|  test ride on a 06 C50T
Hi i test rode the c50t today at Blackfoot Motorcycles in Calgary Alberta i ride a honda VTX1300 and was test riding the bike for my girlfriend She is a novice rider who just passed the MSF course and who is also the proud new owner of a c50t her first bike ,purchased yesterday moments after i arrived back from the test ride,bike will be ready for pickup Wednesday After a 35 minute ride these are my thoughts its a great bike shifts much smoother than my VTX the seat was comfy ,although anything is better than the stock seat on the VTX the bike was easy to handle and took all bumps and rough road a lot better and smoother than my VTX and just like my VTX, at 70 -75 MPH i was looking for a sixth gear  the only draw back , the throttle grip does not extend to the end of the handle bars, i am sure this is an easy fix, what grips are available to correct this situation on the c50t? she has been offered a straight up trade for some Vane and Hines pipes for her stock exhaust , does anyone else have these pipes on their c50t and did you have to re map the EFI to do this conversion thanks enjoy the ride Knight |
