In 2009, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer released the Suzuki Boulevard C90T, a motorcycle that brought the big-bore cruiser fun with sizzling hot paint, combined with plenty of chromed and polished accents in a package that was ready to roll right from the crate.
The bike was not only equipped with the grunt for the job, but also came prepared with all touring amenities necessary for long journeys, such as a tall windshield that offered great wind protection, a passenger backrest for a more comfortable position, and generous leather saddlebags.
All the leather featured by the bike was fitted with shiny metal studs that complemented the classic style, along with the cast-aluminum wheels dressed in white-wall tires.
The bike featured a long 1,700 mm wheelbase and a raked-out fork set-up with a wide handlebar that offered a low seating position and a comfortable riding style. Also, the double-cradle steel frame was made of large-diameter steel tubes for more strength and rigidity.
In the performance department, the 2009 Suzuki Boulevard C90T took its thrust from a 1,462cc four-stroke V-Twin air/oil-cooled engine that featured a Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system for low-mid rpm throttle response and high torque output. Also, the cylinders featured Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) coating that reduced the cylinder size and weight while improving heat dissipation.
As for the power figures, the C90T model developed an output power of 66 hp with a peak at 4,800 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) of torque available at 2,800 rpm. The slash-cut exhaust system was tuned for low rpm power and designed to release the hot gasses in a deep rumbling V-Twin note.
