2008 Suzuki Boulevard C50T review from United States of America
"A nice motorcycle for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
While washing the bike, the lens cap on the front turn signal fell off.
General comments?
Unable to use the helmet lock as the saddlebags hide it and I cannot insert the key behind the saddlebags.
The bike has good power for a vtwin of that size.
Good looking with nice features.
Seat starts to burn after an hour of riding.
Get some buzz in the grips.
Bike whines when getting up around 40mph.
The bike seems to be a little top heavy.
However it handles nicely at speeds other than slow.
