rooky

After 20+ years of not riding ,I decided to buy a Suzuki Boulevard S40.

Entry level cruiser. The bike is quite dependable and halls me around easily.

I weigh 200 lbs and I found that it works well for a quik trip around town and has enuf power for 2 lane highways

cruises at 55.60 easily and gets... great gas mileage 60+ on the highway.
I am concerned that it starts in gear though and will have this looked at.
Have not riden with another person on the bike.
Would like to see better front fender.
one the extends down 4-5 inches more .
Bike is fun to ride and idles and runs very smooth for a single cylinder. Read Full Review

Women compliment Moi !!

Checked the world of motorcycles off my bucket list at 64...'took a Rider Course, checked the change on my dresser, looked at my nine year old and said: That used '07 S-40 with 1700 miles on it should do just fine. Craigslist,one owner. What fun it's been!! Have done close to 4,000 this season; ride... with some experienced Harley guys; they were in awe of this bike; "Heard about these thumpers, never seen one, not bad what you've shown us so far." I get double their gas milage (60 mpg ); & with the 5 gears I have no problem keeping up with them on the highway. Have had it up to 70 mph with lots of throttle left; juand when we're parked somewhere during a break in a ride, there's always a female who wanders up an says, "Nice bike!" The guys give me an envious hard time about that! The color is a nice blue...
Will no doubt move up to a bigger affordable bike in the future (Love that Honda Fury!); but it'll be tough to give up the S40! It does it all that I'm learning a bike should do and has no mechanical faults. 'And am I nuts, but considering a cross country trip on this bike! Read Full Review

It's good all around bike.

This is a great bike. It's got over 8300 miles on it, and it runs like a top. I originally bought it to ride around town, now that I'm retired, however, my son has a Yamaha YZF and I've been to two annual meets with him. His club has adopted me, even though this is not a sport bike. I ride with t...hem and believe it or not, keep up with them for the most part. It's great on the Tail of the Dragon and a good highway bike. It'll run down the interstate with the rest of them.

the perfect bicycle

First of all, I don't have to pedal it. 2nd, it's relatively light and flickable. 3'd , where did i go on my bicycle when I rode it? To a friends house? To work? Usually , someplace I wanted to go .With take-off torque from idle and a nice buzz at highway speed-it doesn't shake the mirrors much-this... is just about the closest I could imagine to having my legs powering myself to work. With all of the benefits of "experimentation". LOck up the rear at 30 mph-not recommended,but..... this is a great first motorcycle

Unique Motorcycle

I bought it used from a Suzie dealer, had 3800 miles, now has 4600 in 2 months. I love it because its Unique, lightweight, and simple to maintain.



It feels a little short for me @ 6ft, but I'm not riding it 8 hrs a day, so it is just fine. There just isn't any other bike in its power/weight catag...ory.
