Rider Profile

Best For	Suits riders from newer intermediate to experienced who want a relaxed, low-stress cruiser rather than a performance machine.
Purpose	Built for laid-back boulevard cruising and easy weekend rides rather than outright speed or cornering thrills.
Rider Fit	Low 700mm seat height and a mid-weight cruiser chassis make it approachable for shorter riders, though its 277kg mass requires steady low-speed handling.
Character	A classic V-twin cruiser with shaft drive smoothness, torquey low-rev feel, and traditional custom styling that rewards a relaxed riding pace.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, high-speed touring comfort, or any off-road capability.

Units

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 2012 Suzuki Boulevard C50 Special, 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.
