I can't decide between the M50 and the C50. Is there any significant difference in handling, ride, or manueverability? I'm 6'1" with a 32" inseam and weight is 190 lbs; Would one bike fit me better or be more comfortable than the other. Thanks for your help.

They are basically the same bike with different sheet metal, seats, and front ends, so choose on style and which ever one feels more comfortable to you. The M50 is slightly lighter so it is slightly faster, though neither will ever be confused with a performance cruiser. Personally, I think the C50 is infinately better looking, but that's just me.
 
different seats, that could be a big factor.

you may need to sit on each seat a good 15 minutes to figure out which one is more comfortable.
 
Atlas68 rides an 05 M50, I could not find a picture with the tow rope hooked up to his bike!!!

:grin:

The only time I remember him being in the lead was the time I let him ride my C50.

:whistle:


So just email Darren (Atlas68) I am sure he will be happy to agree!!!!

:bluethum:
 
:welcomes: I like the muscular lines of the M, I love the looks tenfold over the C! We could get into it about whos is better (mine is... no mine is.... ohh but ours is!)......It all boils down to personal prefrence! ;) Go sit on them and see which you perfer!
 
My brother in law has the C50. Things I don't wouldn't like about the C, is that the speedometer on the gas tank. Eyes go to low to view it. Spoked rims, foot boards. The M50 is a modern power cruiser design, the C50 is legacy design. I like modern designs more.
 
Personally i like the style of the C50 ONLY because of the rear fender. Other then that the M50 beats the C50 10 fold. and i will beat any of you C50's in a race ;-) oh and if your interested, after your comfortable with your bike the M50 can totally do a wheelie. I have even 12 O'clocked mine (scared the crap outta me the first time, thought i was gonna go over backwards)

Anyways your profile says you got the M50 so good choice. Your gonna love it!
 
ha, i cant get mine to burn out. not enough front weight i think. i have held my front break and sat on my tank and no luck lol. i think i'd rather burn out then wheelie lol but oh well.
 
ya i never burned out and mine started showing thread at about 5, i dont remember what i put on it and my girl is yelling at me to get off the comp cause we gotta go do some crap (its only 7am here!). Freakin women! lol.
 
Well, to be honest, if my choice was between the C50 and M50, I'd opt for the definitely faster and more stylish S50. :lol4:

I've got two friends locally with the C50 & M50...and have put them both to shame (as I should) speedwise. The one that had the C50 also has a Busa. He finally gave up on the C50 and sold it. :)
