Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 2012, 2013
In 2013, Suzuki launched the Boulevard C90T, a cruiser motorcycle packed with retro-inspired looks and modern technologies, all bound together by the bold spirit which never left the house of Hamamatsu.
The main thing was that Suzuki offered a high-tech alternative to the classic American cruisers, with a 1462cc liquid-cooled V-Twin engine that delivered staggering torque right from the idle and was ready to take on anything from urban holeshots to long highway hauls.
With its bold yet classic style, the bike came with hard side cases and a comfortable passenger seat behind a tall windscreen that provided great touring capabilities and wind protection, matched by excellent performance.
The C90T was the first Suzuki Boulevard that came from the factory equipped with hard side cases made of resistant ABS plastic, which were also designed as part of the bike, not as luggage add-ons.
The seat was designed to accommodate riders of different sizes and allowed more than one locked-seating position, which provided a comfortable reach to the handlebars and foot controls.
In the performance department, the 2013 Suzuki Boulevard C90T took its thrust from a 1,462cc four-stroke V-Twin liquid-cooled engine that featured a Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system that offered smooth throttle response and strong torque.
Each cylinder featured the Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) coating that reduced friction and improved heat transfer and dual spark plugs on each one that improved combustion and fuel efficiency.
On their way out, the gasses passed through a custom-styled chromed exhaust system tuned for strong low-end torque and designed for a deep rumbling V-Twin sound.
