Can the Suzuki C50 do the Ton?

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!

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

[@QuentinsMotoVlog]

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.

[@SweetBlu]

Really? I can hit 100 no isssues on my 2008 C50.

[@slowboys4052]

@@SweetBlusame I hit 120 the other day lmao. It took a while but it did it 😂

[@philatkinson3955]

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!!

[@QuentinsMotoVlog]

Thanks! I hope you love it. I've moved on but I truly loved that bike.

[@happyrv2061]

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

[@billwhite7015]

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.

[@EazyDuz18]

Mine does 100 easy, yours must have low compression

[@QuentinsMotoVlog]

@@EazyDuz18. Maybe…

[@johnwild3923]

2002 c50 change the exhaust and put a bigger main jet in the carb as my bike does the ton,not possible on the injection bike.

[@QuentinsMotoVlog]

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!

[@thomasnelson213]

I've got an 02 volusia. Hyperchqrger with k&n, Vance and hinnes pipes, amd was told it was jetted...got it to 105 indicated.

[@QuentinsMotoVlog]

Nice!

[@crupert23225]

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.

[@QuentinsMotoVlog]

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.

[@VKFMIACOM]

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.

[@QuentinsMotoVlog]

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.

[@AlexHG-bc3hz]

Is you speedometer correct ? Mine is not correct , would like to adjust it.

[@QuentinsMotoVlog]

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.

[@robertcarlos5973]

I’ve gone over 105 easily on my 05 c50. All stock. Wonder why newer ones are struggling..

[@QuentinsMotoVlog]

Euro regulations? Or maybe mine lost power over time?

[@johnnytsunami6185]

all depends on riders weight

[@QuentinsMotoVlog]

@@johnnytsunami6185 maybe. I weight about 170 pounds.

[@SweetBlu]

I am 250 lbs , and can ge tmy 08 over 100 anytime I want. Doesn't need much leg room either. Also feels like it wants to go more lol.

[@apexsquad5078]

Il have to post mine. Its a 2007 and I can get right too 100 but I do have quite a bit more road. I get to 90 no problem!! It's that last 10 that come slowly

[@QuentinsMotoVlog]

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!

[@nathanrichardson2055]

Great 👍

[@QuentinsMotoVlog]

Thanks!

[@stevewalther2293]

Hey! What brand of windscreen would you recomend on C50?

[@EazyDuz18]

idk

[@rickg.5171]

I agree with his comment about wearing boots and pants on a ride, way too many daisies out there riding in their little shorts.

[@QuentinsMotoVlog]

Yeah, in years past I've done the shorts on hot days on a big cruiser, but it's just plain stupid. No more!

[@petekraemer6613]

I never tried to get my 2007 C50 to 100...maybe some day ;- )

[@QuentinsMotoVlog]

Not really what it’s made for. Great bike though, I loved it. Thanks.

[@luxfair]

No motorcycle will do the Ton. Ton = 1,000 and Kilo = 100

[@QuentinsMotoVlog]

Do you not have many friends? caferacertv.com/history/the-history-of-do-the-ton/

[@ricardodifirenze3855]

Mine goes 100

[@QuentinsMotoVlog]

Down hill with a tail wind? Just kidding. Some people tell me they can do 100. Regardless, it is a beautiful bike.

[@chrisalexander6278]

Why do you need to go 100 miles??

[@QuentinsMotoVlog]

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?

[@bjorndecker3233]

I got my 2009 C50 to go 105mph on the northway (interstate) took about 4 miles of 100% throttle lol Had to see the difference bcuz before that bike I had a 2004 Honda rebel 600cc to 93 MPH ! (slight down hill grade for both, I weight 170lbs 5'10"

[@QuentinsMotoVlog]

Ha! I loved the C50 but a speed demon it was not!

[@Samuraimindset-]

I got my c50 to 120 mph! Course I was free falling over a cliff but still.. 😆

[@Fred_BlackB]

There is no reason to ever ride 100 mph. Only the young and the dumb feel the need to drive excessive speeds.
