Suzuki Boulevard C90T reviews

Experience: new rider, 39 yrs old. I had recently finished a basic rider course and was shopping for my first bike. After hours of research and sifting reviews, the Suzuki Boulevard became my primary choice. I was looking for a ride that was an upright non-aggressive position, liquid cooled, fuel injected, shaft drive, windscreen, saddle bags, floor boards, and not a lot of chrome. The ride is comfortable, quiet (too quiet) and adequately agile. Only complaint is the lack of aftermarket exhaust options. I knew that going into the purchase; I had contemplated a Victory though. I drove out of state to get my bike and was entertaining shipping from anywhere in the country. There was a bike locally (Cycle World Virginia Beach) that was outrageously overpriced and the salesman was unexplainably ignorant, but I was willing to pursue other options thanks to the listing on Cycle Trader.

Lots of power. Quiet. Average about 42 mpg. Handlebars a bit short. Paint has peeled off blacked-out exhaust components. Suzuki has replaced parts even after warranty has expired. Handles very well. Plenty of storage. Show less

I traded in my '07 Suzuki C50T for this new model. I am ready for long rides, lots of miles and I was torn between the Road King and this bike. I had a whole day of free rental of Road King, took an 8-minute test ride and I was sold on the B.O.S.S. It just fit better, both leg length and pocket book wise. Although, I was willing to go each way, the Suzuki was my choice. It has no vibration while at idle, the down shift is very smooth and most of all I have to say comfort. The legs are perfect. I bought it 3-19-2013 and just had my 600-mile service 4-09-13. Show less

I bought a used 2008 Suzuki Boulevard C90T from a local dealership this year. I love this bike and have no regrets. It has all the power you will ever need. It's a great touring bike. I have put 3,000 miles on it this year. I am getting around 36 miles in the city and 41 on the open road. It sure beats that Dodge truck of mine all to heck. I give thanks to my dealership.

This is a 2005 that I bought used in 2009. The bike is just flawless and very comfortable to ride. I also have a Kawasaki Versys. I prefer the Boulevard as the center of gravity is way below me and she just carves up the twisties unlike the Versys which "falls" into the corners due to its high center of gravity. It's a great bike to ride. I dont' mind the tank size because after a couple of hours of riding I'm ready for a break anyway. It has a strong motor and high torque. I've had zero problems with the bike. Show less

An old friend and I went for a ride. He rides a HD Heritage Softail. My C90T beat him in every category. Looks, performance and to me, sound. I have chosen to keep my stock pipes on. He told me he wished he had done the same thing. He complimented my bike up and down and the only feature I could find to complement his on was an add-on gold HD emblem. I love my C90T! It's an awesome bike, bar none! Show less

The biggest compliment I can give is that, my wife loves it. Comfortable seat w/ the big back rest. My 9yr old rides w/me, she really feels safe w/ the big back rest. Show less

This is my sixth Suzuki and second 1500. My first gave me 40,000 trouble free miles and I really didn't need another, but when I got the chance to get another one loaded with options for a great price, I couldn't pass it up. I've put about 3,000 miles on it in three months and it's even better than my old one. It gets about 46 mpg in every day riding and it's not cold natured like my 2003 LC with carbs. The only problem is the small gas tank, but I still can go as far as most other bikers that I ride with due to getting superior gas mileage. Show less

Bought the bike in Oct 2009. Best bike I have ever had. At my size it pulls me down the road at 70+ with no effort. The only bad thing is the 3.7 gal tank. Show less

13.200 miles since new in August 2008, and zero problems with the bike. A problem with the add-on light bar that came with the bike, but nothing else. Comfortable for my body, easy to control at parking-lot speeds, tons of torque and smooth and tight at 70 mph and up; it chugs along effortlessly at 70 and taking it up to the 80-85 range, which I do only occasionally, still feels totally smooth and effortless. Will get 50 mpg doing highways at 60 mpg, around 48 mpg at 70 mph, and I get around 43 doing my standard city/highway mix. The only negatives ... the tank only holds 3.7 gallons and the air-input stems should be on the rider's right side for much easier access. I think Suzuki should have given it throatier pipes, too. Picky stuff, I suppose, but in the end I have no complaints whatsoever. Show less
