I've been riding for just over 2½yrs and have a 2001 Honda Shadow ACE 750 as my first bike. After owning it I'm convinced you can get a great cruiser that's just as reliable or more then any Harley. I'm sticking with Japanese cruisers

[@881qyk]

I ride a 99 Ace 750. I mostly agree however my neighbor let me borrow his 95 Dyna ( Evo engine) and OMG I can’t get the experience out of my head It’s like going back in time and experiencing Americana from back in the day and I absolutely fell in love. I still have my Shadow but I can’t stop thinking about that Evo powered Dyna. I need me an older Harley Asap!!

[@glennbellman1100]

I rode a Honda 1100 shadow for 9 1/2 years. It weighed in at about 585 lbs. I put 102,000 miles on it

[@geraldscott4302]

I put 118,000 miles on a 1997 Kawasaki Vulcan 750 that I bought new. A broken cam chain destroyed the engine.

[@ewells79]

Glad to see the Japanese cruisers getting some love! We picked up an ‘05 Boulevard M50 this summer for my wife as her first bike. It’s perfect for her. Small enough to learn on but big enough that she won’t outgrow it anytime soon.

[@aluisious]

"Outgrowing bikes" is not a real problem. If you can't explain what you can do with a bigger bike that you can't with a smaller bike, you haven't outgrown it.

[@ewells79]

My son started on a Rebel 250. He “outgrew” it. As he gained riding experience, he wanted a bigger, more comfortable bike, extra power to keep up on highways, more torque for a passenger… We didn’t want the same thing to happen to my wife.

[@brianhoppenrath8379]

Never should hate in any bike, they are all great in their Own way.

[@elijahmcstotts2871]

My first and only bike - so far - is an 06 C50. I inherited it from a mentor and close friend, so i freely admit my bias, but i absolutely LOVE this bike after a year of riding. He had put a luggage rack and some bags on it - the latter of which vanished in the 3 years it was in storage, so once i got it running, i put a new pair on. They are on the smaller side, but i probably could have gone just a little bigger. But between those and a solid backpack, i rarely use my car anymore, even to get groceries. It's absolutely brilliant. And, being an older guy, I love the more classic cruiser look. I just got the brakes done in advance of my first true long-distance trip with it. Hopefully I feel the same after I get back!

[@aluisious]

I could get groceries on my Multistrada but I use my car. The only thing I do with the bike is get out of the city ASAP and have fun. Bikes are too dangerous to me to risk things like going to work or getting milk. If I'm going to die on a bike, at least I'll be doing something I wanted to do, instead of something I was obligated to do.

I have friends (a married couple) who have toured the lower 48 and a portion of Canada on a Kawasaki 900 Vulcan. They loved it. I know of others who have put a LOT of miles on a Yamaha Bolt. Thanks, Doodle and gal pals.

[@19Graywulf]

I have a HD FLHT 96cu, that's my 'serious bike', my everyday/local etc is a 2013 C50T. Everything you found is exactly how I feel about the wee suzook. It's easy in traffic, comfortable, has 'enough' power to be a distance ride, as long as you remember it is 'only' 50bhp and 60-70mph is it's comfortable touring speed. It's a off the highway bike, for exploring those quieter backroads and enjoying a relaxed ride. (BTW make sure you get the shaft greased up, they have a problem where Suzuki didn't grease them and the splines can wear). Other than, it's relaible, comfrotable, and yup, just like putting on a pair of slippers. If the C50 HAD to be my only bike, I would be 'ok' with that.

[@IvysHill]

Don't forget about the Kawasaki Vulcan, just picked up an '09 900 and it's a blast!

[@richardhorstketter6574]

I LOVE my '08 M50. It's my first cruiser, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but I just love it. It's a little different than the C50, it has footpegs instead of floorboards and a little different styling etc., but it's the same guts. I'd still like to upgrade to a Wing some day, but I'm not in a hurry. This baby is making me happy every time I roll out of the driveway.

[@sohailgani35]

Best bike ever Japanese manufactured. I have 2007, no issues just changing engine oil and gear oil frequently, never went to any mechanic for any issues, best road presence,road grip, best pickup, mine within seconds crosses 90 mph, great thing is it looks far bigger than 800cc, and there is no monogram for cc on bike, so mostly people take it as 1300 or 1400 cc, great reliable bike.

[@paulfrank8738]

A friend and I purchased C50s and decked them out as touring bikes for a road trip around the country back in 2013. We chose them after quite a bit of research because of their high reliability and longer wheel base (we pulled a trailer, and a long wheel base is good for that). The bike is so comfortable to ride that we would need to get fuel long before we felt like we needed a break from riding. We both got quick release windshields and saddle bags, so we could quickly revert to a more basic cruiser set up. We both still love those bikes so much we never intend to sell them.

[@almikelipscomb]

Curious about the trailer. I have a 2006 C-50.

[@paulfrank8738]

@@almikelipscomb What kind of information are you looking for?

[@thatchh1]

My former partner moved on from her Rebel 450 learner to a C50T. She loved it. We took a couple of long trips and it did everything well. Speaking of slippers, I had a Suzuki GSX1100G for many years which Cycle World described as a "roadgoing sofa". Some spring and shock upgrades transformed it into more of a 2 wheeled Lexus.

[@bobbybarnes408]

I sold my Goldwing SE back in the spring, currently looking for a smaller bike. The reason for selling was because of the weight, definitely gonna take this bike into consideration when I buy a new one.

[@benb6535]

If you want to stick with a Honda, check out a Shadow Aero 750

[@bobbybarnes408]

@benb6535 Right now I'm just looking at all possibilities,, trying to determine which bike will suit my needs for what I want to do. My last 3 bikes have been Goldwings. I enjoy cross country traveling. Just can't handle the long distances that I once did.

[@garyadkins9496]

​@bobbybarnes408 For what it's worth, I'm a newer rider, about a year and a half now, on a 2006 C50t. Touring was my goal going in, but I found on some test rides that a goldwing or electra-glide was too big a jump from the 250cc bikes that I rode during my MSF course. I've been very happy with my bike, and I have done several multi-thousand-mile road trips on it. Doodle's point about the saddlebags is something I agree with, so I added some tsuyaku hard saddlebags and a Viking tour pack on a Wompus rack. It still won't haul as much as a full bagger of course, but it has been enough for me, often supplemented by a large backpack strapped onto the back seat. I hope that helps. Happy hunting and riding.

[@dominiquedrozak3723]

check the kawas also

[@county_bear9509]

Personally, I'd look for a used C90T. 1500cc vs. your goldwing(assuming the 1800). Above 70, I'd imagine the c50 lacks passing power, especially by comparison of the gl.

[@AdventureHunter.]

I've had all sorts of bikes including a road king. When I borrowed a mates Boulevard for a weekend I was really surprised at how comfortable and nible it felt, while also feeling like a proper full size cruiser. They're so cheap on the used markets too!

[@goldenlira1]

I just got a 2010 Yamaha V strom 950 with 1,200 miles. Love it! Been riding for four years with 2012 Honda Phantom Shadow that had 1,750 miles. Keep up the great videos.

[@justchillinout2002]

Suzuki V Strom or Yamaha Tenere. I'm confused

[@aluisious]

I'm always puzzled how a 14 year old bike can have 1200 miles. Any bike I've bought had 600 miles by the end of the weekend. Otherwise, what's the point?

[@KimmoJaskari]

Sissybar bags are a staple for cruisers with bags. Kurakyn makes them, Saddlemen, there's a huge array of options. I kind of prefer those to a permanent top box, they're easy to toss on, they are securely mounted and when I get where I'm going, I grab the bag, grab my pannier liners that have been stuffed with my stuff at home and just walk away, unloading the bike in a literal 10 seconds.

[@guywolff]

Looking on line the 4.1 gallon tank gets a range of around 150 or 160 miles .. I would like to see a range of 190 to 210 miles for the long hauls .. I love the shaft drive for care . I have gone on trips with friends on this bike and they have all said how much they love the thing .. The seat needs to be replaced at 30 K miles ..Not a very big problem :) Thanks for the clip and glad you had a great time ..

[@RipperSB]

My first V-twin was a 2009 Suzuki Boulevard C50SE. In 2009 Canada, SE meant cast wheels, bags and windshield (no studs). Coming from a Honda Magna, this bike was a dream with its fuel injection and shaft drive giving it the smoothest ride. As you said, it is an outstanding commuter and I even started touring with it. It excelled at short trips but, after a couple of long distance tours, I decided to upgrade to a true touring bike that filled in the shortcomings of the Boulevard, like heated grips & seat; cruise control; and extra storage.

[@russwilson4]

I have an 06 CT50. It has fuel injection, drive shaft, gear indicator. Great Bike! The only thing I don't like is it does not have a main stand, and the bike has a sightglass to determine oil level. It's a team effort to check the oil.

[@garyadkins9496]

Right!?!? It's my first bike, so I wondered if my sight glass was broken somehow until I first saw it strapped upright on a trailer. Love the bike though!

[@russwilson4]

@garyadkins9496 the CT50 does every thing well. Great balance, handling, temperature runs cool. It's awesome

[@amerigo88]

I sit on the bike with it upright and then snap a photo of the oil sightglass with my phone to check it.

[@thebrhinocerous]

I ride an '07 Honda VTX 1300...I would put it up against almost any Harley made around that year. Yeah, it has a few chromed plastic pieces where Harley has metal, but it still has a single-pin crank and can sound comparable to a Harley, given the right exhaust (but it can't idle as low due to oil needs). But I tell ya, the reliability and quality of the parts that truly matter are hard to beat on the Honda. The VTXes are classified as large motorcycles, but mine has a wet weight of 630lbs, so it's not bad at all. And I love the twisties on mine...I scrape the pegs constantly in the foothils and mountains of the southern Sierra Nevada mountains. It's a great bike, and is actually pretty easy to learn on...but the 1800 version, probably not so much.

[@joshuacook3069]

I had a 2008, and I loved it! I took it through the MSF Sport bike course while getting my rider coach certs on Whidbey Island Wa. I wore the wear pegs off of the bottoms of the floorboards along with the mounts that they went into. Had to purchase entirely new floorboards later when the rubber insert flew off on I-5. Eventually outgrew it and moved up to an Indian Roadmaster. Loved the blueish/purplish iridescent paint on the bike. Keep the stories and rides coming Doodle!

The C50 was my first. Love it! Easy to ride and super comfy!

[@KurtisIsley]

I went from a 450cc bike to a C50T. I loved that bike! I rode it for a year before I moved up to a Goldwing. The bags and a wind sheild make long distance rides so much more enjoyable.

[@doylehenderson319]

The C50 is a great bike to start with.... It's good for short and LD rides. Back several years ago when I got back into riding I bought a used LC1500 (now it's a C90) and was a great bike!!! The only short comings was a small gas tank (4.5 gallons) and like many Asian bikes some issues with the electrical system but with the help of a great forum found on Delphi Forums can easily work around these issues. The LC stands for Lounge Chair.... and YES when you lean you will scrape floor boards. Thanks Doodle, be safe and Blessed!!!!

[@marcogmotorcycletipstrips5822]

Yes. The 800cc c50t boulevard is an awesome cruiser because of its lightweight easy to handle. It’s not an expensive motorcycle. I can also drive it aggressive through the twisties in NC mountains and it handles well. Yes it may not have all the bells a whistles, less things to fix. Drive safe Doodle.

[@jasonjulian1]

my father-in-law bought a C 90 in 2005, the first year for it. The 1500 cc version of the bike here without the touring package. With a brand new bike and it was the one that he put me on to learn how to ride motorcycle motorcycles. Took me out in the middle of nowhere on a country road with two giant drainage ditches on either side and said don’t crash it. Lol Well, that was about 20 years ago now and he still has that bike. He put a Mustang seat on it with a back rest but otherwise it’s fairly stock and we keep up on the maintenance. Good number of miles on it, and it still gets great gas mileage and runs like new. Chances are good. It’ll be my inheritance at some point. Just add it as one more bike in the stable, but it makes an excellent long distance touring bike. The C 90 has the fuel tank under the seat instead of in the usual spot, so the center of gravity is very low even though it weighs quite a bit more than the C 50 . but all in all at this point, a Suzuki Boulevard is an unsung hero of the metric cruiser world. A great way to get an excellent cruiser bike for not a lot of money on the used market these days.

[@billyboatner895]

[@charlesbond4413]

One other hint for my rider enjoyment. When entering a freeway, I accelerated to 70 in 4th, then shifted into 5th. It pretty much stopped me from searching for 6th. Also, at 70, it had plenty of guts to pass, at 80, not so much and if you are braver than I, downhill with a tail wind it will reach 100 indicated which is about 95 real.

[@dalehazelton-np2le]

A Suzuki Volusia 800 was my second bike. Loved it because of the low seat height and it was affordable and had enough power for two up riding. I sawa used ST1300 though and the Volusia went bye bye.

[@thespadestable]

Used to own a purchased new 2017 for 3 years. In my opinion, the best cruiser/touring bike for beginners who have no plans on going sport or adventure, and desire to gain confidence. I ended up changing out the stock seats for Mustangs, added highway bars (Lindby Customs), Kuryakyn foot pegs, Kuryakyn handgrips, Viking saddlebags, and a Tsukayu fairing. In those 3 years I'd logged 53k miles, and never had any mechanical problems except for clutch replacement at 27k miles. Traded it in in 2020 for a 2020 Kawasaki Vaquero. Traded it in due to interstate speeds buffering issues that the factory windshield and Tsukayu fairing couldn't solve, wanted cruise control, a 6th gear, AM/FM radio, a bit more road weight, a bit more beefer girth, and anti-locking brakes. Had I did mostly local non-interstate riding, I would've kept the Suzuki.

I learned the hard way a long time ago about riding very far from home on a bike with tube type tires. I wouldn't ride more than 50 miles from home on a bike with tube type tires. I have owned a lot of bikes (over 40) and I have had a LOT of flat tires. Mostly on bikes with tube type tires. And when you have a flat on a bike with tube type tires, it means a tow truck. I've only ever had 2 flats on bikes with tubeless tires, and both times, simply putting a bottle of Ride On in the tire and reinflated it solved the problem. I do carry a plug kit, just in case. I have also almost been killed a couple of times when a tube type tire blew out at high speed on the highway. When a tube gets punctured, it pops like a balloon, and goes flat instantly. Tubeless tires almost always lose air very slowly. I have found objects sticking in my tubeless tires while inspecting them at home, that had actually punctured the tire. Those objects had probably been in the tire for hundreds of miles. The same thing that punctured the tire sealed the puncture. That is not going to happen with tube type tires.

[@HikerDave57]

I've got a 2010 C-109R that I absolutely love, and daily here in Sydney Australia. Before that I had a '99 Intruder 1500 (C90) which I also used as a daily. The metric cruisers are hugely underrated, and do cop a bit of flack from the Harley die hards, but I don't care, cause I bought it for me, not them. Also, at about half the cost of an equivalent Harley (at least here in Oz), you have to make a really bad choice to buy one that won't at least match a Harley on just about any test you can think of. If I ever get to the point where I need to replace my bike, I'll just buy another Boulevard, cause for my money, there's not much better value bikes out there.

[@lubospetr934]

I have one in my garage and I have softail deluxe as well, c50 is bigger in every way, not only the engine displacement, so it could not be considered as small, it is much lighter, but it is bigger than most HD bagers, maybe bigger than all of them.... ;-). it is great bike, I mostly choose it rather than HD.... for all the reasons you have just said ;-). enjoy and be safe.

It is way too much bike for my neighbor in terms of size, weight, and maneuverability. I'm not saying that she couldn't grow into something like this but it's definitely NOT a beginner bike. I think it's something that every rider should work up to, just like you did. Also, the size of the bike doesn't really come across on video. Even your big Harley baggers don't look that huge on video compared to their in-person size. It's very wide across the tank and very beefy. I know because I had to help her pick it up when she dumped it next to my mailbox.

I still have my '97 Suzuki Marauder (the model which became the Boulevard), and it's a great little touring cruiser. It has its downsides, but depending on how you ride, it's a very comfortable bike with a few upgrades. That being said, with the long distance riding I do now, my 2017 Harley Davidson FLHTP Electraglide Police is a much better choice.

Harley wannabe? More like what a Harley should be. Realistically priced, and bulletproof reliability. 25 years of riding HD police motors as an officer and none have been as bulletproof and reliable as my two 07 Yamaha Royal Star Tour Deluxe and Royal Star Venture. I ride them all up and down the East Coast. That Suzuki is too small for my taste, the Royal Stars are much bigger with big bags for touring. The other thing that sold me, electronic cruise control is standard on my two Yamahas. The Suzuki has not cruise.

One question I have about the C50T is how does it do on a freeway @ 70+ mph? My first bike (at age 62) was a 1994 Suzuki Intruder 800 (805cc) and at 70 mph it sounded like it was about to spin it's guts out!

I bought a 2017 Suzuki Boulevard c50t two weeks ago and still learning how to riding. But it feels very comfortable. As a matter of fact, someone knows where can I buy the crash bar. Because I bought one in Amazon, but it didn’t fit well.

I have a 2017 C50 and I love it

[@robertcraft-pj2jp]

I ride a 2008 Honda Goldwing, I would put that bike in my garage as well. Beautiful tour bike. Best bike in my opinion between the three .

Well I’m not disliking metric cruisers the last few bikes I have had all have been metric from across the pond my BMWs 2003 R1200 CLc’s X2, and my recent purchase of my current Yamaha Roadliner 1900 which I gave 100 troy ounces of silver for. I was under the impression that it had ABS but through experience have determined that in fact this was not the case. Fortunately I had my witt’s about me and was able to quickly adjust my breaking technique to unlock the front tire and apply the rear brake to not become the new hood armament for that Mack Truck that I was moving towards.

Thank you….👍

I've talked to some Harley owners that were previous owners of japanese style cruisers like Hondas and Suzukis and like the CT50 in the video, all admitted they were great running bikes and cheaper to own. So why they switched over to Harley? The only thing I can come up with is they simply got bored with a perfect running bike and got seduced by the Harley brand name everyone else was riding. Its human nature to want to be part of a large group instead of being a loner.

I have always like the Volusia / C50. Would buy a C50T in a heart beat if they would get rid of the studs on the seat and saddle bags.

[@Whiskers74]

Just get the C50 then, cause they don't have the studs on the seat, then buy your own bags and screen. There's plenty of dress up parts out there for the boulevards, and some hop up parts too if you want a bit more poke.

My first cruiser was a c-50 great bike, if it only had a 6 speed or a taller 5th.

You should try the 2022 Vulcan S 650
