At the heart of the 2006 Suzuki Boulevard S83 custom - cruiser motorcycle, Suzuki relies on a 1360.2 cc (83 cu in) oil & air-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 94.0 x 98.0 mm (3.7 x 3.9 inches) with a 9.3:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Boulevard S83 measures 243 kg (536 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 740 mm (29.1 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,620 mm (63.8 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 13-liter (3.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
