I got my new C50 2 weeks ago, and love it! I was plesantly surprised at the power. I thought that it would be way less than my 900, but really it feels like more in a way. My 900 has more tork, but the C50 feels peppyer. It is almost 100 pounds lighter, if all extras are considered. I love both of my bikes, and am happy with my choices in bikes.
If anyone reading this post has either a VN 900 or a C50 please let me know how you like them. I would also like to know what you are getting for gas milage on the c50.
So far I am getting 58 MPG on my 900, and 50 MPG on my c50.
Thanks,
Amy
New Suzuki C50!

Hi! I also have the VN 2006 900 Classic and I love it! I am getting some Vance & Hines pipes put on it along with a new air filter and power commander. I am doing this because I like the sound of the Vance & Hines pipes and will be getting a little more at the top end for our long distance trips we do. So, I am pretty excited about that.
I have cut the original windshield down as it was too hard to see through it in the rain, (I am 5' 3" and could not see over the top.)
I also have a sheepskin "butt pad" for our longer rides which is great. I have a riser on the handlebars to bring them back closer to me, highway bars and pegs. Gettin' her the way I want her to be.
I plan on keeping it for quite a while. Sounds like your new one is pretty nice, too! 100 lbs less, huh? Cool, that ALWAYS helps!
On a side note, I went and looked up the C50, pretty bike! But, what size engine, "cc" wise does that end up being, do you know??
