2009 Suzuki C50 User Ratings

The Suzuki Boulevard C50 (formerly the Volusia) is a very nice package of simple and elegant aesthetics bundled with a very reliable mechanical composition that includes a liquid-cooled, fuel-injected engine (805cc) with a shaft drive. If you want a cruiser with lots of style points, lots of after-market accessories, and lot's of bang for your buck, don't overlook the C50. Plenty of go power, but a bit lacking on stopping power with a single-piston single disc front brake and drum rear. Plenty of power for 2-up, even, but again, the brakes reveal themselves as the weakest link in this otherwise phenomenal motorcycle.

5 starr in this category.

I traded in my Vulcan 750 to buy a 2009 Suzuki C50SE. What a difference on low speed handling. slow speed stuff is made simple on the C50, very well balanced. The C50 is not the fastest bike out there, but for me it has plenty of pep. I only ride one up and seldom do more than 100 mile days, though it seems the bike would handle it fine if I did venture out further. I looked at some larger bikes (C90, vulcan 1600, vstar 1300) and some similar bikes (vulcan 900, vstar 950,honda 750) and I always came back to the Suzuki. The only thing I really wish was for two disc brakes. The drum in the rear is a bit of old technology that could easily be upgraded at the factory. overall, I could not be happier with my choice (I did have to get a windshield to cut down on buffeting)

FRONT MAG HAS VERY LITTLE OPENING FOR WIND FLOW AND AS LIGHT AS I AM, FIND THE WIND PICKS UP THE FRONT AND AND GIVES THE FEELING THAT IT MAY FLOP.

Great local cruzer
