Is yours that yellow/gold and black one? It looks nice! You often pass my C50T.

Yip, that's me mate, always late, always in a rush...lol

Ahah! Did you upgrade the Volusia you had? That was a nice bike too.

Don't have to be in too much rush to pass me when splitting... Everyone does including the Taka Bike Cop!

Nah, didn't upgrade, more like written off, all cosmetics shit mind you, but yeah the M50, although not a better bike, is a more fun bike to ride....but I still miss my Volusia

You'd have to be on a GoldWing or something before splitting becomes a real issue...

"Something"? Why, yes.

I'm a reluctant splitter on my bike, fortunately the traffic down here doesn't really require it.

i lknow where you are coming from, but still unsure if a test ride would be enough..would probably take a couple of weeks to get used to it...anything would be awesome after a 250

Anyone purchased an 800cc and regretted not having more power a couple of months down the track?

Never regreated it I went from a GN250(oops thats right I admit it) to the C50 and it has been fantastic would never think it wasnt enough. Wife and I get on it all the time and it travels great.

Plenty of power in an 800 to rocket passed 100k's an hour, 100k's is the speed limit though....cheers

MMmmm! I'd never take a car to work unless I absolutely have to!

Yeah, you had that old Vol looking and sounding great! How long before you put louder pipes on the M50?

Mate .... I've had a C50 for just a short time, but don't find it to be to small, or gutless. It depends on how you want to ride I guess, but that 805cc motor can move along nicely! (I've owned bigger bikes in the past, and have no desire to ride a slug!)
The M50 handlebar width would fit better for your purpose I would think ..... but if you need the extra power .... the M90 may be your machine. I haven't ridden an M90 so can't comment on the ability to filter on one.

Good bikes the Boulevards IMO .... good bang for your buck!!
Good luck in your decision. As has already been said by James and others ... You do need to get out and ride them to know whats going to work for you though. We all have our opinions and favourites .....
