Title: Brought my new Suzuki home today

Warning nasty camera phone picture  -

But there is my new 2007 Suzuki C50 all in silver and white. I will post a better picture when im home with my good camera. Got it for a thousand off list. Might have been able to do better but I'm happy with the deal. Its a lot of motorcycle for $6000.

I saved about $4000 over the 2008 Sportster 883L I had looked originally. And it came down between this one and for a thousand less the Vulcan 500. But this has more toys on it then the Vulcan and I think I can grow with it without wanting to trade it longer.

So next week I should be putting a 7,000 mile 93 GS500 up on Ebay that just had $800 worth of maintenance done to it a couple weeks ago.

Traitor!  HANG HIM!   :mad: :laugh:

I almost bought a V-star before I discovered the GS.  I'm sure a medium / large cruiser is a great highway ride, never had a chance to ride one though.

Have fun!   :thumb:

Well its a a Suzuki so I didnt stray to far. Took it out for a nice 90 mile ride today. Was surprise it did on the highway. Although if I followed the owners manual Id be shifting far to often.

Now to put a tach, saddle bags, a sissie bar, and a windshiield. Plus learn what all I can do to the engine. Not that it needs help

800cc

And after riding it for 90 miles Saturday and doing a portion on the highway. Id be hard pressed not to put a windshield on it. But its far down my list past the tach, saddlebags, and sissy bar of some type

Nice bike!

I'd put a windshield on too; comfort over looks! :)

Pic is no worse than the excessive soft focus they're always using on Barbara Walters.
