In 2016, Suzuki launched the Boulevard C90 B.O.S.S., a cruiser motorcycle with the feet-forward position, which came in a package that combined a blacked-out style with the heart-pounding performance delivered by the proven V-Twin engine.
Along with aggressive styling and stunning performance, the B.O.S.S. model featured a spacious riding position with large floorboards for a comfortable ride, matched by precise, agile handling provided by its rigid chassis and advanced suspension.
The bike combined classic styling with modern performance, all wrapped around a steel-tube frame with a stout telescopic front fork and a link-type rear suspension that provided a classic hard-tail look and smooth riding performance.
It also offered great comfort with its wide seat, pulled-back handlebar, and footboards, while the passenger seat was mounted on top of the rear fender, which provided good visual clearance and a comfortable position for the passenger.
At the time, the bike delivered the most power and torque performance in the 1,000cc to 1,600cc class, with a powerful low-mid range output, smooth acceleration, and comfortable long-range cruising characteristics.
The 2016 Suzuki Boulevard C90 B.O.S.S. had its heartbeat set by a 1,462cc four-stroke V-Twin liquid-cooled engine that featured aluminum alloy pistons coated with Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) system for reduced friction and increased heat transfer.
The internal guts of a five-speed transmission that featured a high fifth gear ratio for relaxed highway cruising spun the rear wheel through a low maintenance shaft drive.
