I HAD NOT RIDDEN A MC FOR 30 YEARS, OTHER THAN SEVERAL SHORT RIDES ON MY SONS HARLEY. DECIDED TO JUMP BACK IN AND ENDED UP WITH A 2005 C-90 | ||||||
| I AM 6´3´, 255LBS AND NEEDED A BIG CYCLE.I LOOKED AT THE C-90, SAT ON IT IN THE SHOW ROOM, AND IMMEDIATELY KNEW THIS WAS THE CYCLE I WOULD END UP PURCHASING, AND I DID. THIS PURCHASE WAS NOT HASTY AND I DID CHECK OUT ALL OF THE COMPETITION BUT FOUND THE SUZUKI TO BE THE BEST CYCLE FOR ME. I PURCHASED LATE IN THE YEAR (OCT) FOR THE NORTHEAST AND HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR THREE WEEKS, WITH VERY FEW GOOD WEATHER DAYS. I HAVE MANAGED TO PUT APPROX. 350 MILES ON THE CYCLE, MOSTLY ON EXTREMELY BLUSTERY DAYS AND FOUND IT TO BE STABLE, EASY TO RIDE, POWERFUL, AND AN ALL AROUND EXCELLENT CYCLE TO RIDE AND ENJOY. ONLY COMPLAINTS ARE THAT THE EXHAUST IS TOO QUIET, CAN´T HEAR WHERE I AM AT IN THE RPM RANGE. WILL RECTIFY THAT BEFORE NEXT SUMMER, AND THE GAS TANK IS A LITTLE SMALL. I HAD HEARD COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE STOCK SEAT BUT I FIND IT TO BE JUST FINE, SO FAR. I ALSO WAS SUPRISED TO FIND THAT ACCESSORIES FROM SUZUKI ARE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN HARLEY ACCESSORIES. I AM RIDING THIS CYCLE AS OFTEN AS I CAN, DEPENDENT ON WEATHER CONDITIONS AND COULDN´T BE MORE PLEASED WITH MY PURCHASE. THIS IS A GREAT BIKE, EVEN FOR SOMEONE WHO HASN´T RIDDEN FOR 30 YEARS AND THEN MAKES IT HIS CHOICE OF BIKE WITH WHICH TO GET BACK IN THE SADDLE AND START RIDING AGAIN. SUZUKI, HAS DONE A GREAT JOB AND THE C-90 WILL NOT DISAPPOINT ANYONE. |
