Just thought I'd share my other bike. Its a 2006 Suzuki m50.  Love they bike, took it on a 1800mile round trip this fall before parking it. Im getting anxious to see how the nighthawk compares when I get that up and running.  |

I like the black wheels. You know didn't notice them when i bought it. It was kind of an impulse buy, but I think that's one of the things that drew this one out of the crowd of harleys. this is my first baby im goin to take good care of her starting by restoring her
Looks like you have a nice start to it. It's looking strikingly similar to my 550 which is also sitting seatless and tankless. Good luck with the resto should be a good winter project |

Yeah, that M50 is one of my favorite cruisers. the riding position isn't quite as stretched out as a lot of cruisers out there.

Nice bike. I have always liked the suzuki cruisers, particularly the maruader and now the m50. Any shots from the other side to show off the swingarm? I like how it looks like a hardtail. Nice color too bud. |

Its actually just primer, right now... But ya i was thinking it would look nice with a nice metallic white. Can't say I have seen too many cruisers in that color either.
