Suzuki Boulevard C50T Reviews - Page 3 of 4

Absolutely nothing.

Where do I start. I hadn't rode for over 15 years and got back into it with a 2004 Suzuki S50. That was a fun bike when alone, but the wife wasn't very comfortable after about 50 miles, so we looked at the cruisers.

The Boulevard C50T model was our choice, and what a GREAT choice it was. This bike handles like a dream, has plenty of power, and will cruise all day long two up with no problem.

Don't let anyone tell you that this mid sized cruiser won't stay with the big boys. Yes it will, as long as you don't want to ride 95 plus mph all day, and if you do, why are you riding a cruiser anyway?

Suzuki has hit the jackpot with this model with regards to price and value. An excellent bike with no problems. Stop shopping around and go get one. You will love it!!

Nothing.

After shopping around, there are a lot of different features from all the the bike companies. I have not rode a bike for about 25 years, and there have been a lot of changes. What impressed me the most was after researching the dependability, performance, and value of all of the bikes... the best match for me was the C50t.

The drive shaft, electronic ignition, windshield, saddlebags, cost and looks was all it took. The only thing that I changed was the stock seat. I put a MUSTANG seat on, and now I can ride for hours without discomfort.

I get about 50 mpg, and it has all the power needed to keep up with traffic on the interstate. I lock the cruise control at 75, and it handles like a dream.

The rear brake was adjusted too tightly, and smoked a small amount when first rode. My dealer adjusted and fixed the problem immediately. I have no other complaints.

This is the first real street bike I have ever owned. I grew up riding only trail and "enduro" style bikes. As I got older, I decided that all the rough trail and back road riding was no longer as enjoyable as it once was, and found myself mostly doing street riding. So a couple of years ago I decided that my next bike would be a street bike.

I searched many many reviews on the Internet, spoke to several knowledgeable people, and began doing a lot of searching. I found the C50T and frankly it was love at first sight. The bike handled like a dream, and although it certainly is not a muscle bike, it is no slacker either. My wife and I can cruise quite easily at 80 on the interstate, with a good bit of left over throttle for passing and mountainous areas.

The C50T is very comfortable. The suspension is more than adequate when I ride alone, and adequate when I ride with my wife (it is adjustable if you wish to change the setting). The wide passenger seat with its large swivel back in particular pleases my wife.

I get about 50 mpg on the highway.

I have two criticisms of the bike. The first is that a bike of this size should have a front and rear disk brakes, not just front. Especially when carrying a passenger. The second is that the foot pegs for the passenger are completely inadequate. I resolved this by buying after market boards.

I love the shaft drive and the electronic fuel injection. This bike runs like a dream!
