These high gas prices have given me the final excuse to buy a motorcycle. I've always wanted one.

This is a 2005 Suzuki C50 Boulevard- 50 cubic inch (800+cc), fuel injected, true dual exhaust, 5 speed, shaft drive, 543 pound cruiser.

The EPA doesn't rate fuel mileage on motorcycles, yet, so mpg estimates are pieced together largely by rider reports. They are reporting 45-55 mpg on this bike.

I took an MSF rider course and got my M before buying this bike. So far, I've put 50 miles on it and gotten up to 60 mph. It will go faster. Once my armored jacket comes in, the truck is going into semi-retirement because the bike will be my daily driver.

Gotta love it. Saving gas and getting to wear a helmet and armored clothes.
