This bike performs great. As a first time rider, I feel like it is made for the novice rider.

It was very easy for me to get comfortable with the shifting, after I started pulling the clutch about one third of the total travel instead of all the way in.

I have heard some complaints about the seat and handle bar position. I am 5 feet 8 inches and 200lbs, and I have no problem with the reach to the bars.

The bike is a joy to ride, and I feel I made the best possible choice for my first bike. My only regret is that I bought it in October, and now I won't get total enjoyment until the spring!

Faults:

Absolutely nothing.

General Comments:

I love this motorcycle. It has more than enough acceleration to get you into, or keep you out of trouble.

It's not a sport bike.

It does have decent handling in the twisties.

I have put 35,000 miles on this bike in 19 months.

It still performs flawlessly.

I am 5'10" and have had NO problems with the seat. I routinely put 200 miles without stopping. I think it's very comfortable.

The motorcycle stands out in the crowd by its look. I'm always told by passers by how nice it looks.

My only change would be dual disk brakes in the front and a single disk in the back. However the stopping ability is adequate.

It gets 55-60 miles per gallon.

Nothing has gone wrong with the bike yet.

The last bike that I had was a 1200cc H-D; the darn thing cost me too much money to keep it running, and it only has 7 more horse power than the Suzuki M50 805cc!

This M50 is pretty cool; the only thing about it that I don't like, is it doesn't have a 6th gear, this bike really needs a 6th gear!

I ride this bike on long trips, I go across the "Blue Ridge Parkway" in NC and it has more than enough power to pull any hill, even with my wife on the back; she weighs about 120lb and I weigh 239lb. The bike speeds up great from a stop with us on it!

We also ride with large groups, and we keep up fine with the bigger bikes. The next Suzuki I buy will be a C-109!

Faults:

Head light seems really dim in low beam, but dealer says it's a standard bulb and everything is normal (I drive with the high beam on now).

I love this bike. I was / am a complete noob to riding motorcycles; never even shifted one until the M50. I got laughed at for buying this as my first bike. However I will tell you this; it's a fantastic first time bike. I love it and am happy with my choice. It's got all the power / looks you need to not get bored with it.

It really felt like the bike was built just for me. It handles and feels great; even the braking is smooth and quick.

Great bang for the buck!

I have already ridden in a large group of other bikes, and the M50 got quite a bit of attention with its unique features and "Harleyish" looks. Everyone wanted to sit on it (Yes, including the one Harley guy we had)
