    2007 Boulevard M50? or 2007 Shadow VT750c?

    I have been looking to get back onto two wheels again and have narrowed it down to these two.
    Any reviews any one can share on either of these bikes will be appreciated.

    M50 beats the VT750 hands down, in all areas of performance. This is an observation from riding both.

    Reviews are easy to come by.

    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    After about two days you will be sick of the Shadow's lack of vroom. The extra 50cc that the Suzuki has makes a big difference. As does its lack of spokes.

    I did read that the Shadow lack vroom on the open road. And not keen on cleaning too many spokes.

    Take the new Vulcan 900 out for a fang as well. The custom model, without spokes...

    Agree! However the Honda and the M50 are really two completely different bikes and serve two different roles. For performance the M50 hands down, no contest, the Honda is a relaxed cruiser.

    Yeah I reckon the suzuki is the way to go, very nice ride those M50's

    If you want performance - M50 (RRP is $12,995)
    If you want good looks and you ain't in a hurry - VT750 (RRP is $11,495)

    As for the Kawasaki 900 - Don't know much about it except RRP is $13,750

    I'm with Hitcher on this one. Don't make the final decision until you check out the Kawasaki VN900. It's been getting rave reviews. I personally prefer the Classic.

    Yep, check out the VN900 before deciding.

    The Custom and the Classic are two completely different style of bikes. Reviews and Specs below:

    Have you decided on one Yet?

    80% of people that have riden both the Shadow and the M50 come back to buy the Suzuki.
    The other 20% were just tyre kickers...

    We have some Blue new 2006 M50 stock at a reduced price if you like.

    Not interested in the Shadow after reading reviews. Great bike the shadow, but not for me. Looking at the the Suzuki 07 model 4 next month when i get my driveway finished so I can garage the bike.
