2005 Suzuki Boulevard S50 review from United States of America
"A fantastic first bike"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
None.
General comments?
I purchased this used bike about 8 weeks ago. It only had 543 miles and was in like new condition.
It is my first bike, but has proven to be a perfect starter bike. It has sufficient power for two riders.
My only disappointment has been the gas mileage. It's getting around 45 and I had hoped for at least 50.
The bike has plenty of power. I can easily leave all the cages at the stop light.
It does require use of the choke until it is adequately warmed up, but that has not proven to be a problem at all.
