Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 2004, 2005
In 2005, Suzuki launched the Boulevard S50, which was formerly called the Intruder VS800. It was a middleweight V-Twin powered motorcycle that was a good choice for new riders who were not exactly comfortable with the grunt of the big-bore machines.
Still, the Boulevard S50 packed plenty of thrilling punch and provided the rider with enough grit for smooth urban ridings and good comfort for longer hauls. Also, the bike featured a combination of V-Twin power with radical cruising style in a lightweight and agile package and a variety of features that enhanced its smooth performance.
In the performance department, the bike featured a narrow engine that delivered strong low-end and mid-range torque. The crankshaft was designed to reduce vibrations without a counterbalancer, and the carburetors provided crisp throttle response and crisp acceleration. The 805cc four-stroke V-Twin liquid-cooled engine delivered an output power of 50 hp with a peak at 6,500 rpm and 65 Nm (48 lb-ft) of torque available at 5,000 rpm.
The 2005 Suzuki Boulevard S50 featured a narrow double cradle-type steel frame that provided a slim chopper look, a sleek one-piece saddle with a low seat height best suited for shorter riders, a custom flat handlebar with a clean, sporty appearance, and an easy-to-read speedometer.
Also, the bike came with lots of chrome-plated elements such as the engine side covers, grab rail, front fork brackets, exhaust system, side stand, footpeg brackets, and front brake caliper cover.
