2008 Suzuki Boulevard C50C / C50 Limited

An attractive and unique version of the classic C50 featuring cast aluminum wheels, a special tribal paint scheme, stylish studded seat and the Suzuki Boulevard logo embossed in the seat. The Boulevard C50C has the soul of a classic cruiser combined with V-twin performance that gives you a charge every time you twist the throttle. The Boulevard C50C’s classic design begins with the flowing lines of its kicked-out front end and pullback handlebars, which perfectly complement its teardrop tank, stepped seat and boldly valanced rear fender. These lines, of course, show off its spacious seating position, which promises a comfortable ride hour after hour. Down the boulevard or out on the highway, the C50C’s V-twin powerplant is engineered for pure excitement. With strong low-end and mid-range torque, it accelerates hard from just above idle. Yet, thanks to its advanced engineering, it’s incredibly smooth at highway cruising speeds. It’s time to discover how good a classic cruiser can be – with the 2008 Boulevard C50C.
