First bike I ever owned. Finally got to ride it today on the back roads with some twisties. The bike rode awesome.

Hard to compare it to other bikes. The only bikes that I have ridden were the Honda Rebel from my MSF course and my buddies V-Star Custom 750, which is a nice bike and was one of my other considerations.

All I was really looking for was a shaft drive, EFI, and the M50 fit the bill and then some.

Faults:

I had a bolt break in the clamp that holds the clutch assembly, had to have the dealer replace the whole clamp.

General Comments:

I love this motorcycle, this bike feels like it was made just for me, I love how it looks, how it rides.

I previously owned a Buell Blast... OK that's enough laughing, this bike is such an upgrade in handling, acceleration, comfort, performance, shifts like a dream compared to the Blast. I wish I had just gone straight onto this bike and never wasted any time on the Blast. Now I know the pure enjoyment of motorcycle riding.

Anyone looking for a cruiser should check this bike out, it is worth it.

Faults:

Nada wrong with this little piece of work.

Alright, to start this off right, I love this bike. Comfort, a little bit of a hard seat, but hey... 121 clicks on it right. The seat's not even broke in yet. And if it stays hard, a sheepskin will fix that right up. As far as the seating position goes, I'm 5'11 and have no problems with bending or reaching for the controls.

Power, I'm still breaking it in, but I have no problem holding legal hi-way speeds at the recommended quarter throttle. So I really forsee no future power problems.

Looks, well it'll take a little personalizing to make it all mine, but hey that's me. I'm gonna black out the air cleaner cover and the chrome flares on the rear fender, bob the signals, and cosmetic stuff like that.

Faults:

Nothing yet.

I just bought an M50. I haven't even accepted delivery on it yet.

You all must think that I have no right to post a review yet, but I can tell you this.. I don't take the purchase lightly. I did my homework.

This bike is by far the best bang for the buck. The dealer let me ride it in the parking lot which was a huge benefit. It felt great.

Please do some comparing for yourself before uying the M50. I'm just here to say, "consider this bike if you want value and all the latest technology"

I will certainly write again after I've had it a while.

Move over Harley, Yamaha, etc. the M50 is a tough competitor.

T-Bone.
