The Virago is not my new bike. Today I just bought a brand new Suzuki C50. I have pictures in my album if you go to my profile you should be able to see them. The Virago I bought back in Feb when I first started to ride. It's a great bike and have never had an ounce of probs with it. As I am still on my R licence I will be holding onto it for few months longer so I can go and get my full. Even then I think I may keep it.... hard to get rid of my very first bike...

Now that sounds like a very good idea. Solly went down to Clutha for a ride today.... it's the best day (weekend day) we have had in a loooong time.

Nice! Always good to hear new freedom machines are popping up in people's possessions!
And yessiree bob, I like the cut of your jib to seriously consider keeping your first bike! That way you never have any regrets!

Well, for a completely unbiased opinion,I have to say I rather approve of your choice...
It looks nice, even in the two-tone white apart from being a bit bare of extras at the mo. Planning any additions?
We've had our C50T for 18mths and I am commuting to work on it now and loving it! The pipes are a bit quiet at first, but if you're patient, as the miles clock up they seem to take on a pleasant "bark" and mine sounds great with nearly 7,000km up! And before anyone decries me for only less than 7,000km in 18mths, I was unwell for a long time and can only now begin to really get out and ride a lot more.

I intend on getting a windsheild and sissy bar and rack. I need to have these by Feb when we do our South Island road trip.... gotta bit of time though. Cant understand how they can justify the price on those extras!!

Yeah that's why the 'T' was such good value! Only extras I added were the excellent VA lowers which stopped the helmet buffetting. A windshield can cause buffetting due to the airflow curling up under the screen. You can check this by riding with your left hand and forearm held horizontally across your front where you'll feel the wind coming up. The lowers deflect the wind past your knees.I intend on getting a windsheild and sissy bar and rack. I need to have these by Feb when we do our South Island road trip.... gotta bit of time though.

Check out Value Accessories site in the US. I got the lowers delivered to my door in four days and the price was very good.
Suzuki added the Kentucky Drive saddle bags, the Givi backrest and I think the Mephis Shades screen for the NZ bikes. All good quality gear.
