2007 Suzuki Boulevard S50 Sport Bike reviews

I've had my '07 Boulevard S50 for about 18 months. I'm a new rider and this bike 'fits' perfectly for my height and riding ability. It's quick, handles great, easily climbs hills and mountains, and can outrun my husband's big VTX. The only complaints I've had is the brakes would squeal something awful. I have since replaced them with a different 'brand' and have had no more squealing. Also, after a 3-day trip this summer, I have since changed the seat to a gel seat. Other than that I have no complaints about this bike. I just wish I could find an engine guard for it. Show less

This is by far one of the best bikes I have ever owned. Suzuki loaded it with a lot of power. I have noticed a little vibration at highway speeds and metal to metal from the front brake. Other than that this is a really good bike. At this time I am getting around 200 miles per tank full. Overall this is a really fun bike. Show less

THE FIRST TIME I GRABBED A HANDFUL OF THROTTLE I WAS IMPRESSED WITH AMOUNT OF TORQUE THIS BIKE PRODUCES. THIS IS ONE BAD BIKE FOR IT'S CLASS. THE ONLY THING I WOULD CONSIDER CHANGING IS THE EXHAUST, IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE A LITTLE DEEPER TONE. I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH IT'S AGILITY BUT AT SLOW SPEEDS, IT HAS A TENDENCY TO STEER A LITTLE HEAVY. I WISH THAT SUZUKI WOULD HAVE OFFERED THIS BIKE WITH FUEL INJECTION THOUGH, IT WOULD PROBABLY IMPROVE FUEL ECONOMY AND CUT DOWN ON WARMUP TIME ON COLD DAYS. AFTER RIDING ON THE INTERSTATE (FREEWAY)I FOUND MY SELF LOOKING FOR A SIXTH GEAR. OVERALL, I'M VERY PLEASED WITH THIS BIKE AND DO NOT REGRET PURCHASING IT. THIS BIKE WILL GET PEOPLES ATTENTION......

I have an '05 that is essentially the same bike. I LOVE the performance of this motorcycle! You won't find a better performing stock bike in this weight class. It has all the power you need and then some. It's a little cold natured and needs some forward controls unless you are really short. Other than that, it's a great bike for a little money. Show less

Great bike. Lots of power and handling. Wanted and found narrow frame and drag bars. Would like to see the footrest farther forward from factory. Foward controls way too expensive, did consider the Triumph America and still would only for the footrest. Other wise, the bike has been great. A lot of people think the S50 is a 650, until it eats up a Shadow. Show less

I must of sat on just about every bike they make trying to find the perfect fit. I soon discovered that the S50 was the right size and fit for my small frame and light weight. I found shifting a breeze and overall performance great so far. I wanted a small bike with a big look and that could keep up with the boys. Minor brake sound and some vibration at faster speeds are the only things I have found negative. Overall, I have enjoyed every ride I have taken. If you are a smaller rider, definitely consider this bike. Show less

I just bought the S50 Boulevard and I have to say that Suzuki has done it again. The S50, which stands for 50 cubic inches or 805 cubic centimenters, is the most sold engine size in motorcycles. This is because you still have an enormous amount of acceleration due to the power house of the v-twin engine. I never had a problem passing on the highway or on the city streets. I also have to say that at 445 pounds the 805cc cranks out a ton of torque. Another aspect of the S50 that I enjoy, is that I have never had trouble starting my motorcycle even from a cold start which is very impressive considering that it is not fuel injected. When it comes to riding the S50, I have never been on a more comfortable motorcycle. The seat is amazing and the response of the bike to the road is just breathless. I would have to say the S50 out performs and out comforts any other bike in its class. I also say that the S50 is better than its bigger version S83 because for city riding and for cross country riding the only real differance is not from 0 to 60 but from 60 to 120 and if you want that, I would be looking at the GXR 750.
