2007 Suzuki Boulevard C90T review from United States of America
"It is a well engineered motorcycle with some cosmetic issues that can be addressed"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
The left rear turn signal fell off on the way home from the dealer. The wires were short enough to keep it from dragging on the pavement.
There are black spots (too numerous to count) on/in the finish on about 1/4 of the rear rim that the dealer has been unable to remove. Didn't see them under the saddle bags when I bought it. The dealer has asked Suzuki to replace the rims and rear tire.
General comments?
I am 5'-6" and am able to stand with both feet on the ground at stop lights. The low seat height is a blessing.
The seat is very comfortable for the driver but not so much for the passenger. My wife liked the double bucket (Travelcade by Saddlemen) on the Yamaha Maxim better; however, it was not as comfortable for me. Comfortable passenger seats seem to elude a lot of cruisers. Might end up getting a double bucket seat from Saddlemen and have a saddle maker turn it into a single rear bucket seat for her.
It starts immediately and runs better cold than my previous carbureted bikes. It has a lot of torque so there is no need to downshift.
I like the shaft drive, the oil/air cooling and the dual front disk brakes.
Hope it lasts as long as my first Suzuki (1972 T250J). It is still going strong.
