Nice
Nothing.
Great bike - most comfortable bike I have ever owned. Smooth, quick and powerful for a 805cc.

All I could ask for in a bike..
No hassles, period.
This bike is smooth, a great handler, looks awesome, and has the right amount of power that can handle any situation. The seat even seems comfortable.
Handlebars are widely spaced, however, I have long arms, so they are perfect for me. The bike puts you into a very relaxed position... can't wait for the big summer cruise around the Olympic Peninsula and Vancouver Island.
I wanted a bike that had the power, but would still get 50 mpg... this bike has it all... fuel injection, shaft drive... and a cruiser... no other bike could compare to it... the best bargain out there!!!

Great bike for the money!
Nothing. Still breaking it in.
This is my first cruiser after riding several sport bikes over the years. I have come to realize as I get older (and fatter) that comfort is more desirable than high speed cornering. I guess I have outgrown the need for speed (and tickets). I am 5'10" and about 250 lbs and this bike accelerates nicely even with my wife on back.
I decided on the bike because 1) I like the styling, 2) pricing for what you get is pretty good 3) decent gas mileage and 4) I wanted something lighter than the 1300cc and up gorilla's. Too bad they decided to change the style of the 2010 M50 to match the M109R.
Only nits with the bike so far are the brakes (why couldn't they have put a disk on the rear?) and it would be nice to have a sixth gear. Personally I like the quieter sound, but if you don't it an easy fix.
Overall, I love this bike and it is a pure pleasure to go riding whenever I get the chance.

I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase
I've only had this motorcycle for a week, so nothing so far.
This my second motorcycle, my first being a Honda Rebel. I haven't had the M50 for long, but I have to say that I am very impressed. It weighs almost twice what my old bike did, but it handles just as easily.
The only complaints I have are that for my smaller frame I find myself leaning forward a bit too far, causing my back to hurt after about 20 miles, and the rear brake should be a disc instead of a drum. But other than those two minor things, I have nothing bad to say about the bike.
I gave it a full review on my own personal site. You can check it out here:

I just looked up the 2010 M50 and you're right about the new styling. The M190R are ugly as hell, I don't know what those crazy people at Suzuki are thinking.
Anyway, I'm looking to get a mid-sized cruiser as a second bike after I get all I can out of my Virago 250. It's still somewhat of a toss-up between an M50, the Shadow Phantom or V-Star 950. But, it'll come down to price.
