Love the new M50 - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Traded my 06 Vulcan 750 yesterday for an 06 M50 (black). What a difference! Couple of things I noticed, the M50 is much more balanced, the vulcan always seemed to want to wander when riding with 1 hand, and no hands was about impossible, the M50 is much better behaved, perfectly balanced and seems to just float into the turns. The sound is much better, going to de-baffle after the warranty runs out.
With the Vulcan I always seemed to be holding on under hard acceleration, with the M50 you seem to just accelerate with the bike, rather than being pulled along with it. After the first 5 to 10 minutes of riding it I felt like I'd been on it for years. Put about 150 miles on it today and had a blast, I'm very happy with it so far.

I've experienced alot of the same. I just received mine on Thursday and have put in 8 hours of country road / city / some highway driving on it.... balance is one thing I found very quickly that I did not need to worry about.
