2009 Suzuki Boulevard C50 Special Edition Motorcycle reviews

Nice ride, great on curves and in the city, very confortable Show less

I have been to a few motorcycle rallies and have always received compliments on how the bike looks. My wife and I have ridden almost all over Arkansas on my 2009 Suzuki C50 S.E. I almost bought a smaller bike for my first bike but am so glad I didn't. This bike handles my wife and I with ease. It's fun to ride and gets over 50 miles to the gallon. I agree with other riders of this bike - it needs a sixth gear although it cruises at 70 mph. with no problem. My wife and I have ridden about 300 miles in one day and the bike was very comfortable. Lastly, I might add, it has a very affordable price. Show less

I bought my '09 M90 new in 2012 as the first motorcycle I ever owned. I must say I love it. It has tons of power, handles like a smaller bike and it is a huge head turner. I couldn't be any happier. A lot of my Harley riding friends have expressed their like for it and loved riding it. Show less

With the rebates Suzuki has been offering, this machine is the best buy out there! It rides great, yet handles well. It reminds me of my old Valkyrie. It's long wheel base makes a comfortable time on long trips. The Boulevard is highly customizeable. It's the most powerful stock V Twin I have ever seen. Mine's the same color as the picture.

OK, here we go. I now have 1300 km. on my speedo. I called the dealer and was advised to keep riding until about 1600 km. and then bring it for its first service. Last weekend I took a ride with friends for about 250 miles round trip (Guelph to Grand Bend and back). I got into rain, I mean heavy rain for about five hours in total. The bike performed perfect. Average speed in the rain was 55-60 mph. (90km/h). There was no slipping, nor any other bad stuff, taking into consideration my first time ever riding in rain. (My buddies on rockets complain about their stability during rain). There is a risk to lock the rear tire, but not on the highway, though in city, while downshifting in rain, but it's predictable and no other serious uncontrollable situations. I still got totally wet and we had to stop for a coffee a couple of times. A windshield would help, but looks ugly on this bike. I just ordered Vista throttle lock. During the ride, my right hand and wrist really felt numb. It cost $55 in all. I will install it, and hope it will help a lot. I just want to add - this bike takes corners really well. I was travelling with my friends on Yamaha R6, Honda CBR, Suzuki Intruder and it stayed together all the time (within speed limits more or less). I cannot compare this bike to anything yet, but in my humble opinion it's well suited for most of the common applications on the road. I can't go wrong! This time I've tried to take bike to a speed around 85-90 mph. (140 km/h). It's feeling the same as 70-75, just a bit louder. I still pushed maybe half of the throttle, really. don't know what is the maximum speed? I don't want to push myself to it, but would appreciate knowing. Show less

When I decided to start riding again after a 15-year hiatus, I wanted a bike that would keep up with the "Big Boys" but classic enough for a man approaching his 50's. The C109RT is exactly that bike. It is the true classic cruiser, comfortable, powerful, a constant eye catcher. My wife rides with me and finds the bike very comfortable. I like the 5-gallon tank, wide profile and awesome braking system. I did find myself really pressing against that big rear tire at first, but that is no longer an issue. Show less

The 2009 C50 SE is a great bike regardless of the rider's size. I'm tall and fit on this bike better than an HD Road King, which has me sitting on top of the tank even with seat modifications. It is only 805cc but keeps up with larger bikes. The gears could be spread out a bit more or a sixth gear would be nice, but the bike still has good power. The benefit of the smaller engine, of course, is the bike is lighter and more maneuverable. It is a great purchase for new or long time riders. My brother-in-law has one of these bikes but an earlier model. He is heavier than I am and his bike moves him just as well. Show less

After my Yamaha 650 Vstar was stolen, I was looking around and really liked the Boulevard but was concerned that it was too heavy. I bought it anyway and need not have been concerned as the extra pounds actually make the bike easier to handle. The transmission is much smoother shifting and the fuel injected engine is also much smoother and more powerful. I am sure glad my Yamaha was stolen. Show less

I am 45 and have ridden as a pasenger for years but have never been the driver until today. I bought the bike with 445 miles on it. The previous owner rode it four times and gave it back to the bank. It is in lovely condition. I have taken a 40-mile trip today...a total beginner. I practiced starting and stopping and doing turns and shifting yesterday. I took the big trip (40 miles) this morning. This bike is so easy to handle, even for someone as short as I am. Show less

The bike is great looking nad has nice flowing lines. It's a smooth ride and I love the LED tail light. People compliment on it. The pipes are not loud but they sound throaty which is cool. It has a great quality feel. It's easy to pick up from the stand and has a powerful engine. Show less
