New M-50 owner - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

SACSQD · 11-15-2006, 01:32 PM

Hello all,

I just wanted to say that this site is great and a real help when looking for ideas and answers. I just purchased an '06 M-50 black and love it. This is my first motorcycle and will be subsequently spending more money on customizing it.

Welcome

Mine's my first bike too; you're going to love it!

Hello SACSQD, I too will be a new m50 owner after I pick my baby up this saturday. I am so stoked to finally be getting a M50. After lurking around this website forever I was able to finally get one. Enjoy

Atlas68 · 11-15-2006, 06:30 PM

Ray. Congrats on your M50. Sounds like there's been a real influx of M50 purchases lately. It's funny...in my area, I have yet to see another one on the street, which is fine by me.

Well, I bought mine a month ago, the weather is kinda getting in the way of me putting on more mileage!!!

Don M50limited · 11-15-2006, 08:40 PM

Welcome Ray, I also got mine just in time to get break in mileage on it before the rains got here. Now it'll be hit and miss through winter on when I get to ride or not. In my younger days of only owning bikes I'd ride for transportation regardless of the weather, nowadays it's strictly about the joy of riding.

And yes keep your wallet greased up for the customizing, at least with a site like this you should be able to get good feedback from others experience first. I just dropped some $$$ this weekend ordering some goodies. Can't wait to install and get some updated photos on here.

We forgot the most important thing... You chose the Fastest color! Good job

You won't be disapointed.
During the run in - you will be surprised at the changes in your bike!.

Just ride everywhere!

scrimmer · 11-15-2006, 09:46 PM

Welcome! I've had mine almost 2 months now. It is also my first bike.
You're gonna luv it! People really love the looks of it too apparently.
I love getting all the comments I receive on it.

ranger04 · 11-16-2006, 07:29 PM

Ive had mine since may and its also my first bike-absolutly love it, and of course i picked the fastest color-black-and i never see any other M50s on the road-unfortunantly i keep spending money on upgrades but its all worth it-Keep the rubber side down and enjoy it man

Goldfinger · 11-18-2006, 04:43 PM

Welcome and congratulations! I bought mine about 2 months ago. In black, of course! It's not my first bike but almost. Bought an 06 250 Ninja back in February. Still have it too but the M50 is for my other personality. It's a great cruiser bike and since I debaffled the pipes it has a sound I can live with. Both bikes are fun but in different ways. I probably like the M50 better because it's alot smoother, actually quieter (I put straight pipes with 7" baffles on the Ninja), has alot more usable power and is better to take passengers on. I don't get as good of gas mileage out of the Suzuki but I really enjoy riding it. It's put away for the winter. I still get the Ninja out every now and then. It's become my rain bike. It's alot easier to clean up with all the fairing on it. Not as many nooks and crannies for dirt to hide.

Enjoy it and keep the shiny side up.

Welcome aboard and a great choice in a new bike!
