Smile M50 - able to handle 1400 mile trip!

Hi folks! I took a week long motorcycle camping trip with 3 other fellas which totaled nearly 1400 miles and spanned 5 states: from NJ to Catskills, NY and Adirondack Mts. NY, Burlington & Stowe Vermont, Mount Washington New Hampshire, Maine (for 30 mins) and Massachusetts.

Guess which one is me? The yellow dude... yeah, that's my jacket color too!

The M50 is quite capable, albeit not perfect for long trips, especially with cobra pipes (so complained our two senior fellas). I've since added to my collection an '04 Suzuki Vstrom DL 650- a pretty versatile bike. BUT, i love my M50!
