2005 Suzuki Boulevard c50 - 1st Ride Part 1 

Haha! So true! I thought the same thing! 😆 Honestly though...it's an awesome bike and I would love to get my own!

@@rideon365 My 2009 i got for $2100 two months ago, and it passed inspection $20. I put on new tires for $300. Insurance $200 for one year, registration $50. I am very happy..

@@joeanon5788 Congrats man! The ride down the open roads are even sweeter knowing you got a steal of a deal!

Thanks for the comment Tracey! I love the Boulevard bikes too! Such a well rounded and comfortable motorcycle!

Both bikes have their advantages. I liked the smooth shifting on the v-star (which is weird because I believe both are wet plate clutches) but I liked the extra power on the c50. If I were to buy one right now, I'd go with the c50! It has plenty of power and has a very comfortable ride. I changed the oil on a c50 and then changed the oil on a Yamaha V-star and really liked how much easier and convenient it was to change the oil on the c50. Being able to just unscrew the filter off the bike was WAY more convenient than removing 6 screws and 2 plates that it took to get to the v-stars oil filter. Whoever the engineer was that put the oil filter in the ridiculous position on the v-star needs a slap to the face! :)

@@rideon365 im guessing thats the yamaha 650?? And yeah the 1100 yamaha u have to take exhaust on to change oil lol!! But the c50 has some annoying things as well. The motor can be a little ticky sounding and to do a coolant change you need to take the gas tank off. But it has decent power and is good for long rides ! I love it !

@@apexsquad5078 Yeah, it was on the 650. That's crazy on the 1100 that the exhaust has to be taken off. That's ridiculous!

Yes, for sure! I'm impressed with the c50 as it's a very comfortable bike with plenty of power...not to mention it looks and sounds awesome! Changing the oil on the bike is very easy too. That's one thing I really like about the c50 vs the v-star.

@@rideon365 Thanks for the recommendation, nice bike your c50

Yes, the 2005 Suzuki Boulevard c50 is liquid cooled however the 2007 Yamaha V star 650 is air cooled.

lol funny because that’s a Suzuki

Who needs to downshift? Just drop a gear and rip it!!! 😆

Thanks Elly! It's in Cache Valley in Northern Utah.

Appreciate the feedback brother! I've been down on asphalt, dirt and concrete so I understand the consequences of no gear (or poor quality gear!). You won't see me without proper shoes, pants gloves and a good jacket....except in this video! ;) Ride on brother and enjoy the open roads! - James

A perfect example of my excellent shifting skills! Thank you for the reminder! 😆

You're probably right. The bike was at around 19,000 miles when this video was filmed which was also when my nephew had purchased the bike. I don't think it had ever had a valve adjustment previously.

What makes you say that?
