Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 2008, 2009
The Boulevard M50 was a cruiser motorcycle manufactured by Suzuki and powered by a V-Twin engine. Before 2005, the bike was called VZ800, and in 2005, the Japanese manufacturer changed its name to Boulevard M50 and packed the V-Twin engine with a fuel injection system instead of a carburetor.
In 2009, Suzuki launched the Boulevard M50 Special Edition, a cruiser motorcycle that came in a two-tone livery with the same specs as the base M50 model. The bike featured a muscular cruiser followed by a healthy fuel injection system and Suzuki's technology.
The 2009 Suzuki Boulevard M50 Special Edition provided a hard tail look fitted with an advanced rear suspension, which provided a responsive and comfortable ride. Also, the bike featured a pulled-back handlebar, a contoured saddle, a sculpted rear fender, and a slash-cut exhaust system d tuned for low rpm power and designed for deep rumbling V-Twin sound.
In the performance department, the Special Edition bike featured the same 805cc engine used by the base model, with a Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system that provided low-mid rpm throttle response and high torque output.
The four-stroke V-Twin liquid-cooled engine 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. The power produced by the engine was sent to the rear wheel through a five-speed manual transmission and a low-maintenance shaft drive.
As optional features, the bike was available with a windshield, a light bar, saddlebags, engine guards, custom seats, and billet aluminum items.
