SUZUKI Boulevard M50 (2005-2006) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2006, Suzuki launched the Boulevard M50, a cruiser motorcycle that packed solid big bike looks with a healthy shot of Suzuki's race-derived fuel injection system borrowed from the Championship-winning GSX-R sports bikes.

The Boulevard M50 featured a hard tail design thanks to an advanced rear suspension system with a hidden shock absorber that provided a comfortable and responsive ride. Also, the puuled-back handlebars and wide, contured saddle enhanced comfort, while the sculpted rear fender, tear drop-shaped fuel tank, and chromed slash-cut exhaust system provided a classic look.

The 2006 Suzuki Boulevard M50 took its thrust from an 805cc four-stroke V-Twin liquid-cooled engine fitted with a race-proven fuel injection system that offered low rpm throttle response and high torque output.

As for the power figures, the bike delivered an output power of 50 hp with a peak at 6,500 rpm and 65 Nm (48 lb-ft) of torque available at 5,000 rpm. All the power was converted into speed by a five-speed manual transmission that spun the rear wheel through a low-maintenance shaft drive.

The bike featured a soft tail-frame that created a continuous line from the headlight, through the fuel tank, seat, and rear fender, while the smooth ride was handled by a set of black cast-aluminum wheels with a 41 mm fork on the front and a swingarm bolted to a seven-way spring preload adjustable single shock absorber on the rear.
