<div class="message">I brought home my very low mileage 05 C50 with Lehman tramp yesterday...I read this entire thread before I bought it and felt there were enough positive comments that I had no fear of buying it for MY KIND OF RIDING...I ride solo, am 77 years old and will not be riding on extended trips due to wife's ailments and caring for her....my 75 mile ride home after buying the bike sold me on the fact that this is just the trike for me...plenty of power to get my 180 lbs down the road and it rides comfortably and steers easily...Oh, it has a nice top case so there is plenty of room for storage..<br /><br />
<br /><br />
I considered a magnificent 07 BMW 1200LT with a hannigan (I think) trike...the owner had just about $40k in it and would have sold it to me for $20K....13K miles...thing is, $20K is a lot of bucks even if it was a screaming good buy, but I am not in a position to take any extended trips, so 3-wheeled Caddie or not, it is a moot point..<br /><br />
<br /><br />
To each his or her own..Regards,<br /><br />

started with a c50 tramp---it was an excellent machine and we rode 2 up on some 500 mile days---

Great glad to hear u are out in the wind. I have. A 1500 gold wing. Unless I am pulling a trailer or riding 2 up I may use only 1/2 the power it has. 90% of the time I am just hauling that big motor around.

As i understand the C-50 is equivalent to my 03 Volusia 800. Bought mine in <br />
Dallas so i flew out from Fort Lauderdale and rode it back. Went up to Leesburg <br />
for the Bike rally and just came back from doing the Myrtle Beach Run. Am <br />
usually running 70 up to 75 on the freeway. Rode it 13 hours straight up and <br />
then 13 hours straight back. She can go 80 MPH but that's getting quite a bit <br />
of vibration at that speed but all in all she is quite nice. i had a Harley Triglide <br />
and have to say i actually like the Volusia better.Am getting 120 miles to the tank <br />
doing 70 MPH but when you crank it up faster then one starts to lose the gas<br />
milegae. i am 5'2" and 140 and it's a great size for me and light enough that <br />
reverse isn't needed.
