Hopefully they won't add floats and a rudder.

Yep till recently there were only left over 07s.

There were 2 M50s that sat on the floor for a LONG time. They are gone now. Dunno if they were sold or sent to another location. <shrug>

Suzuki brought the 2009 Boulevard line up to the rally in Maggie Valley, and the display truck had made several other stops on the way to the dealer show in Vegas. The only change for the M50 was the color options.

My dealer here in Fort Worth isn't getting any more bikes from Suzuki until at least September. They're just about running out and might have to close the sales department for the rest of the summer. When I asked why he said Suzuki shut down 40% of their production of motorcycles this year because of the record poor sales last year. They had too many bikes, this year they made less and it's biting them in the ass. When I sign the papers for mine on May 28th there was one other M50 there and that was gone when I picked it up a week later on June 5th. They're getting no more Boulevards at all.

Really?

Hmm, they had a purdy black B-King sitting in there last time I was there. Maybe it's time to swing by and make them an offer they'll probably refuse but might not.

I was there yesterday (yup, I got caught in the rain) and they are running low on Suzuki cruisers. I didn't look close but at a quick glance I think they just have Yamahas on the cruiser side.

i'm seeing more and more M50, C50, C90's and M109s now on the road...
we are slowly taking over the market... which means only 1 thing...

yay for aftermarket parts!!

I was in there a couple of weeks ago and noticed the derth of Suzi cruisers, wondering what was going on-now I know. BTW sat on that B-King, hated it. Sort of liked the VStrom though (I think it's gone now) .

funny thing is, if i could take some aspects of both bikes, i think it would look like a total monster...
might be kinda cool. too bad i'm a tard when it comes to wrenching... hah...

i think the biggest problem would be to FIT the damn motor on the frame... apart from that it might be ok...
if i had a ton of money to throw around, i'd like to see it built...
