How Does the Suzuki C50 Boulevard Handle on the Highway? | Motovlog #29
Переглядів 96 тис.3 роки тому
What's going on you guys? In this video I take the Suzuki C50 onto the highway for a quick run and share my thoughts on how it handles. Ultimately, if you're looking for a decent highway cruiser or commuter, you can't go wrong with the Suzuki C50. It definitely handles better than my Honda CB500X. Not too much buffeting, enough power to pass, although a 6th gear would be nice. As always, thanks...

For the last ride on my 2014 Honda CB500X I put together this video of one of my favorite scenic rides in Hamilton. It's not one of my typical motovlogs where I ramble on throughout the entire video.

Can You Take the Honda CB500X on the Highway? Is the CB500X Highway Capable? | Motovlog #20
Переглядів 59 тис.4 роки тому
In this video I take my Honda CB500X on the highway to show you guys how it handles at highway speeds. For a 500, it does great on the highway at speeds up to ~14-kmh. Even at ~140kmh there is still plenty of power leftover for passing or accelerating. Although, here in Ontario it's not necessary to be passing anyone or cruising at these speeds for extended periods of time. I just wanted to sha...

How Much Does Motorcycle Ownership Really Cost? | Motovlog #3
Retarded video. Brakes are fine. Drums work prefectly fine they have more stopping power than Discs, they just overheat easier.
Oddly enough I was looking into getting one of these until I saw the beard guy talking about the C90 and how cheap they are. Sure enough, you can pick up a C90 for the same price as the C50. Doesn’t make sense to me. And we’re talking same year and mileage. And the C90 doesn’t need the valves adjusted. 🤷🏼 So if you’re going to be doing a lot of highway riding, look into it.
You speed on a lot of roads in the city, maybe slow the f down, doing 60 on roads that are 40, smh
I did 4 hours today on the interstate. The bike can do it but the question is can the rider put up with the wind. Its like riding a picnic table in 80mph sustained winds. Its rougher on you than it is the bike. I feel like the sweet spot is between 65mph-70mph..... but it has probably 50% throttle left so it csn do way more, its just not fun.
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.
Rode mine to Sturgis and back from South Central Mo, to Waco tx twice and Sturgis KY pulling a trailer several times
U just needed different bars itll help with posture i changed mine and i gotta say Huge difference less back issues and stiff joints
You LOST ALL cred. when you put that crap on your seat!
I AM BUYING ONE IN TWO WEEKS AND CONTENT WITH HAPPYNESS *****
So your saying sitting up straight hurts lol your getting old man. Just accept it
I was wondering about that because I never put mine on the highway yet
I bet your specific bike just doesn't have handlebar weights I think it's called, that stabilizes that vibration
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
what year is this bike?
Informative review- thank you. What year is this bike?
Hi thanks for the video. How tall are you ?
Love the sound.
Maybe play Golf instead 😂
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 ?
Just bought my first bike. It's a 2011 Suzuki Boulevard C50. I got my beginner's permit, so I'm practicing on it right now, just in the parking lot. I take my course August 10th weekend.
Good luck this weekend! I am in the process of getting everything together.
I have a 2007 C50. Bought it new. I love it.
Even a mildly tuned 800cc twin is fine on the highway. Even a 600 is more than enough for highway cruising
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
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.
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.
Mine is good and amazing bike to have. To me, it is no 1 second to none.
There is quite a bit of wrong info in this video, not sure if things have changed in 4 years. You must hold the M1 license for 60 days and no longer than 90 days before upgrading to the M2 license
Given this particular topic, this being an old thread really doesn't matter, so I think there is a difference between learning on a 250-300cc and a 500-550cc and it's a major difference. Caveat before we get started, don't buy bikes based on CC, it means nothing at all to the rider and it is no way differentiates one bike from another in an apples to apples way. You want to buy bikes based on Horsepower(top speed you need to run), Torque (how much of the horsepower can be planted into the road right now to make me launch this bike), Weight (do you want to deal with 200 pounds falling on you while your are learning or 1200 pounds), and finally stopping power. This last one doesn't really have a nice neat metric attached to it, so you need to learn about braking system and its associated features like ABS. In 2024 do not buy a new bike what doesn't have ABS if you are a brand new rider. That out of the way, the biggest difference for a brand new rider between a 250cc and a 500cc (ignoring torque) is going to be that the weight of the bike is generally going to double and that will radically affect how well you learn how to ride the bike. Its not even about having to pick it up when it falls over, it is that every single thing about learning how to ride will be orders of magnitude more difficult by starting with a bike that is twice the weight and what happens to many people is they never learn to ride the bike effectively at slow speed, then they end up dropping it, then they put it in the garage and will it to the grand kids. Start with no more than 25 hp/25 nm of torque and less than 450 pounds...preferably with the weight evenly distributed and down low.
Thanks man, I almost bought it
What a candy ass
Though this video was about the Boulevard C50 but 3/4 way through and not much about it. I will be picking up my third one, hope in a week or so. Had a couple and loved them but just like to try different bikes. about one a year lately. Versy 300 rev way to high on the highway. KTM 390 great bike but to many visits to the shop, very seldom fixed the problem with out going back two or more times, up to four times for the same problem, Suzuki DR 650 had to put a 20 liter tank on it to get some range with out having to start looking for gas, Honda 300 L just to tall fore these old bones, Now a Honda CB500X adventure, great bike but after the KTK 390 a bit of a disappointment, and off road forget it. Now at 75 finding the Honda CB500X a bit top heavy, with all the bags on it. For a fun ride have the Honda trail 125, great run about bike, put a 46 liter trunk on it, and a small tool box in front of it, but of course not good on the highways, good for 80 Km as long as not heading into a strong wind, or long up hill. Keeping the Trail125 , but trading in the CB500X Hopping to get a lot of highway miles on in the next couple of years, at 75 and health failing not sure how much more I will be riding. If they sold the Urals 2 wheel drive here on the island think that would be my pick, had two and loved them but need to be near a dealer. Driven bikes form 50 cc to over 1000 cc and love them all, but never found a do it all, closest one not sure but may be the KTM if not for all the problems, and one grate won was the Royal Enfield 500 with the army side bags on it, the Honda Varadero another great ride. Lots of bikes to remember lots of great rides and stories. Must of been over 30 altogether. Well back to the video and may be he will talk about the subject the Boulevard C50.
NOT a beautiful province.
Really helpful and honest review! Thank you. I have been looking at this bike as well as the Transalp 750. The price difference is $3500 more. Seems like the 500x will work for what I need.
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.
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.
After listening to this guy makes me want to buy me a Lincoln and give up bikes
I've had back surgery and my back is still destroyed, but I am totally good on the bike.
I have an S40 big single and this is a logical next step for me. Only I want to keep weight in check as I am partially disabled. How heavy does the bike feel to move around the garage? thanks
Had mine on interstate, highway, state roads, county roads, township roads even gravel wash board roads. Even had it on a dirt trail for a short time. No issues😊
Learn to ride ,why do you pull in the clutch on the turns and corners and coast ?
I think you need the pad in your pants instead of under you as much complaining as you have done
of corse you can go up to 95-100 m p/h
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...
Where are u at man? Makes me darn depressed not seeing you in so long.
5.5L / 100km with 120km/h
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.
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.
Great video, How many miles to the gallon or km per liter ?
Are you doing mph or kmh?
He was doing kmh
What a dream of bike. I am looking for wheels like the ones you have
