In 2016, Suzuki launched the Boulevard C50, a middleweight classic cruiser that doesn't necessarily have to be big, heavy, and powerful like the big beasts. With a low seating position and long wheelbase, the Boulevard C50 introduced a relaxed riding position with its forward-mounted floorboards, wide pulled-back handlebars, and wide comfortable seats, matched by the proven V-Twin performance.
In the visual department, the 2016 C50 model offered a classic look with its chrome-plated elements such as the wire-spoked wheel rims, engine covers, headlight, taillight, and turn signals housings, as well as the exhaust system designed for a deep roaring sound and strong torque delivery.
In the performance department, the middleweight cruiser featured a Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system mounted on a narrow 800cc engine and offered crisp throttle response with a cutting-edge 3D-mapped digital ignition system that boosted the V-Twin engine in the low rpm range of torque.
The 2016 Suzuki Boulevard C50 middleweight cruiser delivered an output power of 52 hp at 6,000 rpm and 69 Nm (51 lb-ft) of torque at 3,200 rpm and spun the rear wheel with the help of a five-speed manual transmission and a low-maintenance shaft drive.
The smooth suspension was provided by a telescopic fork with polished aluminum sliders and polished stainless steel tube covers on the front and a link-type suspension with a seven-way preload adjustable monoshock on the rear.
