Suzuki Boulevard C90T now available
Unveiled to the world's media in Germany just two months ago, the C90T is completely "blacked-out" with a black engine and pipes, all-black wheels and fully inked-over details. Tinware is all finished in Suzuki's 'Glass Sparkle Black'.
Combined with a 200mm rear tyre and seven spoke rims, the Boulevard C90T brings a bit of chopper style to the touring field, and makes an impact with its dark and dominant appearance.
The brand new C90T is also the first Suzuki Boulevard to feature a factory-fitted hard sidecase, with the saddle bags made of durable, impact-resistant ABS plastic under covers custom-matched to the saddle. Designed as part of the bike and not as luggage add-ons, the saddlebags feature wide-opening covers for easy entry and can be unlocked with the ignition key.
Also standard on the Boulevard C90T is the windscreen, which has been positioned and designed to provide ample wind protection and minimum wind buffeting.
The C90T's 1,462cc long-stroke, liquid-cooled, eight valve v-twin engine is the most powerful in its class and delivers the best blend of power, efficiency and torque for comfortable, long-range cruising.
The clutch features a back-torque limiter with a ramp-and-cam system derived from sportsbikes, which produces smooth downshifts and precise upshifts, with the Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) ensuring clutch operation remains light.
With long distance touring in mind, Suzuki's engineers have fitted an 18-litre fuel tank and shaped the Boulevard's seat to allow riders freedom of movement, not locking them into one position and enabling riders of different sizes to reach the handlebars and footboards comfortably.
A multi-function instrument package, highlighted by a large analogue speedometer, features a gear-position indicator, fuel gauge, clock, trip meter and indicator lights.
RRP for the Boulevard C90T is $17,490*. See the new Boulevard C90T in the metal at your Suzuki dealer. www.suzuki.com.au has a dealer locator.
