SUZUKI Boulevard M90 (2011-2012) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2012, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Suzuki Boulevard M90, a classic-looking cruiser that packed muscle, style, and roadworthiness into a single package that looked as good as it rolled.

The bike retained the aggressive, mean looks of the entry-point M50 model, almost doubled the displacement, and increased the fun tenfold, but also packed a combination of cruiser attitude, technology, and value inherited from the popular Boulevard range.

The model featured a high-tensile double cradle steel frame and an out-of-sight rear shock absorber that created a classic hard-tail cruiser look and a low center of gravity that provided smooth maneuverability.

It also packed technology derived from the Championship-winning GSX-R sports bikes, such as dual floating 290 mm discs with two-piston calipers on the front and a single 275 mm disc on the rear that provided impressive braking performance and USD race-proven suspension.

In other departments, the 2012 Suzuki Boulevard M90 featured a pulled-back flat handlebar, a long, wide, well-padded seat, and an 18-liter fuel tank that provided long journeys in comfort.

As for power performance, the bike took its thrust from a 1,462cc four-stroke V-Twin liquid-cooled engine with a Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system controlled by a 32-bit Electronic Control Module (ECM) that offered enhanced throttle response and fuel efficiency.

The slash-cut chromed exhaust system was designed for a deep rumbling V-Twin sound and tuned for strong torque output.
