Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some experience handling heavy, large-displacement cruisers due to its substantial weight and long wheelbase.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed, torque-driven boulevard cruising and highway touring rather than outright speed or sport riding.
Rider FitThe low 720mm seat height helps shorter riders reach the ground, but the nearly 363kg weight demands decent upper body strength for slow-speed maneuvers and parking.
CharacterA laid-back, big-twin cruiser with shaft drive smoothness and classic soft-tail styling that rewards a relaxed, unhurried riding style.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking agile cornering, off-road capability, or quick acceleration.

2008 Suzuki Boulevard C90 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 C90, 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.
