SUZUKI Boulevard C50 (2005-2006) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2006, Suzuki launched the Boulevard C50, a cruiser motorcycle in its second year under this name that featured modern technologies under its fancy bodywork with deeply valanced fenders. It featured a sizzling hot mixture of retro styling and modern cues backed by a reliable middleweight v-twin engine fed through a GSX-R-derived injection system for crisp throttle control and maximum enjoyment.

The bike was assembled on a cradle-type steel frame with color-matched side covers and featured a wide seat with a removable passenger seat, wide handlebars, forward-mounted floorboards and foot controls for more comfort, and a powerful headlight that was switched off during start-up for reduced load on the battery.

On the front, the bike packed a chrome-plated telescopic fork and a seven-way preload adjustable link-type single shock on the rear as suspension, while the braking power was provided by a single 300 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the front and a 180 mm drum unit on the rear.

In the power department, the 2006 Suzuki Boulevard C50 packed an 805cc engine with Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection for smooth low-mid throttle response and high torque output.

The four-stroke V-Twin liquid-cooled engine, with a 32-bit ECM, delivered an output power of 45 hp at 4,000 rpm and 62 Nm (46 lb-ft) of torque available at 4,000 rpm. The custom-styled exhaust system was tuned for low rpm power and designed to deliver a deep rumbling sound, and the drive shaft was low maintenance.
