Hi there.. I'm glad I finally found a forum. I bought my new '06 M50 in early September and since then I haven't found any forums with good information, so I'm glad to be here! I started riding earlier this year when I bought a friend's sport bike off of him as a first bike (Yamaha FZR-600R). It was a lot of fun but I enjoyed just cruising around more than riding fast like my younger friends (I'm 31), and I hated being uncomfortable so I decided a cruiser would be better for me. I spoke with a lot of experienced riders and they all had good things to say about the V-Stars and Boulevards. I specifically liked the speedo mounted on the handlebars look though and I think the M50 was the only bike with that feature, out of all the new cruisers I looked at. Once I sat on it I knew that it was the bike for me. My dealership takes all new M50's that they get in and lower them and put Cobra pipes on them. So my bike has these mods already installed, I was pretty happy with that. I think price out the door was $7500 which I thought was pretty good for a small town dealership. I was on the fence about having them do the first maintnance or doing it myself. I've seen various prices here but my dealership was going to charge $270, so after reading all of the information here I decided to change the oil and gear lube myself today thanks to Zuke Dude's Tune-Up post. The only complaints I have so far is that the seat is uncomfortable (seems to be a common complaint), and I NEED a windshield (since we ride without helmets here in Ohio). Other than that I'm very happy with my purchase and I'm glad to have found this place and I hope to make a good addition to this community. -Justin |
