Rider Profile

Best ForThis cruiser suits riders from confident beginners to experienced riders who want a relaxed, low-stress ride rather than outright performance.
PurposeBuilt for leisurely boulevard cruising and moderate-distance touring with classic V-twin cruiser character rather than speed or sportiness.
Rider FitThe low 700mm seat height and mid-weight cruiser build make it accessible to shorter riders, though its 277kg mass demands some care at low speeds and when maneuvering.
CharacterA laid-back, torque-driven V-twin cruiser with shaft drive smoothness and classic styling meant to be savored rather than rushed.
Not Ideal ForNot suited for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or high-speed sport performance.

2012 Suzuki Boulevard C50 Special 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 2012 Suzuki Boulevard C50 Special 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.
