SUZUKI Boulevard C50 (2010-2011) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2011, Suzuki launched the Boulevard C50, a motorcycle that combined the soul of a classic cruiser with the V-Twin performance, which gave the bike a charge at every twist of the throttle.

The classic design of the Boulevard C50 consisted of the flowing lines of its kicked-out front end, the pulled-back handlebars that complemented its teardrop fuel tank, the stepped seat, and the boldly valanced rear fender.

The classic style of the bike was matched by a comfortable, spacious seating position and by a powerplant engineered for pure performance with a strong low-mid range of torque available right above the idle.

In the power department, the bike featured an 805cc engine with the Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system for smooth throttle response and high torque output, a 32-bit Electronic Control Module (ECM) for excellent driveability under all conditions, a crankshaft designed for reduced engine vibrations, a low maintenance shaft drive, and a chromed exhaust system designed for a deep rumble noise and strong torque delivery.

The chassis consisted of a cradle-type steel frame with matched-color side covers, fenders, and fuel tank, along with other chrome-plated parts. On the front end of the frame, a telescopic fork with polished aluminum sliders and polished stainless-stell tube covers acted as a suspension while a swingarm bolted to a seven-way spring preload adjustable monoshock handled the rear section.

In the braking department, the 2011 Suzuki Boulevard C50 packed on a set of wire-spoked wheels, a 300 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the front, and a 180 mm drum unit on the rear.
