Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
Rock-Solid Engine Reliability
The C90's 1462cc V-twin engine is widely regarded as one of Suzuki's most dependable powerplants, with many owners reporting 50,000+ miles with minimal issues beyond routine maintenance.
Watch for Carburetor Issues
Pre-2010 carbureted models are prone to gummed-up carbs from ethanol fuel or long storage periods — always inspect for rough idling or hard starting before buying used.
Strong Resale Value
The C90 holds its value better than many cruisers in its class, partly due to its reputation for longevity and the loyal Suzuki Boulevard community keeping demand steady.
Générations et spécifications par année
Présenté sous le nom de Boulevard C90 en remplacement de l'Intruder VS1400 ; bicylindre en V de 1462 cm3, plate-forme VL1500 à injection de carburant, style croiseur classique.
"Grand croiseur honnête qui gagne sa vie au quotidien."
La C90 tire fort dès que vous appuyez sur l'accélérateur : ce bicylindre en V de 1462 cm3 développe 118 Nm si bas dans la plage de régime qu'il est à peine nécessaire de changer de vitesse, et l'injection de carburant permet des démarrages à froid sans aucun problème par rapport à l'époque de l'Intruder à moteur. Rouler à 110 km/h donne l'impression d'être tranquille, presque paresseux, et c'est exactement le but. Au-delà de 140 km/h, le souffle du vent sur cet écran étroit devient une véritable conversation. Avec 326 kg de sol mouillé, les manœuvres à faible vitesse dans les parkings exigent du respect et de la musculation des épaules, et la distance entre les planches est suffisamment étroite pour que vous puissiez moudre du chrome avant que vous ne vous y attendiez dans les virages. Ce n'est pas passionnant sur le plan sportif, mais parcourez 400 kilomètres par jour avec ce vélo et vous arriverez moins fatigué que sur des vélos deux fois plus grands.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"Solid, unfussy cruiser that rewards relaxed riders who maintain it."
$3,500-$7,500 usedThe C90 is Suzuki's answer to the Harley Softail crowd, and honestly it does a decent job. The 1462cc V-twin pulls strong from low revs, the riding position is relaxed without being punishing, and the chrome work holds up well if the previous owner wasn't lazy with maintenance. For highway cruising it's genuinely comfortable, but don't expect it to carve corners — this thing weighs 700+ pounds and it knows it. Used examples from the mid-2000s are everywhere and prices have stayed sensible. Watch out for neglected carburetors on pre-2009 models before fuel injection arrived — they gum up badly if the bike sat unused. Check the floorboard mounts for rust, inspect the final belt drive for cracking, and make sure the turn signals aren't corroded through. These aren't dealbreakers, just typical used-bike homework. It's never going to excite you the way a performance bike does, but that's not the point. The C90 is a dependable, comfortable mile-eater that won't leave you stranded.
