Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 2010, 2011
In 2011, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Suzuki Boulevard M50, a cruiser motorcycle that featured the signature modern headlight cowl, which was probably one of the most recognizable signatures in the cruiser world.
The M50 model was a middleweight cruiser that proudly showed off a lot of elements inspired by the bigger machines, with muscle cruiser styling followed by a healthy infusion of Suzuki technology.
In the visual department, the 2011 Suzuki Boulevard M50 featured low-rise handlebars mounted on pulled-back risers that offered a comfortable reach, a speedometer designed for a clean appearance and mounted on the handlebar for good visibility, bullet-shaped turn signals, a LED taillight, and a powerful headlight integrated into an attractive case that was switched off during startup for a reduced load on the battery.
For suspension, the bike packed an inverted 41 mm fork on the front and a swingarm linked to a seven-way spring pre-load adjustable single shock absorber on the rear.
As for power, the M50 Boulevard took its thrust from an 805cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine that featured a Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system controlled by a 32-bit Electronic Control Module (ECM) that provided smooth throttle control and high torque output.
Also, the model benefited from a low-maintenance shaft drive and a custom-styled exhaust system designed for a deep rumbling V-Twin sound and tuned for low rpm power.
