from M50, what bike would you upgrade to? - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

dreygun · 08-26-2008, 06:33 PM

wondering what bike is up there on your list of wants, above your M50. i shop at the harley store here alot, and always seem to drool at some of the solo seaters with primer grey colors and blackout pipes/ parts.

HD StreetGlide. I think i'm getting old

And one day...ooooh one day THIS

Low&Slow · 08-26-2008, 06:44 PM

For me, I went from the M50 to the Vulcan 1600. The next bike I think I would really like to have is a Street Glide.

Street Glide, Royal Star Tour Deluxe, and C109RT are on short list of cruisers I'd consider.

Alex13 · 08-26-2008, 07:04 PM

I love the B-king. I think its one of those you love, or hate, no in between.

For me I want a Kawasaki Z1000. It favors the B but it is 4,000 less. Its my next bike for sure. I will still keep the M.

edmontongreg · 08-26-2008, 07:06 PM

V-Max or Night Rod

jwm50 · 08-26-2008, 07:09 PM

Roadliner, Raider or M109... would be a hard choice but one of those bikes for me.

Drtoronto · 08-26-2008, 07:23 PM

the new m90 would do me fine

ickb · 08-26-2008, 07:47 PM

Already had the Harley, 3 Gold Wing, don't like the M109 shifting, keeping my M50, already had 2 Hayabusas

, Valkyrie, RC51.

I'll take the Suzuki Savage S40

OK, I must have missed something. I know they made an M95 for a couple of years, but when is/was there an M90? If that's true it would move to the top of my list of next bikes. Also on there would be the Kawasaki Mean Streak and the HD Fat Bob.

Drtoronto · 08-26-2008, 09:04 PM

dealer tells me theres a new m90 model for 09

dreygun · 08-26-2008, 09:05 PM

nightrod special in black looks pretty shtoit

dr death · 08-26-2008, 09:09 PM

i gotta go streetglide,m109r or a road star.

Michigunman · 08-26-2008, 09:15 PM

I like the blacked out look. Maybe a Harley Night Train. Like the FatBob too but the Softail frame fits me better. Probably stick with the M for a couple more years though.

I've had my eye on the Royal Star Tour Deluxe. I also like the Honda VTX. I think I'm gonna add a sport tourer to the stable before I upgrade the M50 though.

MotoJPizzle · 08-26-2008, 09:42 PM

BMW K 1200R or Yamaha Raider or M109 or HD NIght Rod
