SUZUKI Boulevard S40 (2014-2015) Specs, Performance & Photos

A truly timeless design can withstand the passage of years without any need for major changes, just like the 2015 Boulevard S40, which was just the right way to prove the truth behind this claim.

A true classic bike, the S40 retained the laid-back style of the retro choppers, with tall risers, a skinnier front wheel, and drag bars. The peanut-shaped tank was still in its place, and so was the short, aggressive exhaust.

Affordable and easy to maintain and run, the Boulevard S40 was a great choice for entry-point riders and even for more seasoned ones who liked middleweight machines. The lightweight responsiveness of the S40 was matched by a powerful single-cylinder engine that provided a low-mid range of torque and rock-solid reliability, which was best appreciated at cruising speeds.

The one-piece saddle and low seat position offered good comfort for entry-level riders, while the custom flat handlebar provided a clean, sporty appearance with its custom-styled rear-view mirrors that resembled those of the larger Boulevard models.

In addition, the bike featured a teardrop fuel tank with a flush-mounted speedometer, polished wire-spoked wheels that provided a classic look, and a rear reflector integrated with the taillight for a clean, finished appearance.

The 2015 Suzuki Boulevard S40 took its thrust from a 652cc four-stroke single-cylinder air-cooled engine that featured a Twin Swirl Combustion Chamber (TSCC) for strong low-end power and torque and delivered an output power of 31 hp at 5,400 rpm and 50 Nm (37 lb-ft) of torque at 3,400 rpm.
