hei guys...quick update...
just got me a gravel rashed wee c50 proudly built by a japanese robot from mostly recycled tuperware containers and a little steel thrown in...
very different geometric thingees from the viagra...but loving it so far...bit of a ride to opotiki next weekend so it'll be a good op to sus her out...
commuting is okay...but a bit confused as to what gear she likes at at what speeds...50 km doesn't seem to have a gear but 60 she settles...great...
any other c50 riders got any advice or stories to share?

One of the guys at work has a C50, reliable motor, fairly grunty, does a fair amount of K's on it 2 up.... BUT, the achilles heel, which happened on the Forgotten World highway bout 4 km from Whangamamona (of course it HAD to ) Came to a dead stop!
The stator is a weak link, his was burnt out... as there was another similar bike we just kept swapping batteries, back to Wellington. Myself and Vicki rode ahead into Tauramanui and spoke to the guy in the Suzook dealer, as soon as we told him, he said "Stator gone/burnt out", (they've done a 'couple' of them). He was 100% correct when it went into the shopin Welly, think it cost about $300+ for a new one.

cool thanx for that...I'll keep my eye on it...any ideas on the k's your m8s one had done before then?
uncle seems pretty grunty for an 8hundy...trip to opotiki on the weekend and she had no probs keeping up with the big blocks...I did but I'm sure she would've happily sat at 140-50 odd all day long if it weren't for my desire to keep my licence...she seems too handle the corners and crap roads well...but then it's a more modern suspension set up than the ole viagra...

Yeh ridden properly, the 800's can keep pace cruising with the big blocks,,, I dont think there is much more than 10-15kph difference in top speed, It'd be two -up with luggage you'd really notice the difference. A learner has a Yam (Star)650 which gets along quite well, but you can hear it is revving a bit more than the 'big blocks'.
Now what I'd love to have a ride on, is the C109, I think it is one of the few bikes that would tempt me/replace the MT-01 in the future! I'm actually not a fan of the riding position of the M109.

ohhhh yeah the 109 are pretty cool...serious grunt from what I've seen...I could b tempted myself but on the budget we usually have it'd have to wait till there all about 20 years old and slapping like an old hooker looking for a quick buck...
for now I need to flick the viagra and keep this one humming for a few years...buuuuut I do need to tweek the bars somewhat...after 300 k my left shoulder hurts like a bastard...spent almost a year getting the viagra just right...also need to fill the po's dings in the tank and paint her up rattle can styles...apart from that and make me a more contoured seat with cool as skirt I'm happy....
