I'm looking into buying a Suzuki Boulevard M50 full black, anyone had any experience with them or the earlier evolutions of it and can give me some feedback?

They just renamed them this year, I think; what was the name of that model before?

I've run out of things to say now, so if you have read this whole thing, congratulations you get a gold star!
