Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who already have some experience with heavier cruisers, given the substantial wet weight and low-speed handling demands of a shaft-driven V-twin.
PurposeDesigned for relaxed highway cruising and light touring rather than outright speed or sporty cornering.
Rider FitThe low 700mm seat height and cruiser ergonomics suit a wide range of body types, though the nearly 300kg weight requires confident low-speed control at stops and in parking maneuvers.
CharacterA classic, laid-back V-twin cruiser with shaft drive smoothness, torque-focused power delivery, and touring-friendly extras like a tall windshield.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, high top-end performance, or any off-road capability.

2023 Suzuki Boulevard C50T Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 700mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2023 Suzuki Boulevard C50T, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
