i bought an m50. great bike.... but i need. more. powwwer! m109 is what i would get

even with the power commander, the m50 doesn't have enough power?

wouldn't it be pushing something like 65 hp with the power commander?

If you wanted power...you should have thought about something a bit more than 800 cc's.

My next bike will probably be a Yamaha Warrior. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the M50, and I would buy another one in the future, just for the customizing aspect. But just like every other M50 owners complaint I need more power. It was the best 1st bike for me, but I absolutley love the Warriors styling and the power.

the more I read around here, the same answer/complaint keeps coming up.

More power, more power, "more comfortable seat" and more power.

that darn v-max ought to be selling like mad with these kinds of attitudes.

me, I'd like to have to bit more power, but I also believe in the "out of the frying pan and into the fire" concept also.
