SUZUKI Boulevard S83 (2005-2006) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2006, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer released the Suzuki Boulevard S83, a bigger version of the S50 model, which packed a larger displacement with more power and torque that suited the more experienced riders.

Still not a big-bore beast, the Boulevard S83 was a clean-looking cruiser with a retro vibe, fluid lines, and a classic air-cooled engine that pumped out a large amount of torque with crisp acceleration.

The bike featured a 1,360cc four-stroke V-Twin air/oil-cooled engine fuelled by a couple of Mikuni carburetors, which provided a strong low-mid range of power and torque and a dual-pin crankshaft that offered smooth engine operation without a counterbalancer.

The rear wheel was set in motion by a smooth shifting five-speed manual transmission and a low-maintenance shaft drive, which delivered the engine output power of 72 hp with a peak at 4,800 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) of torque at 5,000 rpm to the rear wheel.

The 2006 Suzuki Boulevard S83 featured a narrow double-cradle steel frame that provided a classic slim chopper look with a sleek one-piece saddle that offered a comfortable reach over the tear drop-shaped fuel tank to the flat-styled handlebars.

Also, the bike rolled on a set of 60-spoke wheels with chrome-plated rims that offered a classic look and featured a tool kit holder mounted in the engine compartment that simulated an air filter.
