Suzuki Boulevard C50 Special Edition reviews

I just purchased my first and last bike, a white M109R. The bike is awesome, but let me tell you about the customer service. I had the best sales associate I've every had the experience to meeting. He found me what I wanted in less than a week and stayed with me all the way thru the process of buying. It was the best buying experience I've ever had in my life! He was a great guy. Thanks for your help. You have a customer for life. Show less

With the rebates Suzuki has been offering, this machine is the best buy out there! It rides great, yet handles well. It reminds me of my old Valkyrie. It's long wheel base makes a comfortable time on long trips. The Boulevard is highly customizeable. It's the most powerful stock V Twin I have ever seen. Mine's the same color as the picture.

This is my third bike and I have yet to find anything that could be considered a fault. It's reliable, comfortable, strong and good looking. If only I had time to ride it more! Show less

The C50T is a magnificent multi-purpose bike. It's a great bike for taking strolls along the beach and cruising in and out of traffic, and it's just as good of a bike for cruising on the open road. The bike has enough power for all applications. I am thoroughly pleased with my purchase. Show less

I bought a used 2008 Suzuki Boulevard C90T from a local dealership this year. I love this bike and have no regrets. It has all the power you will ever need. It's a great touring bike. I have put 3,000 miles on it this year. I am getting around 36 miles in the city and 41 on the open road. It sure beats that Dodge truck of mine all to heck. I give thanks to my dealership.

I find a reason to get out and ride everyday. The guys at the dealership are great and treat me like I am their only customer. Show less

Just want to mention, that bike is almost broken in. It performs perfect in all conditions. As I said earlier, no mechanical issues whatsoever. Fuel consumption is exactly 50 mpg. (4.5 L/100km). Last week I tried it on the highway maximum speed. It was running on 401 by Milton, Ontario for about 10 km. I installed a tachometer, so at 50 mph. - 1700 rpm., 65 mph. -2200, 70 mph. - 2900, 90 mph. - 4000, it went to 90% power by throttle, speed achieved on Speedo 105 mph. (165km/h) and rpm's 5200 -5500. I still checked the throttle and there was 5-10% power left. I gave it several tries each lasting about a minute run, then back to comfy 65-70 mph. There were no excessive vibrations at any speeds. It's a very, very good bike!!! By the way, I noticed that seat became better after 3000 km. Show less

I'm a female; got the mc bug when I turned 60, took an mc safety course and bought my first bike in 2008. It's a 2007 but I bought it new and since I lived in Illinois at the time, had to lay it up over two winters so it's still very low mileage! I had the backfiring problem but it's not as bad since I moved to Texas. Also, I put a Jardine Rumbler exhaust and jet pack on it for better torque and I love the sound. I did not have the backfiring with the original exhaust. I highly recommend this bike for beginners, and women especially. It's only 350 lbs. so it's easier to get back upright--yes, I have almost dropped it a few times. It's easy to manage in traffic and great on the highway, too. Show less

OK, here we go. I now have 1300 km. on my speedo. I called the dealer and was advised to keep riding until about 1600 km. and then bring it for its first service. Last weekend I took a ride with friends for about 250 miles round trip (Guelph to Grand Bend and back). I got into rain, I mean heavy rain for about five hours in total. The bike performed perfect. Average speed in the rain was 55-60 mph. (90km/h). There was no slipping, nor any other bad stuff, taking into consideration my first time ever riding in rain. (My buddies on rockets complain about their stability during rain). There is a risk to lock the rear tire, but not on the highway, though in city, while downshifting in rain, but it's predictable and no other serious uncontrollable situations. I still got totally wet and we had to stop for a coffee a couple of times. A windshield would help, but looks ugly on this bike. I just ordered Vista throttle lock. During the ride, my right hand and wrist really felt numb. It cost $55 in all. I will install it, and hope it will help a lot. I just want to add - this bike takes corners really well. I was travelling with my friends on Yamaha R6, Honda CBR, Suzuki Intruder and it stayed together all the time (within speed limits more or less). I cannot compare this bike to anything yet, but in my humble opinion it's well suited for most of the common applications on the road. I can't go wrong! This time I've tried to take bike to a speed around 85-90 mph. (140 km/h). It's feeling the same as 70-75, just a bit louder. I still pushed maybe half of the throttle, really. don't know what is the maximum speed? I don't want to push myself to it, but would appreciate knowing. Show less

I am wing rider and this bike is for my wife. I would like to say this is a good ride for a smaller bike. But best of all, if you need someone that will treat you right and help you get on the bike, go to my dealer. He sold me my Goldwing and now the C50 Blvd. There is no one out there who can do a better job in finding the right deal for you. My point in all this is having someone you can tust makes it all the better in finding the bike you want and helping you get it. Thanks for helping us. Show less
