Lo que los compradores deben saber
Proven Reliable Engine
The M50's 805cc V-twin engine is widely regarded as one of the most dependable in its class, with many owners reporting 50,000+ miles with minimal issues when properly maintained.
Watch the Carburetor
The M50 uses a carburetor rather than fuel injection, making it prone to gumming and starting issues if left sitting — always inspect for proper carb cleaning history on used models.
Strong Resale Value
The Boulevard M50 holds its value well in the mid-size cruiser market due to its classic styling and loyal following, making it a smart buy that won't depreciate drastically.
Generaciones y especificaciones por año
Presentado como Boulevard M50 en sustitución del Marauder VZ800; bicilíndrico en V de 805 cc, con inyección de combustible, estilo crucero clásico.
"Un crucero honesto y capaz que se gana el sustento a diario."
El M50 arranca sin problemas a partir de las 2000 rpm y la inyección de combustible se pone en marcha sin problemas en las mañanas frías, lo que supone una mejora real con respecto al Marauder con carburador al que sustituyó. El motor bicilíndrico en V de 805 cc tiene un sonido muy fuerte, no es un ruido en línea que pretende ser otra cosa, y el asiento bajo de 690 mm hace que los pasajeros más bajos se sientan inmediatamente como en casa. Lo que pierde puntos es en su resistencia en carretera: la ráfaga de viento no deja de superar los 130 km/h sin carenar, y los mandos delanteros colocan la parte inferior de la espalda en una posición comprometida después de dos horas. Tampoco es una bicicleta que esconda sus 261 kg en curvas cerradas en U, pero tanto en la conducción diaria como en las ráfagas de fin de semana, ofrece exactamente lo que promete sin dramatismo ni actitud.
Pros
Contras
Refinamientos menores, opciones de color actualizadas, mapeo mejorado de inyección de combustible, prácticamente sin cambios mecánicos desde el punto de vista mecánico desde el punto de vista de la primera generación.
Detalles de estilo actualizados, nuevos esquemas de color, continuidad mecánica con pequeñas actualizaciones en materia de cumplimiento de emisiones.
Reseña de un comprador usado
"A dependable, honest cruiser that rewards sensible buyers who inspect carefully."
$3,500-$6,500 usedThe M50 is Suzuki's answer to the Yamaha V-Star 950, and honestly it's a solid answer. The 805cc V-twin pulls cleanly from low revs, the belt drive is virtually maintenance-free, and the ergonomics suit riders up to about six feet without complaint. It's genuinely comfortable for two-up riding, something a lot of bikes in this class struggle with. Used examples hold up well mechanically — these engines are bulletproof if the previous owner did basic maintenance. What you need to watch for on used M50s is cosmetic neglect more than mechanical failure. Chrome pitting is common, especially on bikes stored outside. Check the fork seals carefully and look for any signs of the rear suspension going soft — it's not the most sophisticated setup and high-mileage bikes can feel wallowy. Fuel system issues on early carbureted models can be a headache if the bike sat for extended periods. Overall, it's a genuinely enjoyable mid-size cruiser that won't intimidate newer riders but won't bore experienced ones either. The sweet spot for buying used is right around 2008-2012 with under 15,000 miles.
