Great Bike
By (I am an Owner) on Feb 18, 2017This is a great bike. I have over 26,000 miles on her and still going strong. The promblem I have had is when I added Cobra pipes. Would not idle like it should so I ordered the Cobra tuner for it. May it better butstnot the same. I ride it hard all the time so I looking to change te clutch ... disc ou soon, will be the first time. All I have done is change tires, brakes, and oil. Could not ask for a better bike. My only complaint is that I can not find a batwing with radio to fit it. This an option Suzuki my want to consider.

Great Ride
By (I am an Owner) on Apr 17, 2013Bought a used 2005 C50T for a great price with only 7,000 miles on it. Great fit and finish and the black color and chrome is great. Very easy to ride and very nimble - overall a great handling motorcycle with plenty of power to get on the highway and cruise. Seat is comfortable and saddle bags ... are very nice, but definitely not waterproof. Better put valuables in a plastic bag inside the saddle bags if you are expecting rain.
Some reviews I have read said that it needs a 6th gear for highway cruising, but I disagree - it feels very nice at 70-75 mph - I never go faster than that. Sometimes have to downshift to 4th gear to pass, especially on hills, but this is no problem. The value, reliability and look of this Suzuki make it a winner

GREAT BIKE FOR THE MONEY...
By (I am an Owner) on Apr 27, 2011I bought my 2005 Suzuki Boulevard C50T with 6500 miles on it and so far it has been a great bike. I ride 80% of the time by myself and the other 20% with my wife is on the back. This bike came loaded with Cobra Exhaust, K&N Filter, Crash Bars, Highway Pegs, Driving Lights, and too much chrome to ... list. The only thing I have done to it is the Power Commander USB III to tighten up the performance.(recommended with any mods)The only complaint I have is that at highway speeds there is a lot of vibration. So much vibration that I have had to replace fuses and bulbs for the turn signals and driving lights. I recommend this bike for beginners and for anyone who loves to cruise. GREAT JOB as usual Suzuki...

The one I kept
By (I am an Owner) on Apr 18, 2011I bought the 2005 C50T new. I've always bought cheap, repaired, used and resold until now. I'm 265 lbs and this bike keeps up with all my biker friends. Don't bother buying highway pegs, the ride is so comfortable as is. One of the mirrors broke off while adjusting it due to an air pocket in the ... ferrous metal. I'm at about 12,000 miles, absolutely no complaints to Suzuki. I live in Minnesota, use only non-oxiginated fuel and put in Sea Foam every Fall.

Happy customer for nearly five years...
By (I am an Owner) on Oct 05, 2010I bought my C50T early in 2006 & have never had a problem with it. Great handling, good ride, never a problem! I'm also a woman so I appreciate the low maintenance factor. I get lots of compliments on my bike and expect to keep it for years to come.

Nice bike- but has not be right since purchase
By (I am an Owner) on Nov 29, 2009I bought this cruiser based on looks and the recommendation of my sales rep. on how great the bike was. From the day I bought it, at start up this bike has a knock in it until warmed up. Took it back to the dealer several times and even though they could hear the knock, they want me to pay for the ... tear down if they could not find anything. The next problem is I can not get the bike to idle steady. Adding a Power Commander helped. When crusing steady at low about 42MPH it acts like it is run out of fuel, but a slight twist of the throttle clears it. Next the tank will/would not vent properly. If you fill per the owner manual and it is hot out, it will force fuel out the gas cap and also fill up the vapor canistor with raw fuel. Had to full open the vent line, including taking out the roll over valve to almost fix this problem. Last at 10K miles my clutch was history. Getting a Suzuki dealer to fix the bike or Suzuki to back their product, impossible. Will I buy any more Suzuki's? The answer is no, because they do not back there product.
