Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 2006, 2007
The Boulevard S50 was a motorcycle manufactured by Suzuki in 2005 that featured a combination of V-Twin power with radical cruiser styling in a lightweight and agile package. In 2007, Suzuki launched the Boulevard S50, a cruiser motorcycle with several features that enhanced its smooth performance and also offered a great deal of comfort.
Like all the Boulevard cruisers, the S50 model had its soul in the V-Twin engine that provided a large amount of torque and impressive acceleration.
The 819cc four-stroke V-Twin liquid-cooled engine delivered strong low-mid range torque, fitted with a dual-pin crankshaft design without a counterbalancer that reduced vibrations and allowed a more compact engine design. Also, the engine was fed through a couple of carburetors that provided crisp throttle response and quick acceleration, while a computer-controlled electronic ignition offered optimum ignition timing under any conditions.
In the aesthetic department, the 2007 Suzuki Boulevard S50 featured a narrow double-cradle steel frame that offered a slim chopper look topped by a sleek one-piece saddle with a low seat height and custom flat handlebar that provided a clean, sporty appearance.
The bike rolled on a set of custom-styled wire-spoke wheels with chrome-plated rims fitted with a hydraulic disc brake on the front and a drum braking unit on the rear that delivered reliable braking performance.
The bike featured chrome-plated elements such as the engine side covers, grab rail, front fork brackets, side stand, footpeg brackets, and exhaust system.
