First M50 sighting in the local Syracuse area - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Since I bought my Blue 06 M50 two years ago, I have seen several in the dealership, one by one, and they are always sold with another, of a different color, in its place the next time I go in.

However, I have never seen another one out and about in my local Syracuse NY area. With the singular exception of one, who's owner I, purposely, met over near Sodus, NY to buy a set of stock pipes from, I had only seen one other M50 anywhere, and that was a black one at a rest stop last summer down by Nyak, NY.

Yesterday afternoon, (Friday) at approx. 5:30pm, I was going east bound on I-690 just east of the Fairgrounds, along Onondaga lake, when I saw a motorcycle coming in the westbound lane. I kept watching as it went by, and low and behold, it turned out to be a gray M50. I could not tell if it was a limited or not, but it was a gray M. No other bike has a rear fender anything like the M.
