Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 2005, 2006
The Boulevard M50 was a V-Twin cruiser motorcycle built by Suzuki in 2005 when they rebranded the Boulevard line-up by changing the name and replacing the carburetors with the race-derived fuel injection system borrowed from the GSX-R sports bikes.
In 2006, Suzuki launched the Boulevard M50 Black, a special edition to the base model that came in a shiny black livery topped by several chromed accents best suited for those riders who were in search of a classic-looking cruiser motorcycle in an all-black sober trim.
The middleweight cruiser packed a muscular look combined with advanced Suzuki technology, which was a great fit for both newer and seasoned riders due to its lightweight and maneuverability at low and high speeds.
The 2006 Suzuki Boulevard M50 Black packed an 805cc four-stroke V-Twin liquid-cooled engine fueled by the GSX-R-derived fuel injection system that provided low-rpm throttle response and high torque output.
Fitted with a five-speed manual transmission and a low-maintenance shaft drive, the bike spun the rear wheel with 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.
Right from the factory, the bike rolled on a set of three-spoke black cast-aluminum wheels that were brought to a halt by a 300 mm disc squeezed by a two-piston caliper on the front and a drum unit on the rear, which provided strong braking performance.
