Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders with at least some experience handling a heavier cruiser, though its low seat height and torquey low-rpm delivery make it approachable for less experienced riders too.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed, torque-driven cruising with a classic V-twin rumble rather than outright speed or sport performance.
Rider FitA tall or average-height rider will appreciate the low 700mm seat, but the 265kg weight demands confident low-speed handling and some upper body strength at a stop.
CharacterA laid-back, style-focused cruiser rider who values sound, presence, and comfortable boulevard cruising over aggressive performance.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or high-speed sport performance.

2009 Suzuki Boulevard M50 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 2009 Suzuki Boulevard M50 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.
