In 2008, Suzuki launched the Boulevard C90SE, a Special Edition cruiser motorcycle loaded with some extra amenities that introduced a slightly retro vibe.
The bike received cast-aluminum wheels covered by deeply valanced fenders with a two-tone paint job and classic pinstripes while complemented by leather saddlebags, a generous pivoting passenger backrest, a tall windshield, auxiliary lights, and engine guards for protection.
The bike featured an American classic style matched by stunning performance and agile handling while offering a spacious riding position with smooth suspension.
The bike was equipped with the most popular accessories as standard, such as the custom-designed windshield that offered classic style and full wind protection, large capacity leather saddlebags with twist-lock fasteners and Boulevard emblems, and a wide pulled-back handlebar that offered a comfortable reach.
The 2008 Suzuki Boulevard C90SE featured a double cradle steel frame that housed the 41 mm front telescopic fork and a link-type preload-adjustable single shock that provided suspension and a hardtail look.
In the performance department, the bike took its thrust from a 1,462cc four-stroke V-Twin air/oil-cooled engine with a GSX-R-derived fuel injection system that provided smooth throttle control and high torque output. The model delivered an output power of 66 hp at 4,800 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) of torque at 2,800 rpm.
The right-mounted exhaust system featured slash-cut mufflers tuned for low-rpm power and designed for a deep rumbling V-Twin sound.
