Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 2005, 2006
The Special Edition motorcycles were almost a fetish for the Japanese manufacturer, so Suzuki launched the 2006 Boulevard C90 Black, a special version of the base C90 model. While the standard motorcycle came in a Silver or Dark Purple livery, the Black version came in glossy black color, dedicated to those riders who preferred the sober elegance of dark liveries.
The V-Twin powered Black version featured large amounts of torque available in any gear, while it offered a spacious and comfortable riding style due to its long 1,700 mm wheelbase with a rake angle set-ut designed for a low seating position and its wide handlebar and seat.
The double-cradle steel frame was made from large-diameter steel tubes that offered strength and rigidity, while the suspension was provided by a 41 mm fork on the front and a swingarm linked to a hidden preload adjustable shock absorber on the rear.
In the performance department, the 2006 Suzuki Boulevard C90 Black took its power from a 1,462cc four-stroke V-Twin air/oil-cooled engine fed by a GSX-R-derived fuel injection system that delivered smooth throttle response and high torque output.
The V-Twin Black version delivered an output power of 66 hp at 4,800 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) of torque at 2,800 rpm. The burnt gasses were directed through a right-side-mounted exhaust system with slash-cut mufflers designed for low-rpm power and a deep, throaty V-Twin sound.
