2007 Suzuki Boulevard C50

bike has been great no problems at all. it has the right amount of power for me

I used to have a BMW R 1200 C cruiser.. great bike but I was due for two knee replacements in the next 12 months and couldn't cope with the thought a her sitting on the front porch unused for that time.. so she went ( sadly).. Four weeks after the first knee op.. I was already champing at the bit ... and decided to buy an ' Interim' bike.. The C 50 had been recommended to me by a mate and so I found a used one at a fair price and now she is one of the family.

She has screen.. saddle bags, heated grips, Light bar.. ( yes I am a poser) and Sat Nav system all fitted. Almost all the comforts of home! I have been away with mates from Ulysses and travelled all over the Eastern Seaboard of Australia without a hiccup! (except a new battery last week)

Would I recommend them... OHHH YEAH!!!

Fantastic easy c ruising and even tho she is only an 800cc.. she keeps up with most anything on a long cruisy day!

My Only Gripe is the pillion seat which is great for 10 minutes anad then feels like a backbone destroyer... but otherwise.. She is Terrific!

6 stars out of 5 !

My first bike was a 2001 Suzuki Intruder 800. I loved it but I envied my husband's fuel-injected, big seated 2005 Boulevard C50.

I wanted to find the bike that was right for me though. I looked for months but I kept going back to a 2007 Boulevard someone had traded in for a Harley. I could ... not find a bike that sat better and had all the things I wanted already, looked great and had a great price. Finally, I had to tell my husband I agreed with him. The Boulevard was the bike to buy. That was over two years and 10,000 miles ago and I still love my bike and it's still running good!

Had mine for a year now. the last time I rode was 30 years ago. what a great bike. love the city driving, and now getting used to the highway with it. Has all the power I need to get where I want to go. Highly recommend.

First of all I've ridden everything from a Yamaha RD80cc to a Honda VTX 1300 over nearly forty years. For the record I'm 5'6" and 145 lbs.

I just bought my C50 with only 184 miles on the clock! It had been garaged since 2007. So four-years old or not, I haven't had my first service ... yet!

Engine: It pulls very strong and while it won't pull your arms out of their sockets, if you grab some throttle you better hold on. Lots of torque for this sized engine, very smooth with just enough vibration you know you're on a V-Twin.

Transmission: The gear ratios seem perfect to me. First is fairly short and fifth is long making highway speeds smooth and effortless. Shifting with the heel/toe shifter is great with just enough "thunk" to know you've shifted. Shaft drive should be nearly maintenance free, smooth and long-lasting.

Handling: Except at very creeping speeds you don't notice the bike's 500+ pound weight at all. Small enough to flick around curves effortlessly and on the straight shots - just point it and go. Couldn't be happier.

Comfort: Well it's a stock seat so for me 100 miles will finish my butt off but I have a gel pad to put on. Grips and bars fit my reach just fine and the floorboards are just far enough forward so I can stretch my legs out on the highway - won't even need highway pegs.

Misc: The front disc and rear drum stop it nicely and I don't miss a rear disc. Water cooled, fuel-injection and shaft drive should make it long-lasting. The speedo pod is digital with fuel gauge, time, two odometers and engine temp. Yeah the wheels are laced with spokes which are always a pain to clean. Plenty of thick chrome on the bike, a spin on oil filter and stock pipes that have just enough "loud" to them as the RPM's creep up.

Honestly - if you're looking at bikes in this size range and see one of these for sale - you really HAVE to go sit it. For me it's perfect.

Im suprised that the C50 is not a little higher ranked, I just bought mine with little under 7000 miles. Its fantastic, easy to ride, fun to ride, and a looker. Ive got all the saddle bags, Windshield, Passenger Floor boards, Sissy bar with Extra large rear Travel bags, And even with all the extra ... weight It Rides great. No complaints. Ive never been a harley person, and believe that Suzuki has hit it out of the park with the Boulevard C- series bikes. Nice cruisers. It does seam to be alittle more comfertable while riding a passenger tho. BUt either way great bike, If you have the opertunity, get one.. Well worth the money.

Just got back into cycling after a twenty five year hiatus, and wasn't sure which small cruiser would be best for me...Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki or Suzuki...Skip the Harleys...too many Wannabies driving those up here...I don't want to fit into that group!

I checked out the big four Japanese ... bikes and had a tough time deciding which bike was for me...they all make great bikes, dependable, fun and of course, affordable. I settled on the Suzuki after a lot of looking, and re-looking, and heeing and hawing...and am glad I did. My bike came out of the shop about as basic as they get, the only accessory I had installed was a OEM windshield, and I drove it home 100 miles with a big *hit eating grin the whole way!

I spent the entire winter customizing my C50 since I don't like to ride my bike when it's -20F degrees outside then( One drawback for living in the frozen North Dakota tundra). I found many of the accessories online, some even on EBAY for a fraction of the cost at a dealer. All in all, I've made my bike into a 800cc highway cruiser for less than $7000.

I average about 3000 miles a year on it, driving it to work when the weather is decent. I have also gone to Sturgis on it twice, the 400 mile trip seems too short! I've ridden alongside Goldwings, Harleys, Kaws, V Stars and about everyother bike made and have had nothing but compliments on my C50..

I may have been happy on other Japanese makes also, but one thing I know for sure is that my C50 has been nothing but perfect for me...never any problems, it just roars down the road with me sitting on it, me, with a big *hit eating grin!

Bought my bike Sept 2007. Presently have 6000 miles on it. I have had no problems at all. The rear seat was uncomfortable for my wife on long rides. I had it redone last winter by Mean City Cycle in North Carolina. Excellant job by them. They made the seat 5" wider and much more comfortable.

I ... have been on several organized rides and receive many compliments. I added a ssiy bar and luggage rack.

This bike is a great bike. Only done oil changes and thats it. Wish it has a little more at the top to keep up with the 1100's of the world but it is definetly a sleeper for a 800. GREAT BIKE.

Before our Dealer moved to his new location, he quoted us a fantastic price on matching C50s. We were first time buyers that had done our homework so we could not pass up the deal. My son and I both weigh over 300 pounds so comfort and the right amount of power were high priorities. The C50s long ... wheelbase and time proven 805 engine was exactly what we were looking for. Shaft drive and fuel injection has added to our enjoyment. Years ago I had ridden trail bikes and was concerned that the additional weight of a street bike would be a problem for this senior. I found the low seat and the good overall handling characteristics quickly put my fears at ease. Bottom line, I would definitely buy a C50 again.

I bought this 07' c-50, after being absent from riding for 20 years. Handles really well in town and on the highway, not cumbersome for first time riders. I Have added a OEM windshield, backrest, and other accessories including saddle bags. I use a pro-pad gel seat cover because the stock seat gets ... hard after a couple of hours. I have put over 12,000 miles on the first year and not one problem. Also, several 1,400 mile trips this year. The engine does get a bit buzzy at 80-85 mph. but easily goes hours at this rate. I was going to up-grade to a larger cc. but I like the average 48 mpg. I get. I would recommend this bike to any commuter, novice or beginner. There are some plastic "chrome" parts, but that's how you get such a great value bike for the money.

I always dreamed of owning my own bike since I was a kid and rode with my Dad on his Honda. I inherited this one from my husband. After having it only 9 months, he went to trade it in on a Harley, he would have taken a loss on it and I offered to take over the payments. I went to the Rider's Edge ... class and the rest is history. I love it! I haven't rode other bikes so its hard for me to compare, but, at this price it is absolutely awesome. Just ask my husband who is now hating that Fatboy payment. He only went for the Harley because my neighbor bought a Yamaha V-Star with a bigger engine. You know how boys are....haha.
