Now that I've fitted a K&N air filter, can my otherwise-stock 2015 Suzuki C50T go one hundred miles an hour? Only one way to find out! Music from www.Bensound.com

My c50 tops out about 83. Its bone stock no wind sheild but has bags and 2up seat. im 6'3 250lbs so probably a bit of a weight difference from rider/rider. I have a HD street glide for hwy/interstate long distance trips. The c50 i use for cruising in town and down winding back roads in the country and frankly i love the c50 id sell my street glide before i would ever part with the c50

I agree. I loved my C50 for exactly the same reasons. I even rode it from Myrtle Beach to Daytona when I sold it and it was a fine touring bike. Only sold it to get the bigger Valkyrie for two-up riding with my wife. Wish I could have kept the C50 but wasn’t to be.

Just bought a 2019 C50. Love it. Low to ground, smooth, comfortable ride. Great maneuverability and awesome speed for highway at 70-75, zero vibration. I love the fuel injection, easy starts, and upwards of 60 mpg. Can't wait for Idaho summer touring in the back roads with the pines and wind in my face. Turns heads, Susuki has a great track record with this series of over 20 years. 🤘😎 Video is true all the way!!

had my bone stock 2008 c 50 up to 160kms "99mph" and it was still gaining speed. No problem getting up to speed either.

There may be a freak stock C50 out there that can crack 100 MPH with a tiny rider on an ideal day -- but I doubt it. And if that's true, so what? It is not designed to go 100 MPH. If a 100 MPH bike is what you want, don't buy a C50; if you want a comfortable, reliable mid-size cruiser for -- well, cruising, this is a fine machine.

Interesting. I have been buying and selling motorcycles, trading them in, buying new and used, on quite a clip the past ten or more years. The C50 is sold now, but I did love that bike. Suzuki nailed the styling. And the comfort. Currently I have a BMW R18, a Royal Enfield Int650, and a Husqvarna Svartpilen 401. All three are great bikes. But I’m still shopping for the next one!

And there's nothing like riding past big road kill that's rotting in the sun, smelling that oh so delightful scent of decaying flesh. I'm shocked that bike won't do 100. I had a Honda V45 Magna (750) that would clear 100 easily and I had it up to 120 once, still with throttle to go.
@QuentinsMotoVlog4 жыл бұрын
I'm surprised too. It's bone stock except for the K&N, which makes a difference I can really feel. It was still gaining speed when I had to back off at 93.4 mph, but gaining very slowly. I think I would need about twice the distance to really test if 100 is possible.
@VKFMIACOM4 жыл бұрын
Surprised your bike would not do the ton. My 2009 C50 does it easily after the K&N filter install(no other mods) & feels like it has more in it. Mine does not have a screen, maybe that`s the difference or maybe it`s the 98 Octane fuel I`m running.

VK2FMIA.COM thanks for your comments. I couldn’t get to 100. Could have been any of the things you mentioned. I loved the C50 while I had it. It has a good home now in Florida.

@QuentinsMotoVlog3 жыл бұрын
I can't remember but I think you're right. My Honda's have been spot on but I think the C50 was optimistic. I downloaded a GPS app on my phone called Speedometer Pro and paid a few bucks for the full version. Very clear and accurate display. Good way to check your speedo's accuracy.

Apex Squad yeah, if I had a longer stretch of road, plus the K&N (and maybe a tailwind) maybe... regardless, I really liked the C50. I liked the styling, the comfort, and the overall vibe of the bike. In the end, it just wasn’t enough bike for me and my wife. My Honda Valkyrie is more than enough!

@QuentinsMotoVlog2 жыл бұрын
Doing "the ton" is time-honored measurement of any motorcycle. Additionally, if a bike can do 100, it can probably cruise at 80, which is basically required on many U.S. highways. Got it?
