 silver second only to the '05 blue. An attractive color nevertheless.

The black does look pretty sweet especially with all that chrome. I just don't see very many silver bikes out there so I thought it might be something to set it apart. Of course my mine might change when I see them next to each other in person.

The 05 black has blue flake in it that nobody notices except in the sun.
I like it alot.
Keeping it clean is a challenge.

You're right, there aren't that many silver ones out there, and it is pretty sweet looking also. Plus, silver is just a light, light, light version of black, which we all know is fastest!

I've seen a couple silver one's runnin' around town in my neck of the woods. Pretty slick looking......stealthy during the day......where as black is stealthy at night.


Wait a minute......what am I saying?!?!?



RED IS THE REAL ROAD RIPPER!!!
