Hi All, New to the forum. Bought a new 2005 M50 May 31 of 2006. It now has just over 20,000 miles on the clock. Kind of an elder statesman; age 72, retired . . . there are advantages to being retired, money not being one of them. Do lots of long distance riding, California and all the western states, Key West, Fl, Northern Illinois, and heading for Nova Scotia this July. Very pleased with this bike, performance and comfort wise. Being a scant 5'6" tall (short?), the saddle height was a major factor in my choice.
