Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 2010, 2011
In 2011, Suzuki launched the Boulevard C50T, a classic-looking touring motorcycle that, like the C50 base model, was powered by the same V-Twin engine tuned for low-end torque, which delivered top-end performance.
In addition, the bike delivered a spacious riding position with smooth suspension and created maximum comfort with its custom features, such as the aerodynamic windshield, custom-made leather saddlebags, and well-padded backrest especially designed for passenger comfort.
The model featured a cradle-type steel frame with color-matched side covers, fenders, and a fuel tank, plus several chrome-plated elements added to the classic look. The wide comfortable seat was paired with a passenger seat, removable for a better appearance of the rear fender.
Wide and pulled-back handlebars plus forward-mounted floorboards and controls provided a more comfortable riding experience on city roads and at highway cruising speeds. On the front end, the bike featured a powerful multi-reflector headlight dressed in a chromed housing that was interrupted during start-up for a reduced load on the battery.
In the performance department, the 2011 Suzuki Boulevard C50T featured an 805cc four-stroke |V-Twin liquid-cooled engine tuned for low-mid torque and power guided by a 32-bit Electronic Control Module (ECM). It also featured a Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system with two spark plugs per cylinder with smooth low-mid throttle response, high torque output, better combustion, and lower emissions.
For a more classic style, the bike featured studded seats and wire-spoked wheels shod with white-wall tires.
