what a great review!!!!! Bought myself a Boulevard, started with little adventures, bought a 3 men tent, packed the bike and camped down the coast, now I am planning the next adventure, cant stop riding the thing.....thank You Mark !!!!!!! from QLD !!
Great stuff Mario and Good Onya! :-)
Riding a cruiser on dirt roads is not a very bright idea. The C50 is a pretty tough old bike that has been around for a very long time. All the kinks and quirks have been fixed over the years. I own one and the only thing I have ever done on it was change oil, filter, tires and adjust the valves. It runs like a dream and I plan on keeping her for a long time.
Forgot to say... I’m in beautiful western North Carolina USA with beautiful twisty mountain roads. Biker’s paradise!
i am in europe, got the same bike from 2009. i bought it last season, rided 7000 km, here in europe its called C800 or VL800 Intruder. This video shows me, you dont need a 1500ccm bike to get around with touring. Thanks for that nice informative story.
cheers from Austria/Vienna.
Iv'e got a 1998 Suzuki Indtruder...1400...best bike ive ever owned...It got stolen in San Francisco....found by my wife 2 weeks later in the Tenderloin...I was so happy. It took a bit to fix but i nutured her back to health...Still riding her....
Just purchased my second Suzuki C50, another 2019 model. The first one was also a 2019 but the full-dress C50T which has the saddlebags. windscreen, etc. It was a great bike but I'm more of a purist and, thus, wanted to return to a Plain Jane. Now I'm once again a happy camper. Suzuki C50's are great motorcycles. Happy Trails, my friends.
I have had one for two years. It is wonderful and easy to maintain. The only thing I would want would be ABS as in the region in Thailand we live in there is sand and rain on the roads. I would have paid more if there were model with ABS.
Hey Mark, I just bought a 2009 Boulevard C50T with 4400 miles. Thanks for the great review and vicarious adventure. Can’t wait to start putting the miles on mine!
Hey I notice this video is 2 years old. Might be time for an update of Km and mini review.
Your review convinced me to buy my c50t this year, and i'm loving it! Bought it august 1st and already got 2600 miles on it.
G'day mate, great stuff and good onya! :-) Cheers... Mark
Do you still have your c50 in 2021
G'day Guys, here's the "Harry" review! Nothing too technical, just an overview and my personal thoughts on him. Hope you enjoy! :-) Cheers... Mark
Thanks been thinking of buying one (I'm in the UK, known as the vl800/c800 I believe) just one question. Were the valves that loud from new? And have you had the valve clearances done at all? Thanks
Gratulálok a túrához! Én Magyarországon élek és nekem is Suzuki VL 800C van a tulajdonomba. Itt is nagyon elégedettek vagyunk vele!
Thanks for your review. I just got my boulevard c50 a year ago, on my mom's bday, so Ludy she is. You showed me that I'm treating mine like a little girl and she will like to see the outdoors, and even better that she will not mind to let her have some fun and get dirty. I got it with 6k miles (some 9 k km) and I think I'll keep her for long time. I have in view some bikes to replace it but it might not be that soon. Thanks for making me discover the deep beauty in it
Great video. I bought a 2005 Suzuki C50T with only 7,000 miles on it about 4 years ago for only $4,000 USD. Best purchase I ever made. I have added a few accessories like driving lights, Cobra pipes and a Mustang seat and it is more comfortable than a lot of bigger touring motorcycles. It has plenty of power and torque for me. The only thing I wish it had was anti-lock brakes and cruise control. Ride safe.
FYI: my '05 had a recall to reroute some wiring to avoid chafing. '05 was the first year of the Boulevard refresh if their cruiser line.
Exactly what i was looking for .. going to visit the showroom tomorrow for promotion. Cheers
Suzuki c50 here i come
Im trading in one of my bikes and looking at the C50T or C90T. This is one of the best reviews of any motorcycle I’ve seen. Thanks for putting it out there and taking us for the ride.
Beware the C90's smaller tank. That, along with the larger engine and greater weight make for less range than the C50.
I love my 06 c50t over here in the USA,tx just a little over 11,500 miles. I love this bike coming from sportbikes like the old nasty rc51, this bike is just fantastic with the fuel injection it is spot on. I have a lot of aftermarket parts like you. Cobra pipes,tune,kuyraken intake, 16"apes and mustang seat. I don't think I will ever let this beast go.
Australians have a whole different meaning of cruising, when I had my sport bike I would never get in on dirt, now that I am getting this bike I was saying yay I can get it on dirt here in Texas hill country... while this guy takes it way off road... RESPECT!
Living life at the fullest, good for you! The c50 will get you there, I have one too, perfect day!
Have 30k on my 2009 C50. I didn't like it for some time but finally put a windshield on it and chucked the lousy stock seat for a Mustang with driver backrest. That made all the difference! Love riding for hours now. So far I've only done basic maintenance. No failures of any kind. The bike may not be fast or exciting but it looks good, starts every single time, doesn't leak any fluids and never breaks down.
G'day mate, great stuff and great to hear too... Good Onya! :-) Cheers... Mark
I just bought an ‘89 Suzuki 750 intruder . Always wanted one , just love . Never wanted a Harley. Always dreamed about the original 750 Intruder .Been riding Suzukis since 1971.
I just bought an 06 C50, its got 30,000 miles but runs amazing, i got it for $900 and had it checked out by a mechanic, i guess I was in the right place at the right time, i love it, thinking about bobbing it out, great video 😊😊😊
Man, that was awesome....I'm looking to get a 2008 C50T with low miles and thinking I want to do what you just videoed......much appreciated. I was hesitant on the engine size, coming off a 1200 Sporty...but this bike is exactly what I want! Thanks!:)
I had a U.S. spec c50t. Put 10,000 miles on it loved it. never any trouble Suzuki makes a great cruiser contrary to what Harley owners say. Stay safe, ride on.
Excellent review. I pick up my new C50 next week and now I know I made the right decision.
That would have to be the best review I've seen in a long time, bloody entertaining! You're a real Aussie in the true sense of the word and I found that very informative because you covered all the good stuff that we all want to know. Also taking us with you sitting down at the top of the hill and having a coffee was awesome. I bought the C50 boulevard about a month ago and absolutely love it and it's great to see that the bike can handle a lot more than I first thought. Nice work mate.
G'day Drew, thanks heaps mate... I appreciate the comments and good onya with your new Boulevard! :-) Cheers... Mark
Biker Bits No worries mate, I've subscribed now and watching all your other vids, some great tips in there. I'm looking forward to getting some of the accessories too. I live in Airlie Beach flying the seaplanes around the Whitsunday Islands and have just started to venture out to some of the back roads on the C50 and it's brilliant. Thumbs up!
A truly informative video as you stated correctly and boy what a view! I was considering buying a C800 and your contribution convinced me to make the final step. Now I need a name for it due to you😂 Kindest regards from the Netherlands.Tony
i looked at a S50 this past weekend and after watching this video im buying it ..thanks for the great review
Hey Mark, great review. If all reviews were like this, then we would all get the really useful knowledge we need which helps decide us if the bike is right for us. Without intending to, I think you've given me a great insight into the quality of Suzuki's design. How its survived some of the shit you've put it through, and to be still performing !00% is enough of a recommendation for me. Many thanks from a Pommie!
VL800 / C50 is a superb bike.. I bought a 2009 model the same year, the only issue I had was a loose connection to the speedometer (fixed during regular service maintenance). Otherwise, the bike ran perfectly fine, having provided me with some 70k km of pure joy. I still pity the fact I had to sell it in 2020.
Last year I bought an older model (a 2003 one - carbureted), with a few inexpensive fixes (exhausts mounting system change) & minor visual updates (changing the turn signals, replacing passenger footpegs for floorboards, etc..), it was still perfectly fine. The big maintenance (in my favourite service shop) cost only 200 EUR (yet, tires need to be changed this season). And yes, the bike runs perfectly fine, despite being ~20 years old.
Right now I'm riding the C90T (a 2007 model - I gave the 2003 VL800 to my GF to ride it), but I'm already squinting at a few VL800sfor sale, as for me, this 805ccm beast is a much better bike than its bigger brother - easier to manipulate on the spot, easier to handle in city traffic, more suitable for daily commuting, easier & cheaper to maintain.. Yeah, I think I found the love of my life in this bike.
BTW the lubrication issue is typically related to shops NOT doing the pre-sales checks & maintenance thoroughly, as the lubriciation of the shaft drive is listed there (at least here in the EU) - but yes, I agree, not putting in a little bit of (if I'm not mistaken) lilthium grease at the factory is just non-sensical.
LbnL a very nice video 🙂
Ride hard & ride safe.
Great video, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing pictures of your bike and especially, your country. It looks much different than where I live in Florida.
God created such a beautiful world!
Enjoy that coffee!
You are a legend for taking this THIC BOI of a bike offroad
Just bought an ‘05 S50. Checking out every review video on these Suzuki’s.
This one is the best by far. Good work!
GREAT VID! I'M DOING FLORIDA TO ALASKA ON THE 2005 C50. IT'S A SOLID BIKE,NEVER MISSES A LICK! RIDE SAFE AND ALL THE BEST.PATRICK-FLORIDA,USA
Patrick O'Donnell , how was the trip? I'm planning a trip for the spring from Delaware to Kentucky. How did the bike hold up?
You Aussies are so chilled out! Love this channel!!
When I first started watching I was like "There's no way I'm gonna watch this whole hour long video" welp I did. Really well put together video!
Thats a respectable cruiser- riding offload heavily loaded while keeping up with the dual sports that weigh half as much
Mine is a 01 Volusia. It's the same as a C50 only carburated. 65,000 miles (104,607 km) and still going strong. Best engine and bike size for alot of people
Good Onya mate! :-)
I bought a 2005 C50T, road it for about 15 years before I traded it in on a newer bike. Was a great ride.
I'm a firm believer that Australians are the craziest bunch! Your adventures are awesome! I just got a Suzuki boulevard s50. And I couldn't come close to treating it like that in the states. Lets me know I got a good runner. Keep it up bro!
Have the same bike also had the drive shaft fail. Was told factory did not grease components when in production. Same price to fix, was told was good forever now. Love my bike, put Unique Cycle Sounds amp and speakers on, love my tunes. Think I'll be riding this one until I can't do two wheels any more.
Hey mate! Floridian here wishing to thank you for your video's, stumbling upon your channel/videos about your 09' Suzuki Boulevard C50T made me realize that I infact made a great impulse purchase of a 19' Suzuki Boulevard C50T. I also learned about buffeting and how to fix courtesy of your videos! So, much love and thanks from this silly Floridian with the same cruiser. Safe travels and take care! - Medium Sauce
Well done and well said Mark, it's all about the bond between a person and their bike with two wheels travellin' down the road :) timeless.
Mark thanks so much mate! I am a year in on my VL250 and looking for the next step up. Not any more. I knew I wanted a cruiser, looking at all the mid sized bikes narrowing my choices down to the M90, 50, C90 or 50. Mate your video has made my selection so damn easy. Going with the C50 - VL800. A straight forward review. Bloody sensational. Thanks again for sharing. Off to TeamMoto tomorrow. :-).
G'day Steve, no worries mate was my pleasure :-) Cheers... Mark
Nice review. I’m inspired! I had a C50 that I bought new and rode for a couple years. It was my first motorcycle. I sold it 5 years ago and got a used C90 that I really like as well. Love your video.
I have a 2006 Suzuki C50... It's my 3rd street bike and, by far, my favorite... 1st was a 1979 Suzuki GS750L... 2nd was an 1982 Yamaha Virago 750... Both were good bikes, but, this C50 blows them away....
That was a great review. I enjoyed seeing the bike going beyond asphalt roads. Here in USA many will scream in disbelief but cruisers are good for dirt roads too. Obviously not really bad ones but transitable ones. My C50T looks just like Harry. I also have an S40 which is a smaller one but powerful too for the freeway. You should do a longer composite of different trips to see Harry in action.
+arturothecook Thanks heaps mate! :-)
It’s one of the best reviews I have seen on C50
I remember it well!
Right around the time it was rolling 19000 miles. I felt it jumping on the ride home from work.
I got home and googled it and it's all over the Volusia forums about 19000 miles and the shaft failing.
And like you it was a big selling point for me I bought it brand new. 100,000 miles, no maintenance. Nothing in the manual.
But love my M50.
Mines black and white and I just put a batwing on. Good little bike.
19000 miles, about 30000 kilometers. No coincidence mate!
Great video. Watched it while replacing tank grommets and polishing chrome on My C50 boss. Also check plugs clean the spaces in between. Great job my Australian brother.
We absolutely love Suzuki, price is always right and easy maintenance for the most part and long lasting. We'd much rather spend the time on the road then in the garage fixing the bike all the time like other brands :) We completely agree with you on the speeding, very well said. We had a Suzuki Boulevard S83 2 years ago and then upgraded to the Suzuki Bandit 1250s and now my DR650 along with my wife's DR200. Great video as always Mark, hope you have a marvelous day :) T4S
G'day mate, great stuff and thanks! :-) Cheers... Mark
Thanks for your great video! What a great composition of shots, photographs, editing, and planning you did in here. Awesome bike! Awesome lifestyle!
I am deciding between Yamaha Bolt XV950 and Suzuki C50, and I like a lot more the look of C50. Nice Harry's mods.
Cheers from Mexico! You got a new subscriber :D
They were having trouble with the shafts, some friends were taking them apart and finding out there was next to no lube on some, so started just taking them apart for people and lubing them up real good and have had no problems with the ones the lubed up. So good idea to check them out to be on the safe side. I did have two and never a problem with them. and put a lot of miles on the first one and gave the second one to my sun who is still riding it.
Really enjoyed the bike review, I was not familiar with the C50 at all. It seems to be about the size of my sportster 883. Also, the ride to the mountain and scenic overlook was awesome! Beautiful country there! Your videos are always fantastic! Keep up the great work!
+Trevor Jameson Thanks Trevor! :-)
Loved the review mate. Spot on. I'll do a review like this on my bike one day. She's my first bike and despite being a LAMS model I don't have any intention of getting rid of her yet. I've got 52,000 trouble free kms from new with so many memories that I simply don't want to get rid of like my trip around Tasmania.
G'day mate, thanks and yeah they really grow on you :-) Cheers... Mark
I never thanked you... but it was watching this video like a gazillion times that I finally in August last year I went to get my own C50 2021 (the candy red one) from my local Suzuki Dealership and let me tell everyone that is still deciding, all that it is said here is true!! that being said, it is never too late... Thank you Mark!!
Great stuff mate! 👍
I have a 2017 model. Love this bike! Hello from lower slower Delaware U.S.A
Which town? Used to live up north. Miss the beach access...also own one a 2009 and love it!
@@danhowell8629 between laurel and Delmar
This is an excruciatingly thorough record of your trips on the C50. Thank God you didn't have a dump.
Hi Mark
I had a 06 C50 for 1 year. Didn't like it. Traded it for the C90. I put 90,000km on the C90 in 5 years. Great bike runs along the hyway at half the RPM than the C50.
Your lucky to live where you do. Hope to see Australia some day.
Keep up the great vids.

G'day Rob, thanks heaps mate! :-) Yeah the 90 is the perfect bike for highways. Cheers... Mark
Great practical review! Honest and pure. Thx mate!
+Cesar Recinos - My pleasure! :-)
How many miles on Harry now ,where's the update 2018
Thanks for the video. I'm thinking about trading off my Honda GL1500SE Goldwing for one of these. My wife has a C50 and I'm looking at a C50T. The Wing is just a tad cumbersome and I LOVE the wife's bike. Thanks again.
Loved your review. I had a m90 a few years ago but looking at the c50. You sold me on it, nice vid
Cheers mate😎
Am thinking of purchasing an 09 the same is this and after watching this video I'm pretty mush sold, loved the video, was entertaining and honestly told me everything I needed to know, great work mate, thoroughly enjoyed it.
Just bought my first bike....2007 Suzuki Boulevard C50......551 miles on it
Bought from bike dealer that got it roadable(yeah,y'all can use that word)....great bike!!Having problems finding sissy bar,saddlebags,etc
Most impressive: after 44k, you pushed the starter, she turned over, and it made you smile. That said it all.
Thanks for the review on the Boulevard, I want to buy one and I have heard the drive shaft problem is common. I really enjoy your video's just a down to earth good bloke who enjoys riding adventures and your enthusiasm fir it is contagious.
Thanks for the video. This helped to to make choice for a first bike. I was originally going to get a honda shadow aero but after viewing your vid I am totally going to get the suzuki boulevard c50t. Can't wait to go riding.
Love you're videos mate, straight to the point. Iv got a VL1500 it's like a tractor, you convinced me on the c50 boulevard. Keep up the great work, love from England 👍🏼
It has been said "time is money" the moran who said that did not ride a motorbike to the mountains and cook up a brew on his snow peak stove. You don't live in money YOU LIVE IN TIME. Time on your bike in nature is where it is at.
Good review, Thanks.
+hcwbw3 Thanks heaps and well said mate! :-)
Great video mate.. loved it.. informative and entertaining, and reminds me of why I ride.. It's all about the overall experience, the relationship between rider and bike, the journey and the destination.
It should be named "Suzuki Boulevard C50 - Documentary" xD best Review ever!
+Jesus Palacios (JPdrums) LOL... Thanks mate! :-)
On ya mate! That was unreal. I’m just about to go from an M50 09 model to a 2015 C50 with only 4K on the clock. It looks shmick, I think I’ll call ( her ) Megean seeing that you’ve got Harry . Can’t wait to start the long trips from Sydney to wherever. Cheers
Happy 40,000th anniversary harry, keep on cruising. 🏍🎁🎈🎉🍰🙂
This is a great video, really, really enjoyed it and helped me make the final decision. I was just in the cycle shop today looking at the C50 and the new Bolt. I had a 2001 Volusia (VL800) which is the father of the C50, and I loved it - moved to a Harley, then sold that and looking to get back on the road with something smaller and less work. I loved my VL800, but was taken by the slick style of the Bolt. After watching this video, I'm going back to the dealer and signing for that 2013 C50 - I can't wait to see where she'll take me, but this is inspiring - thanks for an awesome video!!
G'day mate, thanks heaps... much appreciated! :-) Cheers... Mark
I have a suzuki boulevard c90t boss 2013 I have traveled in different areas and atmosphere until 68000KM and still bike in the best case
A friend of mine is shopping for a bike and he wants one to ride the way you do. Camping touring and cruising. He's asking my advice and I told him about the boulevard and how I would recommend this bike of all the used ones that we've looked at.
+Johnny Striple - Great stuff mate! :-)
The drive shaft issue is due to it needing to be greased immediately from the manufacturer they only put a dot of lube on them and then don’t tell you it’s needed so most destroy it until they find it in a video one day. Supposed to pull shaft and 3 point grease it every time your replace your rear tire or yearly depending on tire wear
The Suzuki C50 is a nice looking bike, it has the proper cruiser style, lots of chrome, and no flat black anywhere. But there are a couple of reasons why I wouldn't ride one. At least not very far from home. The main reason is tube type tires. I've been riding on the street since age 16 in 1975, and I have had dozens of flat tires on bikes with tube type tires. It's been an absolute nightmare. A flat on a bike with tube type tires automatically means a tow truck, there is no way to fix it out on the road. I have been stranded every time I had a flat on a bike with tube type tires. I have spent thousands of $$$ in towing bills because of them. When on trips far from home, and a few close to home, I have been stranded for days, waiting on a shop to fix the tire. Just a little over 200 miles from home, on a Sunday morning ride, I had a flat. I had a roadside service plan, and they towed me to the nearest motorcycle dealership. Being Sunday, it was closed. And because they are open on Saturday, they are also closed on Monday. I stayed in a motel for 2 days, and missed two days work. The shop finally opened on Tuesday morning, and got it fixed just before closing time. Total costs for all that were around $1000. I will no longer ride a bike with tube type tires more than 25 miles from home. The other reason is not as bad, but can be a real PITA. The valves on the C50 are among the hardest to adjust of any motorcycle I know of. I'm a recently retired auto mechanic, and I wouldn't try it.
I am currently riding a 2002 Kawasaki Vulcan 750, also known as a VN750. I bought it new, and have put just over 118,000 miles on it. That's 190,000 km. It definitely shows some wear, but still runs like new. I have ridden all over the U.S. and parts of Canada and Mexico on it. It has cast wheels and tubeless tires. In 190,000km, I have had ONE flat tire on it. I would have had at least a dozen flat tires in that distance if it had tube type tires. And I was able to plug the puncture, reinflate the tire, and ride several hundred more miles on it. It also has shaft drive, which I love. Many VN750 owners have had their shaft drives fail. There are two reasons for that. One, they did not properly lubricate the driveshaft splines at the factory, and the first driveshaft service is at 10,000 miles. By then there would likely be significant damage to both the driveshaft itself, and the final drive assembly. Fortunately I found out about this problem on a VN750 forum before buying the bike. As soon as I got my new bike home, I took the shaft drive apart, and sure enough it was completely dry. The splines need to be lubed with something that is 60-75% MOLY. NOT regular wheel bearing grease. I use Honda Moly 60 paste. Properly maintained, that original driveshaft is still working fine. The other big problem with the VN750 is defective automatic cam chain tensioners. Kawasaki Made the VN750 completely unchanged from 1985-2006, and never fixed that problem. New oem cam chain tensioners will last about 10,000 miles before they fail, and failure usually causes catastrophic engine failure. Fortunately the aftermarket came up with some very well made manual cam chain tensioners that don't fail. A couple of other problems are carburetors that are extremely difficult and time consuming to remove and reinstall. Mine have only been off once, because of the other VN750 problem. A stator failure required the engine to be removed to replace the stator. It's a $2500 job at a Kawasaki dealer. In did it myself in my spare time, and while I had the engine out, took the time to remove, clean, and replace several parts in the carburetors. All of these problems would have been easy to solve, but Kawasaki never did. Just being aware of them can help prevent everything but stator failure, which wouldn't be such a big deal if you didn't have to remove the engine. The VN750 has hydraulic valves, so no adjustment is necessary.
Overall I have been very happy with my Vulcan 750 over the past 21 years and 118,000+ miles (190,000kms) It's getting about time to retire it. Since nobody makes a carbureted bike anymore, I'm probably going to replace it with a 2004-2006 low mileage carbureted Harley Sportster 1200. I don't need the problems that go with EFI
Entertaining. My C50 has over 22,000 miles on it since i bought it new a little over 4 years ago. it's a great bike.
G'day mate, thanks and yeah they are a great bike! :-) Cheers... Mark
Outstanding review. Thanks. Greetings from sunny tropical THAILAND. I’m currently riding a =RE= Meteor 350. Two years 28,000 km. Big issue the vibrations! Therefore I’m looking for a second hand Suzuki Boulevard C50 800 or a KAWASAKI Vulcan 650. Greetings from sunny tropical Thailand.
I'm planning to buy a C50T for my wife. I've done a lot of research and lots of people are saying the bike really needs a 6th gear for longer trips on the highway. They claim lots of vibration. Has that been an issue with you?
I grew up in that area. Anymore than a couple of hour up there and you'll have the worst headache from the RF radiation. The ABC broadcast tower which is the taller mast puts out 50Kw of RF power! Not a safe place to be!
Great review. Rode a 2009 for about 50,000 km. Vancouver British Columbia to Toronto thru Michigan etc. down Phoenix and back home to Van. to Las Vegas a few times. lost the drive shaft at about 45,000 km in northern California. Had to trailer it home. Expensive van rental, but only 220.00 for parts. did the labor myself. very practical bike. good on highway and in town. Range a bit short. I'm 6'2" and 200 lbs. Decent size for me, but not great 2 up. have moved up to 2013 c90t. Really nice touring bike. Bit less nimble around town, but wonderful power and torque for the highway and 2 up no problem.. Hope the driveshaft hangs in there. Thanks for the vid, mate.
+Hans Oosterom Great stuff mate and thanks! :-)
Enjoyable adventure with you, need more adventurous rides that the rest of us can attend like in this video. I think that if you purchased a Yamaha V star 1100 you would be very happy with it. The C 50 really is a good bike though but the 1100 V is the best bike in the world for a cruiser !! Test drive one and you will just have to get one trust me. It's fantastic. Your next adventure should be a long ride to the beach where you will grill a small steak and serve it up with a fruit salad and Tea or make shish ka bobs and talk to beautiful women on the beach. Now we're talkin ... .. ..
Maaaate - thanks for the bloody excellent review.
The Australian accent is by far my favorite. Shoutout to downunda
On day soon I'm going there ..check.our the Bush.men.there very down to earh
On day soon I'm going there ..check.our the Bush.men.there very down to earh
Down to earth as you can.get even.the kangaroos like it
That is a good bag of tricks you have there. Good to hear about the bike and take in the view. You cant seem to go wrong with a Suzuki they just seem to take whatever you throw at them
G'day Dan, thanks mate and yeah the Suzuki's have really worked for me! Cheers... Mark
Biker Bits....Hello, good video. I have a 2006 C50 but the only thing I could never get used to were the foot controls (floorboards and toe heel shifter) so I'm swapping them out for a set of M50 foot controls (pegs and toe shifter). That should do it for me...
I love the heel shifter. I can wear polished dress shoes to business meetings.
I’ve got a 2003 intruder Lc1500 just rebuilt the carbs and it’s great so far! Great video mate great info!
The Lounge Chair
Hi mark, without a doubt my favorite video you have done yet!...dont think that your boring to listen to and watch man, if people think that then dont bloody watch then right!...so, the bike is just awesome man...i just bought a m50 used with only 6700 miles and i cant wait to get out on it, but here in the us, pa to be exact, its around 10-20 degrees!....yikes, anyway man please keep doing what your doing cause at least one guy you can bet on loves watching!....thanks man!....
thank you from Saudi Arabia. really enjoyed the video 👍 keep riding
I enjoyed video and very good about putting the rubbish in your pocket a lot of people don't I sometimes will end up cleaning up an area before I leave it. And where I live in the state of Maine in the US there are hundreds and hundreds of little places to find we have all kinds of mountain ranges along the coast and inland. A lot of little waterfalls to visit and ski resorts in the summertime all kinds of lakes I always travel the back country roads I stay away from the highways. I've had many motorcycles in my lifetime. Honda's, suzuki's, yamaha's, Indian Chieftain, Indian Challenger, Royal enfield, Triumph Bonneville 120 and Can-Am Spyder. I traded the Triumph Bonneville in for the 2022 Suzuki Boulevard C50T I like that little portable stove he was that was pretty cool. I purchased the boulevard 2 months ago you have 4,000 miles on it it's a little over 6,000 km when they first came out they were called Volusia 800s and I purchased one but close to 100,000 miles on it and it was still going good when I sold it. I decided to go with a lighter cruiser 200 pounds lighter than my Indian chieftain makes a big difference. And the tie as you changed out I probably would have put a few more thousand miles on them. Keep the rubber side down if you can stay off that sand LOL some of the writing you did you should have been on the adventure bike these cruises I don't really meant for the dirt. The drive shaft assembly does have a little vent cap on it you going to deep enough water you're going to have water inside your drive shaft where you put the gear oil.
Little slow to see this video but, I've got 22,000+ miles on my 2009 C50 K model (looks exactly like yours) bags, mempis fats shield, mustang seat, cobra streetrod pipes, lowering "bones", PC-V processor, with some baby ape bars & (knock on wood)haven't had a minutes' problem from the powerplant, a flat rear tire had me stopped for a little while but other than that it's been service maint, & roll on. I got off of an 06 Sportster(that was eat'n me up $ wise) & onto this Boulevard with "NO REGRETS".
a street cruiser in the bush! dude your my hero!
Thanks mate, yet another great video this time on a great bike, yes I own one as well and this is my third C50 they are such a great bike at a unbeatable value to buy and did I mention the word "great" enough times lol.
Mark I also agree with what you say, we live in the best Country in the world with some of the best scenery around the corner from all of us.
Ok mate here's to you for another 40,000kms with Harry and plenty of more video's for us to view from a proud C50T owner cheers.
G'day Bruce, Thanks heaps mate! :-) Cheers... Mark
one of the best videos i have seen!
Hi Mark, I've got an 09 C50 as well, but it's only got 6000k on the clock, I don't get out as much as you,
but I really enjoy when I do.
Your review was fantastic, non scripted, which makes it better.
I live at Endeavour Hills, near Dandenong Melbourne. Theres lots of hills and windy roads around.
Might start taking the gear to make coffee, instead of buying it all the time. Looks like you enjoyed it.
Cheers. Shayne......
G'day Shayne, great to hear mate and thanks! :-) Cheers... Mark
Thinking of buying a used local Harry myself. Hey mate bring a thermos alot easier lol. I guess it is kind of cool to make it at the location. Enjoy your videos continued success.
Thanks heaps mate and yeah thermos is a great idea! :-)
Greetings from Canada and a fellow "Harry" owner. Wanted to say how much I enjoyed your video. Great work and thanks for sharing.
Couldn't help but watch the whole thing!
Thanks Mark.
:-) Cheers... Mark
We watched this as a 2 part video lol, Beautiful bike and the views were just amazing. That's a lot of kms to cover with the DR650 down there :) laughed when you took the apple. We love finding new lookouts when we explore, and bring some green tea and a bit of honey to sweetened it. You didn't bore us one bit, great video and a great way to somewhat visit Australia since we can't be there. Thank you again.
G'day guys, thanks heaps! Cheers... Mark
