Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 2004, 2005
The Boulevard C90 was a cruiser motorcycle with a feet-forward riding posture made by Suzuki in 2005. Before 2005, the bike was marketed under the VL1500 Intruder name, and in 2005, Suzuki rebranded its line-up of cruisers as its Boulevard series.
In addition to the name, the Japanese manufacturer replaced the carburetors with a new fuel injection system borrowed from the Championship-winning GSX-R sports bikes, added a 32-bit Electronic Control Unit (ECU), and a revised tear drop-shaped fuel tank.
In 2005, Suzuki launched the Boulevard C90T, a touring version of the base model that came loaded with the most popular touring accessories as standard equipment, such as a custom-designed windshield that provided a classic style and full wind protection, and attractive studded seats with a matching touring-style pivoting backrest for enhanced comfort of the passenger.
Also, the bike featured a large white-faced speedometer, large capacity, textured leather saddlebags, and custom-styled machined cast-aluminum wheels dressed in white-wall tires.
In the performance department, the engine featured a GSX-R-derived fuel injection system and a Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) cylinder plating that reduced the piston's size and weight and improved heat transfer.
As for the power figures, the 2005 Suzuki Boulevard C90T delivered an output power of 66 hp at 4,800 rpm and 115 Nm ( 85 lb-ft) of torque at 2,800 rpm. The right-side-mounted chromed exhaust system featured slash-cut mufflers tuned for low rpm power and a deep rumbling V-Twin sound.
