Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders from newer intermediate to experienced who want a manageable, low-revving V-twin cruiser rather than an outright powerful machine.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed boulevard cruising and weekend rides where style and low-end torque matter more than outright speed.
Rider FitThe low 700mm seat height and moderate 269kg weight make it approachable for shorter riders, though the long wheelbase demands deliberate low-speed maneuvering.
CharacterA classic mid-size cruiser with laid-back V-twin torque delivery, shaft-drive smoothness, and understated blacked-out styling.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking sharp cornering performance, high-speed touring capability, or any off-road versatility.

2015 Suzuki Boulevard M50 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 M50, 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.
