SUZUKI Boulevard M50 (2008-2009) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2009, Suzuki launched the Boulevard M50, a cruiser motorcycle that blended some styling elements from its bigger siblings but offered a more classic approach to the road game.

The bike featured a soft tail-style frame that created a continuous line from the round, chromed headlight through the tear drop-shaped fuel tank, seat, and rear fender.

The pulled-back handlebar offered a comfortable reach and featured a speedometer styled for a clean appearance and good visibility. The round, powerful headlight featured an attractive chromed housing and was turned off during startup for a reduced load on the battery, while the rear LED taillight featured a clear lens for a modern custom look.

Also, the bike rolled on a set of black cast-aluminum wheels with a wide 16 inches rear tire and a 15 inches front tire, fitted with a single disc with a two-piston caliper on the front and a drum braking unit on the rear that provided the braking performance.

As for suspension, the 2009 Suzuki Boulevard M50 was at the time the only model in its class that featured an inverted telescopic fork on the front, while the rear was handled by a swingarm bolted to a hidden seven-way preload adjustable shock absorber.

The power came from an 805cc four-stroke V-Twin liquid-cooled engine that featured a Suzuki fuel injection system, which provided low-mid throttle response and high torque output, and a new dual spark plug system on each cylinder that provided better combustion and fuel efficiency.

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.
