Overview
The Suzuki Boulevard C50 is a cruiser in the Boulevard family, produced from 2016 through 2026. For 2026 it uses a liquid-cooled 805 cm³ four-stroke V-Twin, producing 53 hp (40 kW) at 6,000 rpm and 69 Nm of torque at 3,200 rpm; its wet weight is 277 kg.
Peak torque arrives at relatively low engine speed, giving the V-Twin its strongest pull before the power peak. The 700 mm seat height puts the seat low, while the 1,655 mm wheelbase and 277 kg wet weight mean the bike takes deliberate effort to maneuver at low speed. Shaft drive avoids chain cleaning and adjustment, and the hydraulic clutch’s back-torque limiter helps calm the rear wheel during hard downshifts. The 15.5 L fuel tank and tube-type tires are also useful details to keep in mind when planning rides and roadside repairs.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Low seat
The 700 mm seat height makes it easier for many riders to reach the ground at a stop.
Shaft drive
The shaft final drive eliminates routine chain cleaning and adjustment.
Downshift control
The back-torque limiter helps keep the rear wheel calmer during hard downshifts.
Things to consider
Heavy at low speed
At 277 kg wet, the C50 takes more effort to maneuver in tight spaces than a lighter motorcycle.
Rear drum brake
The 180 mm rear brake is a drum, rather than a disc.
Tube-type tires
Both tires are tube type, which can make roadside puncture repairs more involved than with tubeless tires.

How to measure
Stand barefoot with your back to a wall. Hold a book firmly between your legs, then measure from the floor to the top edge of the book.
Estimated ground reach
Both feet likely flat
You should have a stable stance at a stop, although seat width and suspension setup still matter.
