Nope. That's the 2006 Mean Streak.

Here's the 900 Classic:

I own an M50 ,,,,its uncomfortable,,,, that low seat with the straight handlebars you have to stretch ur whole body to ride it, and it has good acceleration from a stop but its not fast. The M50 is a cheap made bike, Suzuki cuts all the cost on materials when they made it, plastic valve covers cheap IRC tires, cheap single front disc brake caliper, old fashioned rear shoe brakes that never work, the LED tail light is dim, nobody sees ur brake lights, the kickstand is too weak to hold the bike, the gas cap doesn't seal and there is a constant smell of gas, the cheap foot pegs and brake pegs, the plastic rear engine covers scratch from the rocks the front fender is too small that doesnt protect the raidator from the rocks and mud, the seat is too soft and uncomfortable, handling is rough, this bike takes a lot of work and skill to ride, it very unforgiving if for one second you take ur eyes off the road, you don't steer this bike, you have to physicially fight and push on the handlebars to steer it, ur body weight doesn't affect the handling of the bike, its a tough bike to ride, its horrible on any ride non stop over 50 miles.

Other than the little accesories(backrest, saddlebags, windshield), what are the major differences between the C50T and the M50?

Andrew, please ignore this troll. He's the idjit who bought a bike that doesn't fit him.

Geoff, his opinion definetely seems to be the minority one. Not everybody will like every bike...

He likes ATVing, but he hangs around on a motorcycle forum.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.
