Thanks been thinking of buying one (I'm in the UK, known as the vl800/c800 I believe) just one question. Were the valves that loud from new? And have you had the valve clearances done at all? Thanks

i am in europe, got the same bike from 2009. i bought it last season, rided 7000 km, here in europe its called C800 or VL800 Intruder. This video shows me, you dont need a 1500ccm bike to get around with touring. Thanks for that nice informative story. cheers from Austria/Vienna.

Thanks for your review. I just got my boulevard c50 a year ago, on my mom's bday, so Ludy she is. You showed me that I'm treating mine like a little girl and she will like to see the outdoors, and even better that she will not mind to let her have some fun and get dirty. I got it with 6k miles (some 9 k km) and I think I'll keep her for long time. I have in view some bikes to replace it but it might not be that soon. Thanks for making me discover the deep beauty in it

Riding a cruiser on dirt roads is not a very bright idea. The C50 is a pretty tough old bike that has been around for a very long time. All the kinks and quirks have been fixed over the years. I own one and the only thing I have ever done on it was change oil, filter, tires and adjust the valves. It runs like a dream and I plan on keeping her for a long time.

You're a real Aussie in the true sense of the word and I found that very informative because you covered all the good stuff that we all want to know. Also taking us with you sitting down at the top of the hill and having a coffee was awesome. I bought the C50 boulevard about a month ago and absolutely love it and it's great to see that the bike can handle a lot more than I first thought. Nice work mate.

I love my 06 c50t over here in the USA,tx just a little over 11,500 miles. I love this bike coming from sportbikes like the old nasty rc51, this bike is just fantastic with the fuel injection it is spot on. I have a lot of aftermarket parts like you. Cobra pipes,tune,kuyraken intake, 16"apes and mustang seat. I don't think I will ever let this beast go.

Hey Mark, great review. If all reviews were like this, then we would all get the really useful knowledge we need which helps decide us if the bike is right for us. Without intending to, I think you've given me a great insight into the quality of Suzuki's design. How its survived some of the shit you've put it through, and to be still performing !00% is enough of a recommendation for me. Many thanks from a Pommie!

Great video. I bought a 2005 Suzuki C50T with only 7,000 miles on it about 4 years ago for only $4,000 USD. Best purchase I ever made. I have added a few accessories like driving lights, Cobra pipes and a Mustang seat and it is more comfortable than a lot of bigger touring motorcycles. It has plenty of power and torque for me. The only thing I wish it had was anti-lock brakes and cruise control. Ride safe.

Just purchased my second Suzuki C50, another 2019 model. The first one was also a 2019 but the full-dress C50T which has the saddlebags. windscreen, etc. It was a great bike but I'm more of a purist and, thus, wanted to return to a Plain Jane. Now I'm once again a happy camper. Suzuki C50's are great motorcycles. Happy Trails, my friends.

That was a great review. I enjoyed seeing the bike going beyond asphalt roads. Here in USA many will scream in disbelief but cruisers are good for dirt roads too. Obviously not really bad ones but transitable ones. My C50T looks just like Harry. I also have an S40 which is a smaller one but powerful too for the freeway. You should do a longer composite of different trips to see Harry in action.

VL800 / C50 is a superb bike.. I bought a 2009 model the same year, the only issue I had was a loose connection to the speedometer (fixed during regular service maintenance). Otherwise, the bike ran perfectly fine, having provided me with some 70k km of pure joy. I still pity the fact I had to sell it in 2020. Last year I bought an older model (a 2003 one - carbureted), with a few inexpensive fixes (exhausts mounting system change) & minor visual updates (changing the turn signals, replacing passenger footpegs for floorboards, etc..), it was still perfectly fine. The big maintenance (in my favourite service shop) cost only 200 EUR (yet, tires need to be changed this season). And yes, the bike runs perfectly fine, despite being ~20 years old. Right now I'm riding the C90T (a 2007 model - I gave the 2003 VL800 to my GF to ride it), but I'm already squinting at a few VL800sfor sale, as for me, this 805ccm beast is a much better bike than its bigger brother - easier to manipulate on the spot, easier to handle in city traffic, more suitable for daily commuting, easier & cheaper to maintain.. Yeah, I think I found the love of my life in this bike. BTW the lubrication issue is typically related to shops NOT doing the pre-sales checks & maintenance thoroughly, as the lubriciation of the shaft drive is listed there (at least here in the EU) - but yes, I agree, not putting in a little bit of (if I'm not mistaken) lilthium grease at the factory is just non-sensical. LbnL a very nice video 🙂 Ride hard & ride safe.

Have 30k on my 2009 C50. I didn't like it for some time but finally put a windshield on it and chucked the lousy stock seat for a Mustang with driver backrest. That made all the difference! Love riding for hours now. So far I've only done basic maintenance. No failures of any kind. The bike may not be fast or exciting but it looks good, starts every single time, doesn't leak any fluids and never breaks down.

They were having trouble with the shafts, some friends were taking them apart and finding out there was next to no lube on some, so started just taking them apart for people and lubing them up real good and have had no problems with the ones the lubed up. So good idea to check them out to be on the safe side. I did have two and never a problem with them. and put a lot of miles on the first one and gave the second one to my sun who is still riding it.

This is a great video, really, really enjoyed it and helped me make the final decision. I was just in the cycle shop today looking at the C50 and the new Bolt. I had a 2001 Volusia (VL800) which is the father of the C50, and I loved it - moved to a Harley, then sold that and looking to get back on the road with something smaller and less work. I loved my VL800, but was taken by the slick style of the Bolt. After watching this video, I'm going back to the dealer and signing for that 2013 C50 - I can't wait to see where she'll take me, but this is inspiring - thanks for an awesome video!!

I remember it well! Right around the time it was rolling 19000 miles. I felt it jumping on the ride home from work. I got home and googled it and it's all over the Volusia forums about 19000 miles and the shaft failing. And like you it was a big selling point for me I bought it brand new. 100,000 miles, no maintenance. Nothing in the manual. But love my M50. Mines black and white and I just put a batwing on. Good little bike. 19000 miles, about 30000 kilometers. No coincidence mate!

Mine is a 01 Volusia. It's the same as a C50 only carburated. 65,000 miles (104,607 km) and still going strong. Best engine and bike size for alot of people

Great review. Rode a 2009 for about 50,000 km. Vancouver British Columbia to Toronto thru Michigan etc. down Phoenix and back home to Van. to Las Vegas a few times. lost the drive shaft at about 45,000 km in northern California. Had to trailer it home. Expensive van rental, but only 220.00 for parts. did the labor myself. very practical bike. good on highway and in town. Range a bit short. I'm 6'2" and 200 lbs. Decent size for me, but not great 2 up. have moved up to 2013 c90t. Really nice touring bike. Bit less nimble around town, but wonderful power and torque for the highway and 2 up no problem.. Hope the driveshaft hangs in there. Thanks for the vid, mate.

Great video mate, thank you. I’ve been looking for a new bike and I am taking a 2009 C50 (23,000k’s, windshield, floorboards, highway pegs, in great condition) for a test ride in a few days and have been doing a lot of research on a few different bikes. This video has really helped in my decision making and if the bike feels good for me on the test ride i think my search will be over. It’ll be my first cruiser as I’ve always been on sports bikes, but I’m ready to make the change as I’m 41 now and my missus has always hated riding on the back of the sports bikes so this will give us the opportunity to go on some good rides together. One question though - how much did the new seat and pillion footboards set you back and do you still have the same set up? I think that’d add some real comfort for my missus, plus I’ve ridden my father in laws Harley Davidson 48 Special and he has a similar set up and I love the back rest for the rider. Do you also have any recommendations for luggage bags and how much can you comfortably carry on the luggage rack? Anyway, thanks again for the great content!

G'Day Mate - well I sold my '96 Honda GoldWing and looked around for a cruiser... It came down to the Boulevard C50 and the Kawasaki Vulcan VN900...I check them both out... both great bikes, but, I really felt at home on the Vulcan, so I'm off to pick one up next week.... My partner preferred the C50, so she has decided to get one of them... I will soon have the best of both worlds in my shed... gotta love that... Cheers

I enjoyed video and very good about putting the rubbish in your pocket a lot of people don't I sometimes will end up cleaning up an area before I leave it. And where I live in the state of Maine in the US there are hundreds and hundreds of little places to find we have all kinds of mountain ranges along the coast and inland. A lot of little waterfalls to visit and ski resorts in the summertime all kinds of lakes I always travel the back country roads I stay away from the highways. I've had many motorcycles in my lifetime. Honda's, suzuki's, yamaha's, Indian Chieftain, Indian Challenger, Royal enfield, Triumph Bonneville 120 and Can-Am Spyder. I traded the Triumph Bonneville in for the 2022 Suzuki Boulevard C50T I like that little portable stove he was that was pretty cool. I purchased the boulevard 2 months ago you have 4,000 miles on it it's a little over 6,000 km when they first came out they were called Volusia 800s and I purchased one but close to 100,000 miles on it and it was still going good when I sold it. I decided to go with a lighter cruiser 200 pounds lighter than my Indian chieftain makes a big difference. And the tie as you changed out I probably would have put a few more thousand miles on them. Keep the rubber side down if you can stay off that sand LOL some of the writing you did you should have been on the adventure bike these cruises I don't really meant for the dirt. The drive shaft assembly does have a little vent cap on it you going to deep enough water you're going to have water inside your drive shaft where you put the gear oil.

Hello Mark, I want to say that I enjoyed your video very much! Next saturday I'm going for a test drive on a new Intruder C800B (type here in the Netherlands), wich I like to buy. You've helped me a lot with your personal advice, very convincing and entertaining!! I hope that I'm going to have such a great time with mine too. Best regards, Guud

A friend of mine is shopping for a bike and he wants one to ride the way you do. Camping touring and cruising. He's asking my advice and I told him about the boulevard and how I would recommend this bike of all the used ones that we've looked at.

I have a 2006 Suzuki C50... It's my 3rd street bike and, by far, my favorite... 1st was a 1979 Suzuki GS750L... 2nd was an 1982 Yamaha Virago 750... Both were good bikes, but, this C50 blows them away....

Biker Bits....Hello, good video. I have a 2006 C50 but the only thing I could never get used to were the foot controls (floorboards and toe heel shifter) so I'm swapping them out for a set of M50 foot controls (pegs and toe shifter). That should do it for me...

G'day Mark, great name btw :) Loved ur video mate, found it while searching for info on the mid range Suzzie's. I'm glad I did and subbed right away, it's nice to see local content for sure. Really enjoyed your style and content but what impressed me even more is the extra effort you put in to make the final video more entertaining and engaging for the viewer.. for instance... setting up the camera down the hill and climbing back up to get that in the climb down the rocks.. Also the extended side shots while riding, you have gone to a lot of effort to make it all look more professional after the final edit. Well done champ, I look forward to meeting up some day, I'm not that far from you. Mark. Oh and give my regards to Harry, he's a trouper! :)
