Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders from mid-level experience upward who are comfortable managing a heavy, low-slung cruiser at low speeds.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed boulevard cruising and weekend rides rather than outright speed or sport handling.
Rider FitA low 700mm seat height makes it approachable for shorter riders, though the 302kg dry weight demands some upper-body strength at a standstill or in parking maneuvers.
CharacterA classic V-twin cruiser character with laid-back styling, shaft drive smoothness, and torque-driven low-rev feel rather than high-rpm excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or high-speed sport performance.

2008 Suzuki Boulevard C50 Limited Edition 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 2008 Suzuki Boulevard C50 Limited Edition, 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.
