2005 Suzuki Boulevard M50 review from United States of America
"Excellent ride for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
There has not been an issue with this bike.
General comments?
In my final quest to switch from the sportbike world to cruisers, I researched many makes and models.
The Suzuki Boulevard line has much more to offer than all the other makes and models of its class.
My bike is comfortable, nimble and smooth handling on the freeway. I changed a couple of items adding a factory backrest for my wife, an automatic turn signal cancelling module and aftermarket Cobra exhaust. The exhaust I installed sounds nice, but it does not look as good as the stock exhaust. There is no performance difference with the exhaust changeover.
The handlebars could be back farther for my short arms, but this bike rides better than its Honda Shadow counterpart, and it also smokes my friends Yamaha VStar Classic.
Suzuki has done this one right!
