Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 2012, 2013
In 2013, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer released the Suzuki Boulevard S40, a lightweight cruiser motorcycle with a timeless design that remained strong over the years, matched by lightweight responsiveness on both city and highway streets.
The S40 motorcycle rolled out from the factory on a set of polished wire-spoked wheels that provided a classic look like larger cruiser motorcycles and a polished upper fork bracket that featured an attractive and durable clear finish.
Also, the flat handlebar design provided a clean and sporty appearance with its custom-styled rear view mirrors while offering a comfortable reach over the tear drop-shaped fuel tank that featured a flush-mounted speedometer.
In addition, the bike featured a one-piece sleek saddle with a low seating position that added to the Boulevard S40's already streamlined appearance and a rear reflector integrated with the taillight for a clean appearance of the rear section.
For braking performance, the model packed a disc with a hydraulic caliper on the front and a drum brake unit on the rear.
As for performance, the 2013 Suzuki Boulevard S40 had its heartbeat set by a strong 652cc four-stroke single-cylinder air-cooled engine that featured Twin Swirl Combustion Chamber (TSCC) for strong low-end power and torque.
In addition, the engine was fitted with an electric starter with an automatic decompression, which provided a quick and easy engine start while a precision electronic ignition system included a maintenance-free battery.
