So I just bought a 2007 Suzuki Boulevard C50T and I'm already selling it? Check out my video to see why despite being an awesome bike, that the Suzuki C50 just isn't for me.
As always, thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe to stay up-to-date with my future videos.
Damn, I'm almost 70 years old and I don't complain half this much after a ride.
I’m 65 and have dropped an 850lb bike on me and did not complain. Sometimes in life we try to make something or someone what they are not. I say sell the bike and move on. I would enjoy having the very bike at the price-level he paid. But don’t complain at this level. Really, I think it’s a ploy to get views...have a great new year. Blessings to all. Peace.
Dude was a Baby, l knew when he got startled by a cabbage 🤣 in the beginning of video. 😳
You are definitely tougher than me! I dropped a bike that only weighed 660 pounds on myself. Broke my leg, crushed my ankle and foot! I was alone and screamed bloody murder for about ten minutes the pain was so bad! My hats off to you.
@@davesnothere. same here. Two fusions with hardware and a shoulder replacement and I ride every chance I get.
I'll be 71 this year and this guy whines so much I couldn't stand listening to the entire video. I own several bikes ranging from an 83 CX650C to a 04 Victory Kingpin to a 94 GoldWing. This dude wouldn't survive my garage! 🙂
I bet he doesn’t get asked to go on a group ride very often. What a whiner.
I absolutely love my 2012 Suzuki C50T, it rips and keeps up with Harleys, plus it's a super affordable bike. There's really nothing to not love about this bike, I think it's an underrated hidden gem of a bike.
I have a 2013 C50T, my favorite for exploring those country roads. The bike is well mannered, does every thing well.
@@russwilson4 absolutely! I've had it for what 3 weeks now and put over 3000 miles on her. Definitely a great starter bike or one to just enjoy because it's so affordable! Ride safe brother!
I agree. I actually have the 2002 volusia 800 with pipes, hypercharfer and re jet, 30k miles and still runs like new. I think some people are just meant for different types of bikes.
@@thomasnelson213 that's really great way to look at it! I'm a huge fan of Samurai and traditional Japanese culture. So I don't feel guilty for not riding a Harley. Not dogging them because I do love the way they sound but this bike just fits.
Same
I owned them since 2005 to 2022 every 3 years or so I get new one Suzuki c50 is good motorcycle for all, you have to be healthy physically and mentally to deal with motorcycle and I don't think your are in good health. Take care of yourself and don't worry about Suzuki C50 .
I've driven it from Texas to Alaska a few times and I' was 65 and I plan to go a Again next year and I'm 71 now, life is too short Enjoy your life even if you drive scooter .
Ah ya cry baby, get a schwinn. 😥
I knew he was a cry baby when scared of a Cabbage in beginning 🤣
Yeah. He said he paid about $2000 which is a fantastic deal even if you don't like it you can always get your money back ..... and more. He's just an annoying whiner.
You’re like a guitar snob. I have a fatboy and I like my 06 c50 better. Lighter, faster, better on gas, cheaper & easier to work on
Fatboy from Terminator? Thats my Dream bike
I have an 06 m50, love it
Talk to damm much
Before writing the bike off did you check the rear shock settings? Because if the shock was too stiff for your weight then it would make the ride comfort drastically worse like your saying
I got a 2019 C50, smooth riding, comfortable...love it.
Go to a chiropractor...you are comparing this cruiser to a dirt bike... are you smoking crack? The shocks are adjustable and seats can be changed out. The Susuki is the best mid size ride. You got a bike with bugs, fix them. Why do you compare a 250 to an 805. 🙄👎
These bikes don't have a vibration problem. You probably have a wheel out of balance. It happens. You're so annoying. I felt like punishing myself apparently by watching this.
So it’s not the bike it’s you not in shape lol I love this bike it’s a relax chillin bike for me . Great video
Love my 2005 suzuki Boulevard C50 its boss
You’re just not a cruiser guy! 😊
Man get to the damn point a little quicker next time!!!! Go see a chiropractor & get another bike I won't call you a baby but this is not the bike for you. I have that bike and my breaks work great!!
Uh, I think you just called him a baby...... btw, I won't call him a baby either.
I will, Ya Big Frickin Baby,🤣 l knew when he got startled by a cabbage in the beginning of vid. I've had 4 back surgeries/ chronic pain but my 07 C50T is not a problem, u either have wrong sitting position or wrong attitude, not like it cuz ur comparing ur bike, but u were funny, too squirrelly for me ✌️
have an 05 M50 and LOVE it. its like driving a lazy-boy on wheels
Listen 👂 If this Suzuki Boulevard C-50 is not for you, Then by all means, Move on Dude! Not All Motorcycles 🏍️ are for Everyone!!!! Get on with it! Try a Suzuki Boulevard C-90, or a Kawasaki Vulcan, You Should Always Test Ride the Bike that stute you fine!
I Love my 2013 Suzuki Boulevard C-50T and it fixes me just Fine! I Love the Style and the reliability!!!! I Had 2 Harley's in my Lifetime and Never Again! Overpriced Piece of Shit 💩 does everything, except Run! And I'm not Saying that I Beat on my Motorcycle or Vehicle. I Always take Good Care and Well Maintain my Motorcycles and My Pickup 🛻 Truck. But, You and Only you must decide what motorcycle that fits you fine!!! Good Luck 🤞 on Everything!!!!
It's a fun bike to ride, it's a good bike overall, but I don't like it?
This isn’t a C50 problem, this is a guy who clearly isn’t a cruiser person problem. Just wish I didn’t have to wait 5 minutes into the video to find that out.
Sounds like you just don’t like cruisers
I had two C90T Suzuki Boulevards over a 20 year span. Best motorcycle out of 8 others I have owned, including 1982 Goldwing. My wife and I went coast to coast on long trips on these motorcycles . Low maintenance with oil cooling. Just put it away in the winter and start up in the spring. Of course change oil as needed. The long wheel base made for a comfortable highway ride.
With 30k on my C50 mostly 2 up riding, I couldn't be happier with it.
It sounds like cruisers just aren't for you, and thats definitely okay.
I own sport bikes and cruisers and the ride is certainly different, particularly the riding position. That upright position takes some getting used to, but just like anything else you tend to get used to it.
I'm 140 lbs and tipped my 2006 suzuki boulevard twice. I was able to pick it right back up twice no troubles. It's a good lighter bike that still has great stabilization
News flash bro. The c50 is actually 10 times more comfortable than a Harley. I’ve owned both and nothing more comfortable than the c50. Took an 8 hour road trip and loved it.
Try changing your posture.. a lot of cruiser riders kind of slump and that puts a lot of pressure on lower back.. most comfy bikes I have ridden have taller handlebars.. such as a heritage style.. but lacking that try focusing on sitting upright chest up back arched as if you are standing.. it works for me.. or scoot farther back in seat and lean into handlebars kind of sport bikeish.. hope it helps..
Drum brakes? That’s disappointing. Vulcans are a much better option in this class.
i have an 07 c50t.i have 14 inch apes on it lowered the rear 2 1/2 inches.with Vance n Hines cobra pipes.mustach crash bars with 6 inch speakers Bluetooth radio.harley Davidson hard bags on it.front n back fender rail guards.
Ffs, it's not a new bike, seats lose their comfort with use. You bought it for peanuts, could you really not stretch to a nice, comfy after market seat? There's even one with a back rest.
Hahaha, sounds like you bought an SUV and then complain that the brakes suck and it rolls a lot in corners compared to your sports car 8). Its a cruiser. And not a terribly expensive one at that. 8)
In another video somehwere, someone mentioned that the earlier models of this version tended to get vapor locked after shutting off the engine sometimes...if one of the pistons stopped at TDC, it didn't like to start. Also on the later models, the handle bars are set further back for more comfort
This video was just a rant about not liking cruisers. Hope you ended up with a Sport bike and hopefully quit your damn whining about trying out a cruiser. 😂😂😂
I love my c50t super comfy sit with backrest love it.
Any piece of equipment, cars and motorcycles, it takes several weeks for your body to adapt to the seating style of the vehicle. Everything from shifting levers, clutch handle, back position and etc. Your body adapts to the position.
your breaks must need replaced mine will throw you over the handle bar if you hit it on the front, I have never had any issues with mine on aches and pains lol im 62, maybe it is showing you you need to see a dr , lol catching it early that hip replacement
That's a c50c. No tank badge and mag wheels.
I have a 2006 C50 and the stock seat was terribly uncomfortable. After a few hours my tailbone would start to hurt so bad that I couldn't wait to get off the bike. I bought a two piece Mustang Seat and the problem was solved. It was expensive (about $420.00 back then), but worth every penny. Now I don't dread those occasional long rides.
Where can u buy those seats from
I have a Granucci Hale Bopp with the factory gel pad on my 2005 Boulevard C50 and it's all day comfortable, plus it looks great.
I have a history of lower back pain, specifically near my tailbone. The C50T is a beautiful cruiser though. But I would probably go with naked or the non-aggressive seat posture of some sportsbike. Thanks for the information.
I did my L5/S1 back in 2000 and have since developed chronic thoracic degen. I hadn't ridden for years except for occasional jaunts on my VF750F which wrecks me. Last year a mate bought a m50 as a second bike and when I had a ride I thought, damn, this is the go. In Feb tis year I bought a c50 and am loving it. It's a little underpowered and underbraked but comfortable enough for a full days ride. Being a naked cruiser, wind over 1000kph is a problem but I don't do freeway riding, just stick to country back roads really. All in all, for a crook back, I find it pretty good.
GET TO THE POINT!! JESUS
I have the 2015 M50 and I don't vibrate until 70+mph. Is the issue ALL cruisers or you? Hmmm? Modded bikes do change the ride so maybe your bike has a unique ride. I also questioned the rear drum but without ABS it works fine. Cruisers don't instantly go and stop and often times that is what the young want.
Add the vs1400 drift shaft mod it’s like a whole new bike highway cruising is way better
Naked bikes are great, my FZ09 was great for standing while riding. For comfort and distance, standing is a must in my opinion, adventure bike perhaps?
I've gone from a FZ09, didn't like the highway performance because it's beating you up with wind.
I had a ZX14r. It wants to kill you and break every speed limit law every chance it can.
Currently looking for a 3rd bike, I'm thinking KTM 890 Adventure R. Extremely comfy with great wind protection.
Anyone got the big bore kit on your 805 that takes it to 866? I'm very intrested in that kit
You don't have to keep apologizing for your opinion, brother. Like you finally said, it's just not for you.
I am 53 and just got back into riding, after 30 years. If you had told the 23 year old version of me, sitting on the back if his Ninja, that he'd have a cruiser like this in 30 years...he'd have flipped you off. This bike would not have been for me either, at a different stage of life.
But I absolutely love it now.
I totally understand what you mean. I had always rode Hondas, cb's, shadows, etc. I wanted a big cruiser, so I sold the other bikes and bought a harley road king. It was an amazing highway cruiser, comfort, power, handling was all amazing...but...in the city, it was like riding a Cadillac on a go-kart track, it and I hated stop and go, inclined parking lot entrances/exits and long lights. Sure I could have gotten used to it and perfected my style, but thats not what I paid for. When you pay thousands for a bike, or anything for that matter...it should be exactly what you want it to be.
It’s definitely a bike the grows on you. Mine just seems to get better the more I ride it.
Mustang seat, hyper charger air intake and free flowing pipes.
It rips.
You got an amazing deal. I just got one for $1,650 in way rougher shape. So far I really like it it's a big bike but totally maneuverable
The rear suspension has 5 adjustment settings. But if you don't like the bike, you don't like it. get a new one 🤙
Such a crybaby! These bikes are incredible! Even my 2003 VL800 with carbs.
Switched to a Mustang seat, it was odd at first but much better for longer rides
I bet your specific bike just doesn't have handlebar weights I think it's called, that stabilizes that vibration
Best best best bike I have 2007 with 23;000 miles. Just using full synthetic oil changing oil just after 2;500 miles. That's it nothing more and it looks far bigger than it's original cc. Best acceleration best fuel consumption
Es otra tecnología de inicios de siglo: frenos híbridos, suspensión dura, en fin, es una buena máquina... Para sentirte más cómodo puedes probar con asiento Mustang y unos posapies sobre la defensa... Con eso sentirás una gran diferencia y hasta se vé uno más agresivo y se siente más cómodo...
I had a similar experience with my 1st & last cruiser. Sore butt, back & legs & it felt weird to corner. Brakes were too weak to prevent crashing into a truck that didn't see me & pulled onto the road. Some said my cruiser was too small (650) so I'm thinking I may rent a larger cruiser 3 days & see if I like it. If a 800-900 is too small I'll pass. I don't need a bike that weighs over 650 pounds. Some say I need at least 1,300cc to ride highways. I do 80 mph all day on my Honda NC700X & it's only turning 4,000 rpm. 670cc.
Of course you can't lean this cruiser like you could a dirt bike!!!
Good grief!!
It's an amazing cruiser...I think you're the problem.
I ride my C50 and have no problems. I’m 65 and you you sound like a winer. Get a different bike and quit complaining.
Very nice motovlog, I do agree with the backpain thing, today I test drive C50 2020, its very comfy but after riding I got lower back pain.
Isn't the whole point of a cruiser because it's more comfortable than a crotch rocket?... I guess if I rode one and it was uncomfortable I'd be disappointed too. Because all my life I've thought they were basically lazy boys on wheels
U just needed different bars itll help with posture i changed mine and i gotta say Huge difference less back issues and stiff joints
He rides a dirt bike but complains of the C50t seat. does not make any sense. i have never been uncomfortable on any motorcycle seat. i hvae never upgraded a seat.
Don't blame you. The brakes SUCK on this bike & under-powered.
I've had back surgery and my back is still destroyed, but I am totally good on the bike.
Did you not ride this before you bought it ?
Another thing I can help but notice, why do you hold your grips at the very end ?
After listening to this guy makes me want to buy me a Lincoln and give up bikes
So your saying sitting up straight hurts lol your getting old man. Just accept it
Interesting issue...
I was gonna go with the Boulevard because it's shaft drive... but maybe I should just stick with going for the Vulcan 900 (belt drive, still better than chain)
Tough call, isn't it?
I bought the Kawasaki Vulcan 900 classic and I whole heartedly recommend it.
0-60, about 5 seconds.
0-ridiculous rant, instantly.
You LOST ALL cred. when you put that crap on your seat!
How has your diet been treating you since this video? Good I hope!
I AM BUYING ONE IN TWO WEEKS AND CONTENT WITH HAPPYNESS *****
The reason why I won't get a cruiser. I have chronic low back pain and the angle you sit with the pegs out and the impact on the low spine would debilitate me in one ride. Lol. You should have kept the cb500x. I ride the cb500f and love it! Vstrom is a nice pick👌
Yeah it definitely gave me some lower back pain and hip pain...just not the right bike at all (for me). The CB500F is a beauty bike..really like the look of that one. The CB500X was just on the smaller side for the kind of riding I do, hopefully the Vstrom 650 will fill that niche for me perfectly.
I love my boulevard. But yes some bikes aren't for everyone.
What a dream of bike. I am looking for wheels like the ones you have
Learn to ride ,why do you pull in the clutch on the turns and corners and coast ?
That's true...the vibration i mean..😒
good lookin bike but They sorely need a 6th gear (or taller 5th) Sold mine for a honda ctx
Maybe play Golf instead 😂
Mine is good and amazing bike to have. To me, it is no 1 second to none.
You hate everything in live .
Thanks man, I almost bought it
Hey yo, I got a 2013 Silver M50 Boulevard, same bike as yours but the sportster version/trim and the turn/lean is kinda wonky, I had no probs with leaning other bikes before, and my hips and upper legs do get cramps. essentially people like us need the riding position closer to that like the UJM where our legs can be closer together. My previous bike was a 1979 CB750, and I've ridden others.
If possible find someone with a 1970's cb750K/F to compare the c50 to. Your issues/My issues:The Brakes There definitely is something wrong with yours, My front and back are all good and strong (front can just pick up the back end). Lean, actually I believe I know the "iffy" feeling when leaning in turns, my brike is a throttle type, that means that do to the driveshaft and engine breaking I have to keep me hand throttled up to maintain speed, this bike doesn't coast at all and that is especially true on turns. This bike forces you to keep the perfect throttle position on curves and turns.
Despite saying all that, this is an excellent bike.. but.. I really think I should have bitten the bullet and gotten a more UJM style bike, my rides would've been more comfortable. At time of purchase March 2016 if I waited a few weeks I would have seen the Yamaha SCR900, or test ridden the SR400 (though the sr400 has the shifter closer to under the seat making you ride with your feet slightly under you, not a prob for some) or the big one, at time I could have picked up a 2014 CB1100 still crated at the dealer for $5000. I didnt think I needed 1100cc's but now I know I missed out. My advice start looking for some modern UJM's (Universal Japanese Motorcycle) Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki and Honda have them you just need to know how to spot them.
Fpr some reason the Japanese manufacturers are afraid to sell them, it's like they don't want people to think they are old fashioned which is a shame.
I with you on the seat not being comfortable. I have a bad back and tail bone to begin with though. I’m going to go to more straight bars first though before I give up on it. Kinda wishing I bought a sport bike now because of it. But not giving up just yet. Cheers
Sounds like a sciatic nerve issue.
YES! I had same bike and SAME back problem. NOTHING in the world hit my tailbone like the C50 did. Literally as if I broke my coccyx. Just from riding. Weeks of pain. Crazy. Had to get rid of it.
Be nice, folks. He's just making a video and sharing his thoughts. I think cruisers can cause some backache after long rides, depending on the rider's height, although it's not that big a deal. For its price the C50 is fantastic, and looks like a far more expensive bike. I've had three C50s and one M50 over the years. Currently own a 2010 with only 23000 KM on it, that I bought late last year. Looking forward to getting to know it this season. Ride safely all...
I've never ridden a Suzuki C50 before, but I have had a lot of cruisers over the past several decades, small ones, midsized ones, and large ones, and found them all to be very comfortable. I'm 65, and started riding on the street at 16. I've had over 40 bikes, over 2/3 of them have been cruisers. I like cruisers because they are by far the most comfortable bikes out there. I have ridden about a million miles, including several Iron Butt rides. All of my long distance rides were done on cruisers. I have owned a couple of Goldwings, but they were too much like driving a car to me. I want to be out in the wind. I don't use windshields and didn't like the huge fairings on the Goldwings. I like to sit completely upright, with most of my weight supported by the seat, my knees at close to a 90 degree angle, and a good bend in my elbows. The one thing I absolutely don't want is any of my weight supported by my arms and shoulders, and my neck bent way back to see where I'm going. My favorite midsize cruiser is the Kawasaki Vulcan 750. I have well over 200,000 miles on them. I've had 2 new ones and one used one. They are super comfortable, and, with 66hp, much of it at higher rpms, they do great on the highway. If you are cruising at 70-80 mph on the highway (which is only about halfway to redline) all you have to do is whack the throttle open. They have a great top end rush.
s50 is a cruiser for you then, super peppy, mid controls, and drag bars.
Dude you were constantly complaining about that you didn't like this bike, but it took you almost 6 minutes to come up with a reason. You know how that sounds right?
I was about to buy 2005 C50 and now I'm having second thoughts....
Sometimes, it's just not your ride. Many dealers don't allow test rides and even if they did, you need some seat time to go through all the terrain and environments you ride in. It can be things obvious like foot peg placement, or things like you just don't like the feel of it. I like you didn't revert to the obvious "it's too small" - I had a Vstar 950 which obviously had more power but was also heavier and much less manoeuvrable than the C50 - the shifting on the C50 is much more precise and it has the shaft drive.
I've owned one cruiser and had the same problems with my butt and back. Switched quickly to a standard bike setup.
I own the c90 and have the SAME COMPLAINTS as You.
Ok so you want a sports Bike. But I would love to buy the C50 ! Each to their own !
You paid 2gs...really
It's look good and sound good but not for me. I don't feel the motorbike thrill.
The issues you mentioned, especially the hips, were what I had with my Honda Rebel 500. It was a lot do to with it being narrow and mids on it, went to a HD street 500 and had no issues. But I prefer the wider stance of something like this/C90 or the Kawasaki Vulcan 900/1500.
The reason for my first to bikes are that these were the only size we can have as a "learner" rider here in the land down under (Australia).
Top speed??
I’d love to see you ride a Shadow 750 and see how it compares. I always thought the C50 or M50 would be a great bike.
I think Cruisers are pretty great, but my ideal mix of bikes would be a cruiser and a adventure bike.
I wish more of us could own a bike for a few weeks and see how it feels.
I'm 74 years old and love my c50t. Rode it 402 miles in one day last week with no problems. Seems the younger generation whines about everything.
How long does it take you to go from 0 to 100 mph?
A year and a half.
