Rider Profile

Best ForSuits beginner to intermediate riders who want a relaxed, low-stress cruiser rather than a high-performance machine.
PurposeBuilt for laid-back boulevard cruising and short-to-medium range rides rather than outright speed or long-distance touring.
Rider FitLow 700mm seat height and manageable weight distribution make it accessible for shorter riders, though the 277kg wet weight demands some care at low speeds and parking maneuvers.
CharacterA classic-styled, shaft-driven V-twin cruiser that delivers smooth, torque-rich low-RPM power with a relaxed exhaust note and traditional custom aesthetics.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sport-bike agility, high top speed, aggressive cornering capability, or any off-road use.

2015 Suzuki Boulevard C50 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 2015 Suzuki Boulevard C50, 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.
