Rider Profile

Best ForSuits beginner to intermediate riders who want a manageable, mid-size V-twin cruiser without intimidating power.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed boulevard cruising and casual weekend rides rather than outright speed or long-distance touring.
Rider FitLow 700mm seat height and moderate 217kg weight make it approachable for shorter or less experienced riders.
CharacterA laid-back, classic-styled cruiser with a punchy 45-degree V-twin that emphasizes torque and rumble over top-end rush.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sport performance, aggressive cornering ability, or serious off-road capability.

2011 Suzuki Boulevard S50 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 2011 Suzuki Boulevard S50, 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.
