Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 2013, 2014
In 2014, the Black edition versions of the Suzuki cruisers were successfully migrated into the B.O.S.S. family, which featured models with sober, evil looks while retaining the classic cruiser character matched by top-end V-Twin performance.
The B.O.S.S. motorcycle, which stands for Blacked Out Special Suzuki, was delivered in a full black livery complemented by a few chromed elements left to shine in the moonlight. Some of those elements were the headlight housing rim, rocker covers, fuel tank cap, footboards, and both front and rear turn signal bullet-shaped cases.
The 2014 Suzuki Boulevard C90 B.O.S.S. was the first Suzuki Boulevard motorcycle that came as a blacked-out model, which featured 99 percent black elements such as the cast-aluminum wheels, frame, fork, fenders, engine and engine covers, fuel tank, and exhaust system.
In addition to the clean sober look and agile, comfortable performance, the bike also provided enough power with its 1,462cc four-stroke V-Twin liquid-cooled engine that featured Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) cylinder plating, which reduced friction and increased heat transfer.
The fuel-injected engine featured a dual spark plug system on each cylinder for better combustion and fuel efficiency and delivered an output power of 66 hp with a peak at 4,800 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) of torque available at 2,800 rpm. The 66 hp were sent to the rear wheel through a five-speed manual transmission and a low-maintenance shaft drive.
