Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 2006, 2007
A small-to-middleweight machine, the 2007 Boulevard S40 was just the right choice for new riders, shorter ones, and those not strong and confident enough to try on the big bore bikes. A single-cylinder chopper inspired by the '70s classic machines was the best way to start discovering the two-wheeled world.
The model featured a low riding position with a one-piece saddle and custom flat handlebar that provided a clean, sporty appearance, front fork guards that protected the inner fork from road debris, polished upper fork brackets, and polished wire-spoked wheels that mimic the classic look of the larger Boulevard cruising models.
Onto the chassis, the suspension consisted of a telescopic fork on the front and two shock absorbers mounted on each side of the bike with a five-way adjustable spring preload on the rear.
The braking power was handled by a 265 mm disc with a hydraulic caliper on the front wheel and a rod-operated drum unit on the rear wheel.
In the performance department, the engine featured Twin Swirl Combustion Chamber (TSCC) and a high mass crankshaft that provided strong low-end power and torque, a black engine case with polished cylinder head fins for a more finished appearance, and an electric starter.
The 2007 Suzuki Boulevard S40 took its thrust from a 652cc four-stroke single-cylinder air-cooled engine that produced an output power of 31 hp with a peak at 5,400 rpm and 50 Nm (37 lb-ft) of maximum torque available at 3,400 rpm.
