The Suzuki M50 Lovers Club!

He doesn't really own one. he's pissed cuz he couldn't qualify for financing on one and doesn't own a bike. He's a troll poser.

What intrigued you to buy it in the first place? Didn't you test ride it? If it looked so cheap and handled soo bad, then I don't see how you picked this one out of every other bike in the world, or even suzuki's line of bikes... I'm sorry you hate your bike so much.

yeah well, I don't know what to believe. This isn't my place, in the middle of an argument between people, so I'm out...

real bikers make fun of all the plastic on the bike, it has plastic fenders, air cleaner and plastic engine valve covers, they also make fun of the M50 emblem on the side asking if that means its a 50cc, the painted black engine makes it look cheap, the plastic tank cover and the plastic fork neck cover looks bad when it gets scratched up, the LED tail light makes it look like a kids toy, the painted black wheels look cheap, the black smoke from the exhaust and the "CLUNK" noise it makes while shifting is embarressing, you have to sit on the gas tank to reach the handelbars, and the plastic cap ends on the handlebars always come loose or fall off, the mirrors are too small and not long enough stem to see behind you, the battery has no saftey restraint if you drop the bike, the left bottom anti freeze bottle cover gets scratched up with road dirt and rocks, the front fender isn't long enough to keep the front tire from spashing mud and rocks into ur radiator, the engine kill button is too sensitive when you move ur hand over it by mistake it kills the engine, the electric fuel pump makes too much noise, the chrome headlight cover acts like a mirror and blinds you when the sun hits it, the bike is unstable and the steering wobbles when u ride past 60 mph, there is excessive backlash in the shaft drive, the rear old fashioned shoe brake don't work, the rear suspension is too hard, the seat is too wide for skinny guys, the plastic air cleaner on the right side sticks out too far where ur leg is where you can only plant ur right foot on the outside edge of the footpeg, the footpegs are cheap, the kickstand is too short.

Plastic also makes it lighter and faster than most of their bikes. The plastic looks good nonetheless. Yeah, I'll admit the fork neck cover doesn't look the best when scratched up, but just use one key, problem solved. LED taillights are brighter than conventional bulbs, last longer, and are more energy efficient. I don't know if it's just me, but the painted black engine and wheels look good to most people I've talked to. Black smoke from the exhaust? Go to a REAL mechanic and stop pretending you are what you aren't. Sit on the gas tank to reach the handlebars? Are you like 5'2" or something? Most endcaps don't come off, maybe a little glue? Mirrors are just fine, and they look around me, which is quite an accomplishment on a bike. Safety restraint is also known as the seat, if it comes off, the safety restraint most likely would have failed too. Front fender is plenty long, I've heard quite a bit about it being too long actually. You must have an EXTREMELY sensitive kill switch, mine takes the full flip to kill it, and it takes just enough force to keep you from doing it accidentally. 60 MPH is nothing for most Volusias and M50s, maybe it's the rider in this case? Can't say I've ever felt excessive backlash from the shaft drive... The chrome is supposed to be bright and shiny. Wouldn't know about the fuel pump, mine is carbeurated and I haven't had any troubles. Drum brake can be adjusted, again by a REAL mechanic. Rear suspension is easy to adjust, if you know how to actually remove nuts, bolts, and screws... Never heard the "too wide" problem before, just the opposite. Yes, the air cleaner sticks out a bit, and it taps my knee, then I learned that I needed to have my leg in a different position, and it works perfectly now. Footpegs being cheap? They are metal with a rubber cover and a scraping tab, just like every other footpeg on the market. Kickstand is perfect on most of them... Anything else I can debunk for you?

Yes probably. First of all what he's hearing isn't the Fuel Injectors...he's hearing the radiator fan at low speed. The only time you'll ever hear the EFI system...is witht he motor off and not moving, that's when you start up and EFI does it's checks. Otherwise the engine and road noise drown it out entirely.

He complains about the looks, but he bought it. Says "real bikers" but apparently WE ARE NOT REAL BIKERS. And Plastic makes a bike not good...so no MotoGP bikes are any good, apparently.

I like it though, because I really like my bike, it's fun to see how many of us can so easily defend it

This is *NOT* the M50 haters club. You are effectively running into the room and saying "WHATEVER YOU PEOPLE LIKE IS WRONG!" and then sh*itting yourself all over the floor.

Please. Stop.
