The Suzuki Boulevard S50 was a V-Twin motorcycle manufactured in 2005, and until that point, it was called VS 800 from 1992 to 2004.
In 2008, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer released the Boulevard S50, a classic chopper-styled motorcycle powered by a V-Twin carburated engine in a lightweight and agile package that was perfect through tight city traffic and offered a comfortable and relaxed riding position on highway streets.
Like every Boulevard cruiser motorcycle, the soul was in its V-Twin powerplant, which provided impressive torque and crisp acceleration. The slim, narrow four-stroke V-Twin liquid-cooled engine was designed to deliver strong low-mid range torque with a dual-pin crankshaft design that reduced vibration without a counterbalancer and provided a compact engine design.
As for the power figures, the 2008 Suzuki Boulevard S50 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 bike featured a custom-look chromed exhaust system that provided a clean classic look and a deep rumbling V-Twin sound.
In the visual department, the narrow double-cradle steel frame offered a classic slim chopper look complemented by a sleek, one-piece saddle with a low seat height, great for smaller riders. Also, the custom flat handlebar provided a clean, sporty appearance and comfortable reach, while behind it was an easy-to-read speedometer with a trip meter, an indicator light for a neutral position, oil pressure, and turn signal indicators.
Also, the bike was available with optional features such as a windshield, saddlebags, engine guards, billet aluminum elements, and custom seats.
