2023 Suzuki Boulevard C50 Cruisers – Features and Price
Key Features
Subtle tank decorations and Candy Daring Red or Solid Iron Gray paint enhance the Boulevard’s traditional stance. A smooth 50 cubic inch (805cc), 45-degree V-twin engine roars through two pipes, providing power for everyday use in the city—long-distance driving. The clutch transfers engine power to a smooth-shifting five-speed transmission and then to clean shaft drive with a slight pull.

Sitting on a soft seat only 27.6 inches off the ground, riders keep their feet comfortable. They sit back on the forward-mount floorboards and behind the broad, buckhorn-style handlebars. Large Valance fenders are a classically good match, with wide 15-inch rear and 16-inch front tires mounted on spoke-style chrome rims and a fashionable 4.1-gallon fuel tank.
A brushed stainless steel cover protects the strong front fork, and the bike has a retro-style, link-style rear shock that adds a smooth ride and a stiff tail look. Beefy tires on wide, spoke-style chrome wheels have a classic look while providing modern performance.
Engine Features
This tight 805cc, SOHC, four-valve-per-cylinder, liquid-cooled, 45-degree V-twin engine is built for remarkable torque at low RPMs. The engine’s trim design features chrome and polished aluminum cores that complement the cylinders fitted with a superbly symmetrical cooling fin. Offset crankpins provide distinctive V-Twin rumbling and perfectly matched firing intervals.

Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) electronic fuel injection technology keeps intake tract air velocity at its ideal level to provide throttle response between low and mid-rpm. The Auto Fast Idle System (AFIS) automatically adjusts the throttle valve opening during a cold engine start by monitoring the coolant temperature better than 2022 Suzuki Boulevard C50.
A 3D-mapped digital ignition system based on a throttle position sensor enhances the revolutionary ample V-twin’s low-down torque. The engine’s right-side dual exhaust system, which is chromed and staggered, is optimized for sharp torque distribution and produces a deep, rumbling exhaust tone. A wide-ratio five-speed transmission with a high fifth-gear ratio is featured for a comfortable ride on the highway. A low-maintenance shaft drive efficiently transfers power to the wide 15-inch rear tire while operating quietly and with little torque response.
Chassis Features
A sturdy steel double cradle frame houses a chassis ideal for leisurely driving or extended vacations. Visual references to American cruiser tradition are incorporated into the new generation’s styling, including sculpted heads with deep front and rear fenders, gleaming chrome, and rich paintwork. A single shock absorber including seven-way spring preload adjustability is connected to a truss-style swingarm via a link-type rear suspension system, offering 4.1 inches of responsive and smooth suspension travel.
The new 2023 Suzuki Boulevard C50 Cruisers’s hardtail lines inspire the suspension system’s design. The ride is soft and pleasant thanks to a sizeable 65.2-inch wheelbase and a kick-out, 33-degree rake. Telescopic solid front forks provide 5.5 inches of ample, smooth wheel travel. In the city and on the highway, wide handlebars, forward-mounted floorboards, and leather-trimmed seats ensure a comfortable ride.
For a traditional cruiser appearance, a large 15-inch rear tire and 16-inch front tire are mounted on dynamic spoke-style rims. Drum-type rear brakes and hydraulic front disc brakes provide strong, reliable braking performance. The wide, well-cushioned seat’s low 27.6-inch height makes it perfect for confident stops and pleasant cruising.
A comfortable two-up journey is made possible by the spacious passenger seat. Passengers can see over the rider’s shoulder thanks to the stepped rear fender. A large fuel gauge, a clock, and a handy gear position indicator are all part of the instrument cluster. A robust, efficient, compact LED taillight is combined with a bright multi-reflector headlamp. To make room for the saddlebag, the rear turn signals are attached at the base of the rear fender.
