Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 2013, 2014
In 2014, Suzuki launched the Boulevard C50T, a touring version of the base C50 model, which in the cruiser world was considered a small tourer due to its 805cc engine, but Suzuki left a good impression with its bike-making skills.
The small Boulevard featured polished rims, retro wire-spoked wheels dressed in whitewall tires, and plenty of chrome in all the right places, such as the engine covers, switching gear, rocker and air intake covers, exhausts, and headlight case.
The bulbous tank accommodated the instrument cluster on top, which included a gear position indicator, a large fuel meter, and a clock always on display and painted with the same two-tone color scheme as the deeply-valenced fenders.
The 2014 Suzuki Boulevard C50T was a touring-ready machine that also came equipped with a height-adjustable windscreen for better comfort and full weather protection, leather saddlebags, and a padded pivoting passenger backrest with all the leather elements adorned with shiny metal studs.
In the power department, the 805cc narrow engine featured a Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system that delivered crisp low-mid rpm throttle response. Also, the four-stroke V-Twin liquid-cooled engine was tuned for strong low rpm power and torque, with output figures such as 52 hp at 6,000 rpm and 69 Nm (51 lb-ft) of torque at 3,200 rpm.
