Why the c50t

[henc90t]

Congrats! The seat is an easy fix. I found a Suzuki gel seat for under $200 and my but is happy. The C50 is a great bike. The only reason I went to the C90 is that my wife wanted to come with and I live in the mountains needed a bit more umphh for 2 up. Great choice A fun bike

Congrats.



I have the 05 SE and have 39,000 kms on it.
Great bike, recommend to everyone, I suggest you check out Gman industry for the shift lever bushing, well worth the money as it improves shifting.

Knew you'd love that C50T, did you remove the sticker on the gas tank yet? Congrats on your new ride!

Ha! Not yet. I have been busy polishing up the chrome and working the leather. Got it shining pretty good! Took it riding tonight actually and it's so much fun! Feels like a good ride.

My C50T is 2 years old and still has the tank sticker, but it's covered over with a US Navy refrigerator magnet in honor of our son in the Navy...

That's actually a really cool idea.

Well I have a 06 c50 I find that bike at highway speeds does not handle well, the front wheel starts shaking and I need to hold on to the handle bars, but at city driving it handles fine.

Thank you all that have replied. So I picked up my new bike (new to me) on this week. It's a 2005 C50T. It's in MINT condition (see picture above at the start of the thread). I have been riding it almost every day and I absolutely love it. It handles well, it feels solid. It get's a lot of looks. I keep shining it up after every ride. I think I made a wise decision.

I bought an 05 this summer I really enjoy it have 7000 on it now no problems

Reading some of the seat posts I believe the seat issues are because of rider anatomy and not with the seat. I thought the stock seat on my '05 C50T was uncomfortable so I got the Suzuki replacement gel seat, sold the original and no problems since.
I bought mine because I liked its look and sound. I still do, but the bags limit access to the tires and cleaning so I'm thinking of taking them off and putting a bag on the back rest.
