Hi,
My name is Doc. I'm and old rider who is getting back into it after 25 yrs outta the SEAT.
I have been thinking of getting a Suzuki Boulevard M50 or C50.
It's mostly for cruising around town and to work, but I would like to take a couple of trips around 800 to 1000 mi. this summer. Will the M50 or C50 be enough bike for the open road, riding 3-4 hrs at a time?

Thx Doc

The M50 or C50 will be big enough IMHO.

You should no issues out on the open road with a C50 or M50. In June 2006 I took a 1500 mile ride over 4 days and the bike performed flawlessly.

M50/C50 is plenty of bike for an all-day cruise. Go for it.

Stop thinking about it & go buy one already. You'll be pleased.
