Suzuki Boulevard C50
The Suzuki Boulevard C50 has a top speed of 170 km/h (estimated; note: manufacturer does not publish official top speed), produces 50 hp and weighs 247 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.2/10.
Der Suzuki Boulevard C50 wurde 2005 als Teil der umbenannten Boulevard-Cruiser-Reihe von Suzuki eingeführt und ersetzte den Suzuki Intruder VS800GL. Er wird von einem 805-cm3-V-Twin-Motor angetrieben und ist als mittelgroßer Cruiser positioniert. Er bietet ein klassisches Design mit moderner Zuverlässigkeit, was ihn zu einer beliebten Wahl für neue und fortgeschrittene Fahrer macht. Der C50 ist im Laufe der Jahre weitgehend unverändert geblieben, ein Beweis für sein abgerundetes Design, und wird weiterhin für seine komfortable Ergonomie und reibungslose Kraftentfaltung gelobt.

Was Käufer wissen sollten
Rock-Solid Reliability
The C50's 805cc V-twin engine is known for exceptional longevity, with many owners reporting 50,000+ miles with minimal issues when properly maintained. It shares core engineering DNA with Suzuki's proven Intruder lineage.
Watch for Carb Issues
Older C50 models (pre-2010) can suffer from carburetor gumming if left sitting with untreated fuel, causing rough idle or hard starts. Always inspect fuel system history and ask about storage habits before buying used.
Strong Resale Value
The C50 holds its value well in the mid-size cruiser market, often reselling for 60-70% of original MSRP even after several years. Its balanced power, comfort, and classic styling keep demand consistently strong.

"Ehrlicher, unprätentiöser Cruiser, der täglich seinen Lebensunterhalt verdient."
Der C50 gibt nie vor, etwas zu sein, was er nicht ist — es ist ein mittelgroßer Cruiser, der sauber ab 2.000 Umdrehungen pro Minute zieht, besser klingt, als ein Parallel-Twin es zu tun hat, und sitzt so tief, dass mein 1,8-Zoll-Rahmen bei Stopps immer plattfüßiges Selbstvertrauen fand. Dieser 805-cm3-V-Twin hat ein wirklich angenehmes Geräusch, besonders nach 2008, als die Kraftstoffeinspritzung die Kaltstart-Aufregung ausgleicht, die die Vergasermodelle an Wintermorgen plagte. Auf der Autobahn mit 110 km/h zu fahren, ist genau das richtige Drehmoment, aber wenn man die 140 überschreitet, wird der Wind, der von diesem winzigen Gondelscheinwerfer ausgeht, ohne eine zusätzliche Frontscheibe wirklich anstrengend. Das 279 kg Nassgewicht ist echt und man spürt jedes Kilogramm bei langsamen Parkmanövern, und die Fahrwerksabstimmung ist sanft abgefedert, bis es sich suhlt, wenn man auf einer kurvigen Straße zu zweit sitzt.

"Dependable, affordable cruiser that delivers exactly what it promises."
$2,500-$5,500 usedThe Boulevard C50 is Suzuki's answer to the entry-level cruiser market, and honestly, it does the job better than its modest reputation suggests. The 805cc V-twin pulls smoothly from low revs, the seating position is genuinely comfortable for all-day riding, and the build quality holds up surprisingly well on older examples. It's not exciting — let's be honest about that — but excitement isn't what this bike is selling. Used examples are everywhere, which works in your favor. Look for bikes between 2005-2015 with under 15,000 miles. Common issues include carburetor gunk on bikes that sat unused and fork seal weeps on higher-mileage units — both cheap fixes. The shaft drive is a genuine selling point; no chain maintenance means previous owners had fewer things to neglect. For the money, it's hard to argue against. Resale value is stable but not aggressive, so you won't get burned on the exit. Just don't expect Harley cachet or sporty handling — this bike knows exactly what it is.
