In 2012, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Boulevard M50, a middleweight cruiser, which through its stylish look told a story of how cool Suzuki was at mixing classic looks with modern lines.
The mid-sized cruiser came with a new style similar to its bigger M90 brother and looked more muscular with the addition of the signature front cowl, a new rear fender, and an engine that was fitted with more chromed parts, while the rest of its technical features remained unchanged as the previous model.
The bike featured an adjusted rider's triangle with the low-rise handlebars slightly moved and a redesigned seat to make room for the new rear fender. Also, the aggressive look came with the addition of the headlight cowl and tail section, where the headlight was identical to the one fitted on the bigger M109 model.
Tech-wise, the 2012 Suzuki Boulevard M50 featured a handlebar-mounted speedometer designed for a clean appearance and high visibility, bullet-shaped turn signals, a large Led taillight with a clear lens for a more modern look, a long, wide fuel tank neatly merged into the seat, and a powerful multi-reflector light that was turned off at engine start to reduce the load on the battery.
In the power performance department, the M50 featured an 805cc four-stroke V-Twin liquid-cooled engine fueled by a Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system that provided low-mid rpm throttle response and high torque output.
Speaking about output, the fuel-injected engine delivered an output power of 52 hp with a peak at 6,000 rpm and 69 Nm (51 lb-ft) of torque available at 3,200 rpm.
As for braking performance, the model packed a single 300 mm disc squeezed by a two-piston caliper on the front and a drum braking unit on the rear.
