****** This unit is located at Cycles 128****** At the heart of the M50 lies a 805cc V-twin engine, a liquid-cooled, four-stroke powerplant that strikes a perfect balance between power and usability. With 53 horsepower and 49 lb-ft of torque, the M50 offers enough grunt to keep experienced riders satisfied, while still being approachable for beginners who are ready to step up from smaller displacement bikes.

The engine has a good, solid pull throughout the rev range, making it especially fun for cruising on highways and winding through back roads. Low-end torque is strong, and the bike’s smooth power delivery means that it’s easy to handle, even at lower speeds or when navigating tight urban spaces. The V-twin engine has a satisfying rumble that adds to the cruiser experience but isn’t overly loud or aggressive.

Suzuki pairs the engine with a 5-speed gearbox that delivers smooth shifts, and the inclusion of a shaft drive system makes for a nearly maintenance-free ride, which is a nice touch for riders looking for something low-maintenance and hassle-free.

The 2008 M50 features a steel double-cradle frame that provides a solid foundation for the bike, giving it a stable feel, especially at higher speeds. The bike’s 64-inch wheelbase contributes to its comfort and cruising capability, and the 130/90 front tire and 170/80 rear tire offer a good balance between traction and stability.

The suspension system consists of a 41mm telescopic fork in the front and a dual shock rear setup, which provides a comfortable ride on most road surfaces. It’s not the plushest ride for rough, bumpy roads, but for typical cruising and city riding, the suspension soaks up most imperfections and delivers a smooth experience.

At 27. 6 inches, the seat height is relatively low, which makes the M50 very accessible for riders of shorter stature. The comfortable seat itself, combined with relaxed footpeg positioning, ensures you can enjoy long rides without excessive fatigue. The reach to the handlebars is quite natural, and the overall ergonomics make the bike well-suited for cruising over long distances or for short urban commutes.
