2008 Suzuki Boulevard C50T

Summary:

Go get one, it's fantastic!

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong with the bike.

General Comments:

I loved this bike from the moment I laid eyes on it, and that was before I got to ride it! I have been riding for 32 years and have to say this has been, by far, the easiest bike to become comfortable on. It has ample power, even for two, and is very easy to handle.

Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes

Been comparing the V Star 1100, Vulcan 900, Shadow Sabre and this C50T, there seems to be a common complaint on all but the C50T that 5th gear is too small and the bike works hard to keep up. Have you found this to be true on the C50? What RPM are you running at 70MPH?

Though I'm not the original writer here (see my review on same page), I have to admit that for the longest time I kept trying to upshift when already in 5th gear... While it would be unfair to say the engine is straining, I just wish there was a 6th gear for interstate speeds of 65+... Regardless, I really, really LOVE this bike...
