Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 2005, 2006
In 2006, Suzuki launched the Boulevard C90, a classic cruiser representation and a bike that took a big step into the realm of big-bore machines with its classic designs complemented by modern touches.
At a first sight, the bike looked heavy with its cast aluminum wheels and beefy tires, but the V-Twin engine had plenty of grunt that pushed the bike with no effort whatsoever.
The 1,475cc engine featured a GSX-R-derived fuel injection with the Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve system that delivered smooth low-mid rpm throttle response, high torque output, and a 32-bit Electronic Control Module (ECM) that ensured quick start-up and excellent driveability under all conditions. In addition, the bike featured Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) cylinder plating that minimized cylinder size and weight, improved heat dissipation, and offered more durability to the cylinders.
The exhaust system was tuned for low torque delivery and offered a deep rumbling noise that came out from the slash-cut mufflers. Also, it featured a Pulsed-secondary air injection system that introduced air in the exhaust port to ignite the unburned fuel for reduced emissions.
The 2006 Suzuki Boulevard C90 featured a double cradle steel frame made of large diameter steel tubes that provided strength, rigidity, and a 1,700 mm wheelbase, but also delivered a comfortable low-sitting position and wide handlebars.
In addition, Suzuki made available some optional features, such as the engine guards, windshield, light bar, custom seats, and billet aluminum items.
