Who cares whatcha paid for it. At this point it's irrelevant. What is important is that you maitain it well and ride like am-fm and don't look back on your decision. Have fun and ride well!

www.trackntrail.net
Here in Mexico the price is 94,900 pesos, about $ 8,630 usd for the M50 black 2007 including tax. This is $ 2,500 more bucks than in USA, because they imported from there. There is only one Suzuki dealer in my state, so I cant check with others, but in the official site of Suzuki in Mexico, this is the MSRP
congrats

Congrats on the new bike!
Hope you get out and ride it!!
With the new bike comes enjoying getting the bugs off after every ride....don't forget because they have acid that will pit the chrome if you don't get it off after each ride.
Watch the tires like the other posts. Go gradual on the leans for a while.
Ride safe
New bike setup

Another important part of getting a new bike is getting it set up properly for your body structure/comfort.
BIKES ARE NOT SET UP TO FIT EVERYONE.
I finally had my handle bars adjusted after 1,200 miles and it made a huge difference in riding. Wish someonelse had told me this sooner. Also, make sure to get your mirrors adjusted properly so that you can see the cars to the sides of you just like behind you and your brake/clutch for comfort.
An hour of getting this right makes the riding much more enjoyable.

Congrats on the new bike, it'll serve you well. Great for everything from around town to long trips. Take it easy on the bike at first and practise practise practise.

yeah, the MSF needs to use low power bikes for risk lowering.
as for tips... just look where you want to go.
Actually, I think it's mostly cause they're way cheaper. Otherwise there would be a bunch of bigger bikes to try after the students get used to a smaller bike, so you can see the difference. Everything comes down to the almighty dollar.
