This is a great bike. I wish they still made a full size cruiser with this styling but it seems all the brands are discontinuing them unfortunately. The newer Harleys are very expensive and starting to look goofy in my opinion. Love the style of this one.
True.. I bought a brand new Suzuki Intruder C800/VL800 K9 in 2009 and have been riding it until 2020 (when I had to sell it). It was truly a superb bike and a perfect fit for me and all my preferences. So naturally, after a forced break (2020-2022) I wanted to buy another brand new one for the 2023 season - but to my displeasure I have found out, that in the meantime, these ceased to be imported and sold in the EU, due to a few really stupid emission norms imposed on us here. The only new cruisers I could buy were from HD, Indian or BMW, with the lowest price for a very basic version of any of these was around 15k EUR - and frankly, I liked none of the models visually or performance-wise and I really felt quite a lot of discomfort, when I tried a few out - and just to provide some context here, the models I'd go for (visuals + performance + comfort) started around 25k and their regular maintenance in a service center would cost me 5 times more than what I had with the VL800. So I said "screw this shit" and bought a carburetor-operated 2003 model of VL800 for 4k and then, later the same year, a 2007 Boulevard C90T for 6,5k. With all the accessories and maintenance and new tires for the VL800 (which is the EU version of the C50), I didn't even get to the 5k level - and the bike runs perfectly. I yet have to do the service check & maintenance on the Boulevard C90T (I plan to replace the OEM rectifier/regulator with a mosfet one and possibly replace the stator), but I can already tell, that the cost of all that for both bikes won't even reach the price of any afore-mentioned base models from HD or Indian or BMW. BTW my Intruder VL800 K9 never had any issues, never left me stranded and the only type of service done on it over the period of 11 seasons were regular service checks & maintenance - and the first time I had to recharge the battery was prior to the 2019 season. In this regard I wish the best of luck to HD and Indian and BMW owners and their bikes.
Great bikes.
If not marked, you don't need 91 octane fuel. That bad boy runs great on 87 octane. 91 octane burns slower and is for turbo charged, high compression engines, and engines with blowers. That bike will not run as well with 91 octane fuel. Don't let them steal your money because you think the higher octane is better fuel. You are wasting your money bud.
Because of the way the higher octane fuel works & after 11+ seasons with the VL800 I tend to disagree.. Typically, the higher the octane number, the better the performance AND it also prolongs the longevity of the engine, as it lowers the chance of spontaneous combustion, which may damage the engine due to knocking. In the EU, you typically get 95oct, but ocassionally, it's good to blow out the carbon by putting in a 98oct or 100oct gas. 92oct is the minimum I'd put in - and coincidentally, it's what they recommend in the manual.
Will it pass emissions test? Does it still have cat converter?
Still has the cat but we don't have the emissions test here in Arkansas so I don't se why it wouldn't with just a exhaust exchange..
Thats great to hear. I just bought it and in illinois it has to pass emmisions. I didnt know if it was catless or what. Thanks for the info bro
Mine Boulevard reminds me of my 1976 Buick Electra. Always dependable, starts up instantly, never a problem. Enjoy
So did your buddy get one after finding out the grand America was 30k?
Wish that annoying sound wasn’t coming through, I would of enjoyed this video a lot more. I noticed it stopped when you increased speed.
Right now he rides a harley and likes the bike he's on and if it was la little cheaper he definitely would switch over .. he found o e for about 22,000 in texas somewhere.. but still haven't been asked to go on a road trip...lol
2023? What’s the difference from 2021 ?
I got an 05, not the fastest bike but a very nice cruiser for around town and short to mid trips. Took me a little bit to get use to the heel to toe shifter but now I wouldn't have any other shift style.
😩 P𝐫O𝕞O𝓢m
Oh yes! Mystery found my honda!! 👍 i have so little leak,so i wondering it coolant leaking..
Was they’re and did the same ride, I was surprised to find I liked the version with mid controls better, considering I’m pretty tall I thought Ide be cramped, over all a cool bike
You need to go faster longer. I was at 117 on mine today and plenty of top end left.
Yea they say they will go 145.. will have to try next time...lol
The comments are better than the video 😂😂
Is that the same as the intruder 800?
Yes..size wise..
Intruder 800 may as well refer to the VZ800, which is a different beast (more chopper-esque). So you have to search for Intruder VL800 / C800 which is the EU designation of the US-labelled Boulvards C50.
Nice bike on Civicland!
Good riding to you sir. After years of supersport bikes, Purchasing my first C50 this week.
Hi, can you share with us your experience with your C50?
Mike from Elk Grove California age 63. You should be describing your ride to watchers.

how is it holding up a year later? i own a 2017 and i’m looking for mods
It still.looked and sounded good all the way till it was wrecked last month.. never started to rust. Seemed to be a good kit.. was told the if you want a good sound to do a catless downpipe..
Is that too much gear shifting noise or is it normal?
I've drove few of these boulevards and it sounds pretty normal...
@@bruboll74 yes I personally have one c50 and is completely normal, and it depends how you shift or your style of shifting, but great bike one of the best midsize cruiser on the market
@@bruboll74 your downshifting is crap,,blip the throttle when downshifting.
I own the same car, and not looking for anything super loud anyways. Does it drone on the highway (around 3k rpm)? Thanks
You ever end up getting it?
Itll sound so much better with a catless downpipe tho
Nice 👌 congratulations
Good gas will help but that bike is fuel injection and not carburetorated. It should clean the injectors though. Nice bike. 👍
yes i put in non ethanol high octane fuel in it for the first few fill ups to clean everything up and runs like new !!
that would be $5 to 6000 in Australia so 3 to 40 thousand USD... you guys are lucky with price - nice review
It pisses me off they don’t make it for sedan lol
I have the same exhaust on my 2020 Si but I also added PRL down pipe and front pipe which made it sound loud. I like how it looks on the car.
Got this exhaust at a good deal and plan to put a catted DP as well. Looking for good, loud-ish sound but minimal rasp-honda-scream as it is my daily driver. Do you have a sound clip of your setup? I would really appreciate it! Thanks you....happy driving!!
@@aerofox124 i do have a sound clip. How do I send it to you? I don’t see an option here.
How much louder than stock is it? Kind of hard to tell over the video since microphones tend to compensate a little when things get loud. Looking at this same exhaust for my 2018 Si
Not much louder than stock until your driving down the road.. a little more louder driving..
Stock downpipe ? I have the same exhaust coming .. currently catless combo
Yes stock down pipe...maybe new down pipe in near future..
@@bruboll74 nice I just installed mine with 70mm invidia front pipe and plm 3” catless and it’s deep 100% no rasp not even at wide open throttle
@@ashtonjohnson343 u should upload a video so I can here yours and compare how they sound.
@@bruboll74 I uploaded some I’ll do a sound clip outside the car soon
I got an 06 C50 a few years ago after 25 years without a bike. Had some preventive maintenance done, new Michilens. One thing to check is driveshaft splines, Suzuki has bad reputation for sending them from factories dry. You're going to love yours, I sure love mine.
I'll check the drives haft splined.. thanks for the info and drive safely my friend 🙂...
@@bruboll74 I saw one vidio where the guy pulled his out and got a palm full of rust, no good. Can't wait to ride this year. Hit the burger joints of my younger years. Good riding to you again.
Funny, i just got a c50 last month and its my first bike in 30 years. Had to ride 55 miles to get it home then 40 miles to get new tires. Sounds like we are doing the same adventure. Peace guys.
@@edrussell7960 I was lucky only about 3 miles to get it home. Not used to a heel-toe shifter didn't realize I was going through gears wanting to go slow home. Like gee, seems awful fast for 3rd gear. 100 mile round trip for Michilin Commander 2 tires. And dodged rain on way home, good riding to you too. Make sure driveshaft spline has lube, Suzuki has reputation of sending them out dry.
I have the same motorcycle, same year and colors , for about three years, 18,000 a few days back, and I honestly have to say is one of the best machines I ever had ,no problems no issues runs like a tank very strong motorcycle, enjoy your ride buddy, and ride safe
Sounds good 👍🏽
Thanks ...after driving it on the interstate fir a few hours it gets a little droonie but does have a better than stock sound..
The infamous backrest! Lol
That was a good day for a ride
i cleaned it with carb spray thencoared ut with the jbweld pushing it down in between the seal.. Then let it set to dry for 24 hrs . Had no more problems afterwards.. been driving scence with no problems.
Thanks for sharing this video clip. It would be helpful if it shows how did you apply JB Weld to stop the leak.
I had the same problem with my 2006 Honda Accord EX V6 Used JB to stop leak. I'm wondering if any of you had your transmission flushed at the dealer prior to this accurance as I did.
THE TRANSMISSION HAS A PAPER THIN GASKET THAT JUST GIVES OUT OVER TIME... WHAT I DID TO FIX IS CLEANED REALLY GOOD WITH BRAKE CLEANER AND USED JB WELD ON THE SEAM PUSHING IT INTO THE CRACK WHERE IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS LEAKING ..LET SET FOR 48 HOURS AND HASNT LEAKED YET ITS BEEN OVER YEARS..NO LEAK..JUST WHAT I DID ..OR A NEW TRANSMISSION IS WHAT I WAS TOLD TO FIX THE PROBLEM
Which seam did you seal with JB welds?
My car has been the same dam thing and two mechanics were paid to fix it bid didn't. Thought I could feel a little crack.
Hello from Bulgaria! I have the same problem with my 2000 Accord coupe 3.0 V6. Is there any good decisions for this problem. I am thinking to replace the gasket. I replaced the o-rings and the leak is still there. Thanks!
Where you having a leak underneath the transmission towards the back , I have the same thing , what is the verdict ? Is it the fittings loose did you need to replace a gasket or o-ring ? Let me know ? Thanks
IS THERE LIFE ON MARS?
Exactly!!!
WDF
Just had the same problem. Thought it was leaking from the banjo crush washers, replaced them but it was still leaking. Turns out the leak was coming from between the transmission cases. I could see it come out right by that banjo bolt. Used JB Weld to seal it up, no more leak. If the car ever needs a transmission anyway I'll just sell the whole car for parts as it's not worth replacing to me.
where was it leaking from?
I was wondering if you found out where your leak was comming from?My car just started doing the same thing.
Ya my car too. 9 yrs later.
