I'm a bit surprised in myself - I voted Awesome!
You guys know I'm not a cruiser chick or a big-bike chick but something about this bike really appeals to me. I will NEVER own it but if it was in the parking lot I'd take a good long look at it. I absolutely love the blacked out look! (I know it's getting common, but for some reason I really like it on this particular model).

I voted: COOL.
$13,999 eh? Not bad at all.
I am not a fan of black bikes. (yes, I own a flat black bike but I'm always itching to polish it). Black bikes are hard to see at night and that is bad for a rider even though black is a very cool color for a bike. Suzuki didn't do bad with this one, it looks mean, aggressive and stylish. A lot less chrome to polish up. Chrome adds weight and takes a bit to buff up nicely but IMO looks great in the sun. However, all black, easy to wash and go.
Now I am very shocked to find that the C90T version (below) is the SAME price and the SAME weight as the all blacked BOSS. Usually... no actually always, a no-chrome bike costs less and weighs less. Not sure about this here, maybe that black paint weighs more? haha.
If I had a choice, I'd be all over the normal C90T with the chrome if they still had one in stock:

Re: This week: 2013 Suzuki Boulevard C90T B.O.S.S.: Vote Now
Quite an interesting vote result and discussion. There was a time when all black cruisers were considered "too basic and borning" so the flashy paint schemes came out (check out H-D's "Big Flake" colors and Victory's colors over the years). Now it seems black is the very instyle option (never really went out of style but it's more popular now). White bikes are also quite hot today as well, when years ago you hardly ever saw white offered. Are we getting bored of the colors?
