    anyone own a suzuki boulevard m50?

    Looking at bikes and plan on buying a small cruiser this will be my first cruiser. Ive ridden sports bikea in highschool but out of that phase...really wanting feed back from ow ers if I can find it.
    Main conerns are size...its 805cc bike but light and seems easy to hold the big 1300s make me a little nervous due to weight and driving in stop and go traffic. Will I out grow this motor and beco.e bored too quick? Im looking for a cruiser not a racer but want something that wont struggle even if 2up.
    Bike seems comfy to sit on im 6foot and 240.

    Price tag is nice comparex to others and I really like the looks of the bike

    Other rides to look at in same price range?

    I have a 1800cc American Ironhorse Tejas. I would go w/ the bigger motor. You'll get comfortable with the bike fairly quickly and will appreciate the extra horsepower imo. Boulevard, roadstar are nice bikes.

      I had a c50. I liked the bike a lot over all. But I would get an 1100 or bigger. My c50 was very quick for an 800 but it wasn't worth a darn if you were trying to merge on to I-10 into 75mph traffic. And you may be thinking like I was... "I'll never ride on the interstate or in any traffic"... Truth is, you will want to get on the open roads (65-75mph) and it's just too wound out at those speeds to be a defensive driver like you have to be on a bike..

        How big are you? That 800 has plenty of power but that bike is fairly small. I've had that one and the S50. Bought both mainly as projects to resell, not so much for me to ride. I'm 6'1" and fluctuate from 215 to 250 That bike was small enough that I was told I looked like grape ape on a tricycle.

        However, both of those bikes easily stayed with the guys I rode with who were on a Vstar 1300 and Harley Ultra Classic. I'm a Suzuki fan by the way
