After months of review and research,I decided to go with Suzuki. I got the Blvd. S50/805cc. The local dealer had a red s50,but much preferred black. After 2 weeks he found a black one from another dealer. Turns out,according to the dealer,I have the only black '06 s50 in the entire state(Oklahoma).

So on 3-13, the dealer called and said your bike is in and being prepared and will be ready in a couple of days and on 3-15 I purchased the bike with a trade-in,my starter bike(04 virago 250) I checked KBB.com and resell value was $1745.00. So the dealer looks over my Virago and asks what I want for it and I tell him what I found @KBB and he then whips out of his back pocket a book called NAD(?) and he said the boss wants him to use the values in this book instead and quotes me $1500.00. He then sits down and tells me I'm one of their best customers,and says he'll give me $1800.00 for the trade-in.WOW! I couldn't turn that down.

So after the paper work was processed and fees totalled, the S50 had a sticker price of $6500.00,the final sale price was $4859.00. Not bad at all.
The bike is really powerful and very fast(of course I'm taking it easy and being careful) >My buddies who ride hardtails and Harley's are very impressed with my new ride. All in all,I'm very happy with my decision and enjoying a more comfortable ride :mrgreen:

Congrats on the new ride!

I'm actually considering the S50 for my first bike now. I've flipped through several choices from Moto Guzzi Nevada to Suzuki V-Strom to Honda VTX 750 and, most recently, the S50. Please let us know how you like it and, if possible, give me an idea on fuel mileage? I'd really appreciate it. I'm looking to buy sometime in the early summer months at this point.

Again, congratulations!
