When investigating different Midweight Cruisers, this forum and this community sealed the deal...then i fell in love when i sat on it.

Only have 150 miles so far, but i plan on using a lot of the tools and tricks i learned on the posts here to enhance the performance and my riding pleasure.

DeRiggi. Enjoy the forum and the M50 secret hideaway. You have an awesome bike and yes I'm biased.
You got the best colour as well BTW.

[old new biker]

I am brand new to this forum, and wanted to just stop in and say hello.

I recently bought my first new Road Bike, after riding Dirt Bikes off and on over the years.

I am 52 years old and was widowed just over a year ago, so I guess this bike is a form of therapy, and I can tell you that it is working. I have a 34 year old son who is married, and lives about 10 minutes away, and I have an 18 year old son living at home with me, and going to collage.

My new bike is a 2006 Suzuki Boulevard M50. I stopped into the dealership looking for used bikes and he had this 2006 left over, and made me a deal that I could not turn down.

I have had it for 3 weeks and have put on 200 miles, so it is just now beginning to loosen up. I am being good during the brake-in period however.

I travel about 20 miles one way to work on 2 lane highways and country roads, so this is a great ride.

Well, I have to go now but wanted to introduce myself.

Talk at ya later.

Thought that I would take the opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Marilu and I have been riding for amost 21 years. A lot has changed since I got my first bike which was a HOnda Rebel. It was great for someone with my short inseam and I had a lot of fun learning on it. Right now I own a Kawasaki Super Sherpa. I will be in the market in the next year or so for a bike that I can do more street riding on. The Sherpa is a lot of fun on dirt roads, trails and some street riding but for any distance and speed, it's not so comfortable. I was looking at the Honda 599. The upright seating position and lower seat hieght is what drew me to this bike. I have lots of research to do. Anyone out there have the HOnda 599.

Glad to have found this site

Hello All, I just picked up a 2007 C50T Saturday morning, after sitting on the sidelines for over 25 years,man I had a ball. I was a little shaky at first but with practice and taking my time things got a better. Lots of valuable information from researching info on this site helped me in my bike search.

Thanks to you all.

[MOTOHOLIC!]

, all you new guys/gals I couldn't catch up with yet!

I'm the proud owner of a 2007 Suzuki C50. It's my 4th bike, but there was a 22 year gap between bikes #3 and #4. I took the MSF course to dust off the rust (and to get my Class M license again) and I'm buying into the idea of full riding gear (not the t-shirts, shorts and tennis shoes I wore in the old days). Like all cruiser riders, I'm bitten by the customizing bug and my 1st shipment of upgrades is due to arrive this weekend.

With a little over 200 miles so far, I'm loving this bike and I'm loving being on two wheels again. I'm still a bit nervous in traffic and at intersections, but I'm sort of hoping I stay that way!

Hello all.
I guess its my turn to introduce myself.
I am 26 and an electronic engineer. I moved to Japan about 10 months ago for work. I rode dirt bikes for about 10 years when i was younger, but ive been only riding a scooter for the last 5.
I am going through riding lessons now and will get my lisence in about a month and a half.
I am looking at a 2005 GSR400. I really like the looks of it, but thats all i really know about the bike. does anyone have any experience with this bike? I am wondering about the inline 4? I dont have any experience riding such a heavy machine.

We have a few riders from Japan here. That's a nice looking bike that you're planning to get.

Hello all. Enjoying all that the M50 community has to offer. Right now I'm recovering from ankle surgery so I have plenty of time on my hands. I can't wait 'till I can ride again.

[kokopeli]

Hi everybody! I just got a Suzuki GS700 E (1985) that's been sitting for a couple of years (so have I) and though I haven't even gotten it started yet I'm having a blast working on it. Can't wait to get it out on the road. Haven't ridden for a few years and moved since the last (Texas to Indiana) so I just got a shiney new license and helmet.
Anyway, this looks like a great forum and I'm happy to be here!
Ken
