The 2025 Suzuki Boulevard C50 combines classic cruiser style with modern performance. Its V-twin engine, smooth transmission, and comfortable riding position make it perfect for the open road. With low-maintenance shaft drive and timeless design, it’s built for effortless cruising.
Engine and Performance
The 805cc V-twin engine is fuel-injected and liquid-cooled, providing consistent performance across different riding conditions. The engine design includes polished aluminum and chrome covers, with cooling fins shaped for efficient heat dissipation. The fuel injection system incorporates Suzuki’s Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) technology. The system optimizes airflow through the intake tract, improving throttle response at low to mid-rpm ranges. A 3D-mapped digital ignition system, using throttle-position sensors, adjusts the ignition timing to enhance low-end torque. The automatic fast-idle system (AFIS) detects coolant temperature and adjusts the throttle valve during cold starts. The engine operates with a 45-degree V-twin configuration, balancing power output and smooth operation.
Transmission and Drive System
The five-speed constant mesh transmission includes a high fifth-gear ratio. The low-maintenance shaft drive transmits power to the rear wheel with minimal mechanical loss. The shaft drive eliminates the need for regular chain or belt adjustments and reduces drivetrain maintenance requirements.
Frame and Suspension
The steel double-cradle frame provides structural rigidity. The geometry balances maneuverability and stability, supporting predictable handling characteristics. The front suspension consists of a telescopic fork with 5.5 inches of travel. The rear suspension features a link-type setup with a single shock absorber mounted to a truss-style swingarm. The preload on the rear shock absorber is adjustable in seven increments. The hidden rear shock absorber maintains a classic hardtail-style appearance while ensuring rider comfort.
Braking System
A hydraulic disc brake at the front provides stopping power. A drum brake at the rear supplements braking control. The braking components work together to deliver effective deceleration across varying speeds.
Wheels and Tires
A 16-inch front wheel and a 15-inch rear wheel contribute to stability. The wire-spoke wheels enhance structural integrity, while the wide tires improve road contact. The deep valance fenders extend over the tires, reducing road debris contact.
Rider Ergonomics
The seat height is set at 27.6 inches, allowing accessibility for a range of riders. The wide, buckhorn-style handlebars provide a relaxed reach. Forward-mount floorboards support a comfortable leg position. The passenger seat is integrated with the rider seat, ensuring stability for two-up riding. The contoured seat design enhances long-distance comfort.
Fuel System and Tank Capacity
A 4.1-gallon fuel tank supports extended riding distances. The tank integrates with the design of the frame, contributing to the overall aesthetic while maintaining fuel capacity.
Lighting and Instrumentation
The lighting system includes a multi-reflector headlight, traditional bullet-shaped turn signals, and a rear brake light. The headlight assembly ensures adequate illumination in various conditions. The instrument cluster integrates a large, centrally mounted analog speedometer. A digital odometer, dual trip meters, a fuel gauge, and indicator lights provide real-time information.
Dimensions and Weight
A 65.2-inch wheelbase maintains stability. A curb weight of approximately 611 pounds contributes to a planted feel. The rake angle and wheelbase dimensions support predictable handling characteristics.
Additional Features
The 2025 Suzuki Boulevard C50 features Solid Iron Gray paint with understated tank graphics, augmenting its classic posture. Brushed stainless steel fork covers protect the front suspension while adding to the bike’s durability.
