2008 Suzuki boulevard c50 - New rider /SATX Sunday cruise
New rider here. Any riding advice is appreciated. Trying to improve every time I ride!
I'm also trying to find a mic that doesn't sound like I'm eating it every time I talk so until then enjoy raw GoPro audio.
Like and Sub :)

Sorry the audio is so quiet through most of this. Recorded a seperate audio file but it sounds like im eating the mic so this is just stock Gopro audio. I'm a new rider and am still learning the ropes!
Great ride .. i recently purched 2009 boulevard c50 se. I purchased to ride with my son , he has a yamaha r7.. i did all the research i could do on this particular bike and found it to be very reliable by others who have one..
Where in |Texas do you live?

About to close on an M50 and Im like a child on christmas.
I just got an M50. Needed a few things to get it started but finally did start it earlier tonight. How do you like it?
This is all very familiar to me. Throughout the video, I could see mistakes being made and thought to myself "Yep. I've done exactly that." I also bought a C50 as a neophyte. It is a great bike but big and difficult to maneuver at low speeds. I've since acquired an S40, the C50's single-cylinder little brother, and am hoping to use it to hone my skills on the smaller, more maneuverable bike a bit to make the riding experience on the C50 a bit better.
بہت خوبصورت
I have a 2009. I love it. Yes, above 65-70mph is frenetic. But most real nice cruising back roads are 65 and under, and also a bit twisty, which is way more fun. This bike is the king of that kind of riding or cruising. My next bike will probably be a M109. And I will keep the C50. I have 2 sons.
Good looking bikes but suzuki "really" needs to add a 6th Gear. (I sold mine for that reason) b Safe
Thanks for the video! Your skills seem to have improved a lot since the previous video. Smooth shifting, reasonable speeds and more accurate turning 😄
Nice to see this good long ride around 65 mph. Bike looks like handled it well. Right on enjoy your ride!
I just got the M50 an i'm having a hell of a time with slow turns feels so damn heavy.. and doing sharp 90 degree turns i feel like i need it to lean over so far to make the turn that it feels like its on the edge of falling over..
The M50's are real cool! honestly I slightly prefer the look and style of those but i just grabed what was available to me when i was ready to buy. I've definitly been taking some of my left hand turns a little wide for the same reasons stated above but i think its more of confidence thing for me. I think a bit more practice and counterbalancing may fix the issue! Is the M50 your first bike or have you had others in the past?
@@DunkyKung yeah I've definitely been going wide too was on the center line once or twice.. which is a oh shit that's not right moment.. M50 is my first bike.. probably a bit heavy for a first but, I had an opportunity to trade a project car which was the only real way I was gonna be able to afford it. And truthfully it is the bike I wanted.. so yeah I'm just gonna need to work on getting comfortable with turns. Feels like such a fine balance sometimes between falling and not
The M50 is about 50 lbs lighter and much more nimble. If you ride in a lot of traffic, the M50's the way to go. Longer back country rides or highway riding, the C50. Just my opinion though, I've had both bikes and love them equally! Both will be fine, just a matter of preference.
I am thinking of getting one of these as my next Bike ? Do you recommend it ?
Sooo the only bike I am able to compare it to is the small 250CC honda i had to ride in the MSF course. That being said I love it! its a big full size looking crusier thats not TOO heavy and seems to be quick enough for these texas roads. If you can find a good deal on one id say its def worth it.
@@DunkyKung Thanks for the Heads up . !
@@thetwogardens6048 I would echo Dunky, I have a 2009, and I love it, price wise, maintainence wise, reliability wise, cool factor -wise, but a lot of buffering above 70 mph. Great for country back roads, city screaming, v-twin girl magnet. Reliable, sexy fun powerful motorcycle. It will do 100mph, but I wouldn't. The real truth of the cycle.
Spring is the most dangerous time to ride. Drivers not used to looking for bikes, potholes-locally they spread pea gravel after patching like ball bearings. I scout roads before any night riding and leave lots of room from cars to dodge road hazards. Love my C50, can't wait for nice weather, I'm a cold weather whimp.
Yeah its about 70-80 dagrees in TX at the moment so its been about perfect weather! Where are you?
@@DunkyKung Illinois. 70 one day 28 the next. Almost gotta stay close to home it can turn cold that fast lol.
@@jeffw1246layers just like snowmobiling... because 45 feels like 25 at 50mph... even in summer I wear a jacket and hoodie for that reason and it's more slide protection and padding in case of. Fall
@@jeffw1246in spring and fall I will will 2 pants 3 sweaters lol then undress at my shop I ride my intruder 800 in 32 degree weather in March... also a neck gator and full face helmet is a must... long johns are key in northern US during colder months
53:00 Gave way to merging pickup 👍 I couldn't read your phone, but wondering how the tank speedo correlates with gps at highway speed? Check your driveshaft rear spline for grease ... search YT for the issue. Nice ride!
Thanks! yeah i figure its probably less dangerous if i let people go and merge where they need to. I also havent had to use my GPS yet since ive only been going on short trips. Ive also been curious if the gps app speed is accurate i will definitly be testing that soon.
That fed ex truck 🙀
He was coming for me !
looking good!
Not bad, man. While it's cold here, I watched the video in anticipation of the motoseason. An interesting city, as I understood it in Texas. Keep making new videos Regards, bro)
Thanks brotha!
First!
