  • I take out a SUPER-CLEAN low mileage 2018 Suzuki Boulevard C90T for a quick ride and give you my thoughts on this 1500cc Metric Cruiser! I went into this ride with LOW expectations and came away from the experience genuinely surprised.

    I have three bikes at present - Kawi Mean Streak (1500), Suzuki 1400 and a C90. It's my second C90. I bought my first C90 in 2012, second hand for C$ 3000. In 2014 I did an 80 day, 43,000 km (26,000 mi) ride to nearly every capital city in Canada and the USA. The longest day ride was 1200 km in just over 16 hours (Whitehorse YK to Hazelton, BC). The bike was so comfortable I ended the day with no discomfort. The total distance for the summer was 55,000 km (~34,200 mi.) Bear in mind our riding summer in central Ontario is about seven months. In 2015 I took the bike to Europe for 70 days (24,000 km). The bike behaved beautifully both trips. I highly recommend the C90.

      @@garretts3619 No modifications or add-ons of any kind. The seat was very comfortable; the handle bars and foot pegs were well placed. No GPS, radio, fairing; just a bare bones bike.

      That’s remarkable. I’d need highway legs for sure or my legs get cramped.
      Wicked ride, glad you toured Canada 👍

    I have had a c50 before, now I have a c90t. Love the shaft drive bikes. So much smoother than my old belt driven machines.

    I've always liked the Boulevard models. A friend of mine has a C50 and then later he got a C90. Both were nice and smooth.

    Bought a 2013 with 3800 miles on it and have a hard chrome side burner pipe and it’s definitely a great bike. 45-50mpg on it and overall it’s an amazing bike. Got it for under $6k and was a great deal with all the stuff on it

    I have two '99 1500 Intruders, that new model looks SO much better, but still almost the same. The bags and exhaust looks especially good. Does it have 130 or 150 section front tire? The first gen has a 150 front tire and I replaced it with a 130 because I wanted Michelin Commander III and there were no 150 wide. It actually makes the bike handle even better in the corners, but it upsets the front easier. If i release the handle bars a few seconds and I run over a bump in the road it starts oscillating.

    Compared to mine this looks different.. My 2007 C90T has the old-school mid-fake-tank fuelling entry, preventing me from covering it up with leather - here it follows the C50 or C109 example (which I like). Is the upper tank still a fake?
    In addition to that - is the battery still down at the front (beneath the oil-cooler)?
    Also, I can't really see any (miniscule) opening on the left bottom side of the bike (for the air to cool-down the regulator/rectifier) - has this part been moved someplace else?
    Lastly, my bike lists 150/80-R16 M/C 71H front and 180/70-R15 M/C 76H rear tires - but I have heard newer models swicthed to 130 and 200 ones.. Is it so?

    I can't believe this bike hasn't sold yet. I just checked the website. I have a 2016 and it's a great bike, but I bought new. Your price is so low I didn't expect to see it still on the lot.

      Yeah... I'm surprised as well. Although there is a guy that wants it. Might be gone next week. 🤷‍♂️🤞 Thanks for watching!

    when anyone says its not that bad means it has a level of bad in it.

    Sadly, this guy typifies and actually manages to take the level of ineptness all too prevalent in YT content providers to another level.
    Why is it so difficult to actually organize your thoughts, the salient points you believe merit consideration and present them in a coherent manner? A child might very well communicate more effectively.
    There are some people who consistently offer up entertaining, informative and well executed bike "ride and review" videos...this guy isn't among them. A waste of time.
