Congratulations. The C-50 is a wonderful ride. Not super heavy but big enough to ride anywhere in comfort. I test rode one a while back and almost bought one. You will like the power delivery of the V-twin and the no nonsense fuel injection.
We will definitely want a riding impression report after you have a few hours in the saddle. hint hint.

Congrats on the new ride. :)

Nice ride. But the needed advice is -- take it easy 'till you get used to the increased power and weight, etc, etc. And hang around here but also check out http://www.motorcycleforums.net/forum/ and go to the Suzuki section for more specific advice for your bike.

Don't worry I'll be taking it easy for a while..It seems like a monster compared to the GZ.
And I will check out that web site.. Thanks

The bike is bigger and heavier. If you don't mind a word of advice and concern. You will likely drop it eventually. Lynda had some real nice crash bars on her M-50. They will also fit your C-50. Check out MC Enterprises.

Congrats on a new bike! All written above is true; much heavier, watch out for the drops of bike, especially when starting driving from a stop, right corner and uphill (to much throttle and a bit to quick clutch release)... Get being familiar with clutch, throttle and weight. When you drive you don't notice the weight, it's the small leans on stops that might fool you... I almost dropped mine, it's way heavier than GZ and starting to train martial arts in the fall really got me more alerted and strong...

Moved up to a Bonne Black, more power, fuel injection, 52 MPG, 100 pounds heavier, love it, but still enjoy the lightness of my GZ on goat roads, plus the 75 MPG. Glad I keep both bikes, for different riding conditions,. They are both different bikes for different roads, enjoy your new toy, hope you kept your old toy!

Thanks Water Warrior..I have been looking into crash bars.Some people tell me that some will be in the way of the oil filter when changing oil. Did you incounter that problem? If not what make were your crash bars?

Just want to say thanks to all your input. Very slow and steady for the first while. don't have to worry about that.
And New GZ toy: I coul'nt keep both. Had to trade my GZ in.. It was hard to do cause I loved that bike. But wife said only one.

Only one wife? You can have 2 bikes if you want. How many pairs of shoes does she have? OK, I don't want to start any trouble.

Go to that other website I showed you and ask about specific questions on your bike in the Suzuki section, like for fit of engine guard/crash bars, etc.
MC Enterprises makes a real nice guard, and their site will give you the proper model to fit your bike.

Lynda's M-50 had the #1000-24 crashbars from MC Enterprises. No oil filter access problem.

This is a must see site. They have stuff for the GZ too.

Congrats on the new bike. :2tup: Damn it, now you made me :drool: again and I had just convinced myself a bigger bike was a waste of money. Gee Thanks :lol: :lol: :lol:
That is a beautiful bike - and yes I'll be going to look at the C50 and the Honda Shadow Aero tomorrow :roll: Wonder if I can trade my bike in??

Sweet, good luck, have fun and be safe.

The Honda is very bland and vanilla flavored compared to the C-50.

Hi everybody.
Just want to say I'm really enjoying my new ride. I almost put 6000km on it so far. It's so nice to ride. No close calls and no drops yet.( and I hope not to have any) But I still miss the GZ. Wish I was able to keep it but the wife said only one. This winter I'm putting on crash bars and a light bar..
Later all my GZ friends. Ride safe

Thanks for the update. I knew you would like the C-50 a bunch.
