In 2009, Suzuki released the Boulevard M90 motorcycle, a new and high-performance cruiser with a neo-classical style, which followed the M109R model that had its debut in 2006. Distinctive visual effects that contributed to its bold exterior design were the flowing lines stretched from the cowling to the tail, a wide stretched-out fuel tank, the inverted forks, and LED taillights.
A new chassis and swingarm provided fluid and intuitive handling with a low center of gravity, while the cast aluminum wheels and USD forks added a modern touch and present-day performance to the lean and mean cruiser.
The massive rear tire, with 200 mm on the ruler, was the widest in its class and gave the bike an interesting impression, while the long and spacious seat matched the physique and riding condition of the rider.
The 2009 Suzuki Boulevard M90 had its heartbeat set by a 1,462cc four-stroke two-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that developed an output power of 80 hp at 4,800 rpm and 125 Nm (92 lb-ft) of torque available at 2,700 rpm. The power generated by the engine was transferred to the wide rear wheel through a five-speed transmission and a shaft drive.
For braking power, the bike featured a 290 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the front wheel and a 275 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the rear wheel.
