Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 2007, 2008
When Suzuki introduced the 2008 model year line-up, of course, a touring version of the 2008 model year Suzuki Boulevard C50 could not miss from the line-up.
The Japanese manufacturer used the base version of the M50 and delivered a neat bike, ready to go the extra mile straight from the box, sporting the acclaimed road-going features of the series and introducing the bolt-on convenience of the travel-focused accessories.
The 2008 Boulevard C50T left the bling aside and added the bare necessities for those who liked to travel, such as a tall, removable windscreen that offered solid weather protection to the rider, which made longer hauls less exhausting, while the passenger comfort was taken to the next level with the tall, padded backrest.
The bike received leather saddlebags for extra storage, which shared the styling option of the seats, sported by shiny metal studs for a more traditional look. As a final touch of classy design, Suzuki replaced the traditional tires with whitewalls tires that matched the exquisite two-tone and pinstripe scheme.
In the power department, the 2008 Suzuki Boulevard C50T took its thrust from the same 805cc four-stroke V-Twin liquid-cooled engine that powered the base version and delivered an output power of 50 hp at 6,500 rpm and 65 Nm (48 lb-ft) of torque at 5,000 rpm.
