Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 2010, 2011
In 2011, Suzuki launched the Boulevard S40, a lightweight cruiser motorcycle that did not receive any significant updates, so it came with the same classic-shaped chopper figure powered by the same single-cylinder engine.
The timeless design of the Boulevard S40 featured a shot of advanced Suzuki technology, which created a bike that delivered exciting performance and rock-solid reliability. The bike attracted customers with its lightweight responsiveness, which was great for cruising down the boulevard or beyond city limits.
The bike offered a clean throttle response with a low-mid range of torque and at cruising speeds, it delivered smooth engine performance. In addition, the 2011 Suzuki Boulevard S40 was delivered in two new color schemes, such as Pearl Mirage White with Metallic Veil Silver and Metallic Fox Orange with Glass Sparkle Black.
The bike rolled off the manufacturing plant on a set of polished wire-spoked wheels that provided a classic look similar to larger cruiser models and equipped with a hydraulic caliper on the front and a drum braking unit on the rear, which provided reliable braking performance.
It also featured a sleek, one-piece saddle with a low seating position and a custom flat handlebar that offered a clean, sporty appearance and a comfortable reach over the tear drop-shaped fuel tank with a flush-mounted speedometer.
As for power, the model took its thrust from a 652cc four-stroke single-cylinder air-cooled engine with Twin Swirl Combustion Chamber (TSCC) that produced low-end power and torque.
