Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 2004, 2005
The Suzuki Boulevard M50 was a V-Twin cruiser motorcycle introduced in 2005 by the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer, which was the year when they rebranded the cruiser range from VZ800 Marauder to Boulevard M50.
Along with the new name where "M" represented "muscle" and 50 represented the displacement of the engine in cubic inches, Suzuki also replaced the carburetors with a fuel injection system, which resulted in a motorcycle with the traditional look of old-school bobbers and impeccable craftmanship and technology inherited by Suzuki.
The Boulevard M50 was the machine that paved the road in the American cruising lifestyle with its styled, muscular look combined with performance, handling, and comfort, all offered by Suzuki's technology.
The first visible thing on the Boulevard M50 was the hard-tail design offered by the advanced rear suspension with a hidden shock absorber that provided a comfortable and responsive ride, while the muscular style was enhanced by the pulled-back handlebars, contoured seat, sculpted rear fender, and the custom-styled exhaust system with slash-cut mufflers.
In the performance department, the 2005 Suzuki Boulevard M50 took its thrust from an 805cc four-stroke V-Twin liquid-cooled engine fed by a fuel injection system, which delivered an output power of 50 hp at 6,500 rpm and 65 Nm (48 lb-ft) of torque at 5,000 rpm.
