SUZUKI Boulevard S83 (2008-2009) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2009, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Suzuki Boulevard S83, a chopper situated between the middleweight and big-bore class in Suzuki's range.

The Boulevard S83 packed an air/oil-cooled 1,360cc engine and exuded certain design elements that harked back to the '70s with a svelte profile and a tall fork, a skinny front wheel covered by a skimpy fender, a fat rear tire, and a short exhaust system.

The 2009 Suzuki Boulevard S83 rolled out from the factory on a set of wire-spoked wheels with chrome-plated rims that provided a classic cruiser look and showed off with its classic cruiser elements such as the tear drop-shaped fuel tank, flat-style handlebar with custom rearview mirrors, a one-piece two-up saddle, and a tool kit mounted in the engine compartment that resembled with and air filter.

Also, for a more enhanced classic style, the bike featured a chrome-plated headlight housing, chromed bullet-shaped turn signal housings, chromed rocker covers with polished cylinder head fins, chromed engine covers, and a chromed exhaust system that offered a good look and a deep throaty V-Twin sound.

In the power department, the S83 took its thrust from a 1,360cc four-stroke V-Twin liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 72 hp with a peak at 4,800 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) of torque available at 5,000 rpm. The power was sent to the rear wheel through a five-speed manual transmission with a hydraulic clutch and a low-maintenance shaft drive.
