2019 Suzuki Boulevard C90T

Summary:

To me it's hard to balance when stopped

Faults:

Nothing yet, don't anticipate anything I hope.

General Comments:

I enjoy the bike, my only problem is that it is hard to balance when sitting still, it always feels like it wants to fall over.

It's my first bike and I really enjoy it. As for the dealership, I had a pretty good experience, considering I really didn't go to buy anything (just looking) and left being the owner of a new bike; they were nice people, including the manager who threw in a lot of extra amenities.

2014 Suzuki Boulevard C90T

Summary:

Very good reliable bike. I would buy another one

Faults:

I purchased the bike, and I rode the bike a lot. The only thing that I have done to it was put tires on it and change fluids as required. The motorcycle has been a very reliable machine.

General Comments:

Great bike for the money.

2008 Suzuki Boulevard C90T

Faults:

My 2008 Boulevard C90T has a little problem; I don't know if this is normal, but after 80 mph, I feel the bike struggles to go faster and has no power. I weigh 167 pounds (not much), and I have installed a voltmeter reader to monitor my battery. The more RPM, the less volts reading I get; I think it should be the other way around. From 13.4 volts it drops around to 11.8 volts. That's why I think I have no more power after 80 mph. I've already replaced the stator & regulator, but it's still the same???

General Comments:

Other than that, with all the features: fuel injection, oil cooling radiator, hydraulic clutch, aluminum rims, and a final drive shaft, it's a nice bike, and the handling is good and smooth.

2006 Suzuki Boulevard C90T

Summary:

Great bike

Faults:

I just recently had an accident with the bike. My Brother in Law was riding it at the time. He said the started to turn left and was not able to turn it back right. This caused him to go off the highway and hurt himself and wreck the bike. Has anyone ever heard of this happening to this bike?

Other than that, the bike has been great. I have enjoyed it very much.

2008 Suzuki Boulevard C90T

Summary:

Best bike for the money

Faults:

Replaced tires at 10000 miles.

General Comments:

Tons of OEM and after market parts.

Handles great in turns, just no sharp turns or the floorboard will drag.

Great top end speed. I have had mine up to 115 mph.

I recommend keeping the white wall tires. I bought black walls and they just don't look the same. I will go back to white walls when I replace my current tires.

I highly recommend adding a light bar and highway bars.

2007 Suzuki Boulevard C90T

Summary:

A smooth well balanced, good looking bike at a great value

Faults:

I have had no problems at all thus far with this bikes that can be attributed to the manufacture. This being said, I have only had the bike for two months, and have only been able to put 1600 miles on it.

General Comments:

I purchased this bike a few months ago from a fellow that had 3 Boulevards. The C90, the C90T and the M109R. He decided to keep his C90 because he liked the color better than the C90T. (which is Gunmetal) He did rob the saddlebags, passenger sissy bar and stock windscreen from the T, which I have since replaced with aftermarket parts. He priced the bike accordingly. ($6300)

After owning several Harley-Davidsons I had decided it was time to try a metric bike. I must admit I am very pleasantly surprised with the Boulevards comfort and handling. It is equal to or better than anything I have ridden in the past. I am averaging 51mpg on the hwy and 41mpg around town. The bike has a great deal of low end torque as advertised, and seems to really cruise soft and sweet between 65 and 75mph.

I have not experienced any front end wobble with this bike at any speed up to 90mph, which I have heard some mention in other reviews I have read. I suspect tire pressure may have been an issue in those cases. But who knows?

The bike has nice clean classic lines and has turned a few heads on the few trips I have taken so far. The Boulevard out handles the last bike I owned hands-down, in the twisting mountain roads of Washington State where I live.

As much as I like this bike there are a few things that I don't like. The bike in my opinion is too quiet. Granted, there is no substitute for the sexy, throaty rumble of a Harley. But the Boulevards' exhaust note is almost non existent. I won't be spending large amounts of money on new pipes to make it sound beefier. But will look for the right deal on something to experiment with.

I also don't like the small fuel capacity of the bike. Although I must admit, having the tank down low under the seat may be a big reason this bike handles so well.

The paint is inferior to Harley and Victorys' as well as the lack of "real" chrome. But remember, the bike even new is almost half the price!!

I will keep this bike as a second when I make my next purchase which will be the Triumph Rocket III. It will then be used mostly by friends who come out for a visit. I would have no qualms at all having my buddies ride this machine.

I have to agree with you on the fuel capacity, and though I am sure my neighbors would not agree with you I think the Boulevard is a little bit too quiet. I don’t like loud bikes, but I recently bought Corbin pipes that have a very nice rumble, but are not too loud. I was not sure how I liked the sound at first because so many people had told me how much they liked my quiet bike, but now I love it. I have been a little bit embarrassed riding close to me home because my neighbors had so often told me how much they liked my bike, especially how quiet it was. I am not sure if they have heard my bike since I changed my pipes because I have been pushing the bike in and out of my driveway :-)

I have had my C90 for three years now, and because I am only able to ride it for three months a year, I have only been able to put 12.000 miles on it so far. One year after I bought it I started to feel a front end wobble, and it got worse every year until it was so bad I was sure there was something wrong with my bike. The bike was OK as long as I had the tire pressure above what was recommended, but I knew that was not the right way to fix the problem. Few months ago I decided to buy new tires, and since then the bike feels and rides like new. I am sure it rides even better now than when I bought it.

Yes, the original Bridgestone tire gives really bad handling once it "cups", and I replaced mine with a Metzler, which made the handling excellent.
