I'm not a fan of the sports bike influence in this design.

The 109 is one of the few big cruisers I'd want to ride. They look a lot better in black, especially the M109RZ.

Don't know about Sports Bike influence, I think they drew more from nature...

I'd have to agree, not a fan of the way that looks

I've got a 2007 M50 with the bat wing rear fender and I love it.

I hate the look of the new M50 and wouldn't touch one with a barge pole.

Yeah, difference is that you can't ride a bike with your eyes closed...

Or the lights off, or with paper bags . . . . this could go on for ages

I've got mixed feelings about the Boulevard M.

The older model had such a tiny pillian seat but classic cruiser looks - especially the headlight and instrument cluster. The new bike has a better pillian seat and rear mudguard, but don't like the anteater cover over the headlight.

If, and that's a big "if I won a $20 million Powerball" if, I'd probably look at an M50, though I'd prefer an older model such as a 2008 or 2009. It:

Is in the capacity range I'd be looking at - 700 to 900 cc
Vee twin (gotta have that vee twin rumble)
Alloy wheels
Shaft drive (or belt drive second best) - I've had my time with chains, I like the look of the Triumph America except that its chain drive.
Cruiser style
Foot pegs, not plates
Large tank, 300 + or ++ range on a tank
Rear mudguards, I don't mind the high line rear mudguard on the older M50. I just hate the mudguards on the C50, I would want to hack off that ducks arse bottom on the rear mudguard just below the taillight on a C50, but you'd probably have to reinforce the mudguard if you did that.

Now if there was some way to fit the older headlight to the newer model M50 .....
