Suzuki’s 2010 Boulevard M50 Gets A New Look


Shortly after following the Australian launch of the classically styled Boulevard C109RT, Suzuki has announced the release of the 2010 Suzuki Boulevard M50.

Suzuki’s 2010 Boulevard M50 muscle cruiser has a new look and it all starts with more chrome! The tail section and engine get some shiny new metal and other enhancements such as a new headlight cowl, reshaped seat, new rear fender and optional new tail section cover at the rear. Silver finishes have also been added to the 16-inch front and 15-inch rear wheels.

Integrated within the headlight cowl, the Boulevard M50 features a new instrument cluster, while the LED taillight has been reshaped to complement the new tail section. The updated M50 isn’t all about styling however, with the handlebars now closer to the reshaped seat for improved rider comfort, inverted 41mm front forks and progressive rear suspension with a mono-shock absorber that works with the double-cradle steel frame to provide comfort and sportier handling.

Weighing in at 584lbs (265kg) and powered by a fuel-injected and liquid-cooled 805cc 50 cubic-inch V-twin engine, Suzuki says its new entry-level M bike delivers impressive torque all the way through the rev range. A 32-bit ECM manages flow through the secondary butterfly valves that Suzuki claims “delivers smooth low-to-mid rpm throttle response and high torque output”.

It’s priced in Austria from  $10,990+GST (and on-road costs), the 2010 Suzuki Boulevard M50 is available in black or candy orange, with Suzuki’s two-year unlimited kilometer warranty.

    I think Suzuki have dropped the ball big time on this one. I much prefer the older M50 look. It was tough, rough & mean looking. I’ll be keeping my 2007 M50 for a long time I think. I love the black wheels and bat-wing rear fender.

    I agree, I like the older style better – the seat looks worse, so does going with the silver/chrome rims. Guess since they went with the generic look my model is going to stand out even more on the road…

    I looked long and hard back in 06 for the right first bike for me. I was 46 then and wanted that muscle cruiser look. I also wanted something that wasn’t too fast but gave me the v-twin rumble. The M50 was it.
    The Batwing rear fender, tear drop tank, drum rear brake, blacked out cast wheels along with liquid cooled, fuel injected and shart drive.
    It is my opinion that Suzuki has made a mistake here. The 2010 M50 will look like a munchkin version of the M109 or M90. I guess what they wanted was Daddy, Mommy and baby.
    Sorry Suzuki, I’m a fan having owned two of your M50’s even after owning Kawasaki’s, Harley’s and Star 1900cc Roadliner and Raider and I still came back and purchased the M50 2008 after having put 5100 miles on my 07 model.
    I think the fact is the M50 didn’t sell as Suzuki wanted it to so they thought a change was required.
    Too bad.
