Positioned in Suzuki's touring motorcycle lineup, the 2016 Suzuki Boulevard C90T pairs a 1462 cc (89.2 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 58 HP (42.3 kW) at 4,800 rpm while maximum torque reaches 131 Nm (96.6 lb-ft) at 2,600 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 39.7 HP per liter and a 2,200 rpm working window between peak torque (2,600 rpm) and peak power (4,800 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the Boulevard C90T measures 363 kg (800 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.16 HP/kg (6.26 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 720 mm (28.3 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,675 mm (65.9 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 18.17-liter (4.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
