I had the suzuki volusia, now called the C50. It was a great bike and still is. the only liquid cooled suzuki cruiser. I upgraded to the 1600 vulcan last October. it is also a great bike with a bit more umph to it than the C50. liquid cooled bikes operate better than air cooled over all the ranges of ambient temperatures.
I tested the 2005 nomad today and it is even more impressive than my classic. now I want a nomad.
