2006 Suzuki Boulevard c50 Test Ride Review

[@chemnitz-sama6513]

I have a co worker who drives this bad boy. Sounds and looks beautiful, and he has the moded V&H pipes on his as well. To God be the Glory my friend! Subbed!

[@Mickymoefoe]

I actually just bought one of these mainly because of watching all the srkcycles videos! Really appreciate all the videos you guys put out.

[@chriswaggoner9826]

I recently bought a 06 boulevard c50t. I haven’t rode in 10 years and this bike is perfect for me.

[@arokh72]

Recently picked a 2008 model with 50k km (31k miles) on it. Runs beautifully, nice and tight still. A lovely blue and grey colour. I agree with your assessment. It's a great cruiser for running around on the highway, and light enough for just popping down to the grocery store for a few items. It's a good size for a big bloke like myself. Well worth considering for anyone that wants a nice light weight cruiser.

[@lethargicstove2024]

How did it hold up? I just bought a 2007 with 31k miles and I hope to keep it for at least 10k miles.

[@timcrouch2789]

I'm 65 years old and just got my endorsement after 40 years of not riding , and I just bought a 2003 Suzuki volusia intruder 800 perfect condition 5200 miles just turned 62 . You are correct, fun bike!

[@Ichibuns]

These are less than $2000 now with 15k miles or less. One of the best used bikes on the market

[@mbraziofficial1431]

For anyone watching thinking about buying this motorcycle I Just bought mine today, and today was also the first time I ever rode a motorcycle too it’s awesome I totally recommend it to anyone.

[@LuigiPV255]

Hey man, how is it holding up? Also I’m curious how your riding experience has been going so far!

[@timnelson4240]

Comfy ride is an understatement bro,I have an 06' m50 the semi sister to your c50 and it feels like a couch on wheels and the inverted forks on mine make twisties so nimble I can't get enough.I got it in 2013 for 3200 with less than 6,000 miles on it.It is a true 50 cubic inch or 819 cc's and is a nice blue color that seems to change hues in sunlight.My exhaust engine and all mechanicals plus seat is all stock all I had put on it where a pair of 2 inch hyandlebaqr risers that cost 55 bucks,it came with windshield that is blue on the bottom of the screen and a few more creature comforts and i'll keep it forever.

[@ELPistoffo]

Wow, incredible deal at $3200.

[@BoulevardBoss]

Got a 2014 c50 as my first bike and its perfect for me. Done some to work to it now and love it even more.

[@DavoKC]

My dad found a C50 for next to nothing. All his Harley buddies thought it was “cute”. Him and 10 other guys took a 3 day trip and he was the only one not complaining of back pain, and not constantly nursing his bike. My dad loved his bike. Didn’t care what anyone thought. During the second trip months later all his buddies decided to take his “cute” Suzuki for test drives and they all fell in love. One guy even sold his Harley after the trip and bought a Japanese bike.

[@rickg.5171]

Can't beat the metric bikes. Dependability and great value.

[@smoothboye4203]

[@theboogeyman9813]

[@Cocytus]

@@rickg.5171 As long as it is among the "big four" brands from Japan in reference to the Metrics. I have never been a fan of the lesser reliable European Brands. They have the highest failure rates, unless you want to count Chinese Motorcycles, I personally don't because China makes trash Motorcycles, even worse than Europe. It's Japan or USA for my Moto choices. Always has been, always will be. :)

I love to thrust it really good. 08 Suzuki boulevard c50 is my bike. If I had any issue would be that I can’t ride it enough. If your looking for this one you won’t regret it. Sorry for the comment, I’m having really bad riding fever right now.

I have this exact bike and love it. A great cruiser and a very reliable machine. The footboards and the 5 speed make this an enjoyable ride.

[@Lozo16]

I just bought one myself and it's awesome

[@UncaDave]

@@Lozo16 It really is a smooth putt! I’m planning on a trip on mine too. Here’s a tip though, you can only read the oil level through the sight glass when the bike is up straight. That’s hard to do if you are by yourself. I carry a mirror on a telescoping wand. Sitting on the bike I get it straight and just put the mirror down where the sight glass is. Works Aok.

[@Lozo16]

@@UncaDave thank you for that piece of advice. This will be very helpful since this is my first motorcycle

[@fromthe4gotten]

I absolutely love both the bikes I've decided to get based off your reviews and a few others. I started on a 2006 Vulcan 900 Classic then life happened and I had to sell it. So this year I bought a 2012 Suzuki C50T in the blue and white paint scheme. I gotta say I like the C50T better than the Vulcan 900 Classic. It feels better on the highway. I always felt like my Vulcan was revved out. Plus the price tag is attractive too. I plan on bobbing this one out. 🤙🏼 love your content!

Looking for a mid sized cruiser that I can take on a daily highway commute to work and home (25 mile round trip), something that I fill feel comfortable on (5' 10" 160 lbs), and something that will have enough power to take me and the old lady for a cruise on the weekend (Nothing more than 100-200 miles). Would this be something that I will enjoy and will hold up to my needs? I am also looking for a decently smooth ride and smooth transmission. Anything bad to say about the c50? Thanks!

As a fellow Christian I admire that you stand up to the bigotry and would like you to know that i and many like me are behind you. I am an retired firefighter and this comes from a man who helped people in their time of need regardless of their beliefs or lack of. I have never forced my belief on someone and am a firm supporter of the right to expressing yourself. If they dont like your opinions they dont have to watch your videos. Their bullying only lessens their moral character. God Bless and feel free to express your beliefs.

Also I am looking at a 2008 M50 yellow black and Silver. Only 21,000. I wanted it so bad. Then I found out the title was Rebuilt. Both bikes are in Maryland and I am in Manassas, VA. Both bikes are $2,000. I just sold my 2003 Honda VFR800 Vtec. Also a Rebuilt title. And it took time selling that. Had 44,000 on it. Couldn't tell it was ever wrecked. Ended up letting it go for $1,000. I fell in love with Fuel Injection. Honda's don't seem to have got into the game much yet with fuel injection. VFR are fuel injection.
