Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 2006, 2007
In 2007, the Japanese manufacturer launched the Boulevard S83, a motorcycle that carried on the heritage of the family and offered a middleweight riding experience matched by the Suzuki V-Twin power performance.
The bike delivered an impressive amount of torque, while its natural riding position and smooth suspension offered a great, comfortable ride around town or on the highway.
The bike was built around a narrow double-cradle steel frame that provided a classic slim chopper look with flat-styled handlebars with a clean, sporty appearance and a sleek, one-piece saddle, which provided a comfortable reach over the attractive tear drop-shaped fuel tank.
Also, the model featured a compact chrome-plated headlight, a rear reflector integrated with the taillight for a clean, finished appearance of the rear end, and bullet-shaped multi-reflector turn signals designed for high visibility and attractive appearance.
In the performance department, the 2007 Suzuki Boulevard S83 took its thrust from a 1,360cc four-stroke liquid-cooled engine designed to deliver a low-mid range of power and torque. The engine was fed by a couple of Mikuni carburetors that offered crisp throttle response and quick acceleration, which contributed to delivering an output power of 72 hp at 4,800 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) of torque at 5,000 rpm.
The power was converted into speed by a five-speed manual transmission and a low maintenance shaft drive, while the custom-looking chromed exhaust system provided a good look and a deep throaty V-Twin sound.
