The 800 cruisers are America’s best-selling streetbikes, and Suzuki makes four 800cc (50 cubic-inch) V-twins, all using the same basic 805cc 45-degree, overhead-cam, eight-valve, shaft-drive V-twin. The engine was developed for the 750 Intruder in the 1980s. That bike carries on today as the chopper-style Boulevard S50 (formerly Intruder 800). Suzuki also has a musclebike-style machine, the Marauder, which is replaced in 2005 by the Boulevard M50.

Suzuki’s third 800, the bestselling Volusia, becomes the classically styled Boulevard C50. Suzuki also created a touring variation of the C, this C50T, which adds windshield, studded saddlebags, studded passenger backrest and wide whitewall tires. That equipment adds 25 pounds and raises MSRP by $1000 to $7799.

No surprise that the Volusia was Suzuki’s best-seller. Like it, the C50 is longer and roomier than other 800s with enough power to play with bigger cruisers. It accommodates passengers better than any other 800 twin and includes shaft drive, uncommon in this price-sensitive category.

The attractions of the Volusia remain in the new C50T with notable improvements. The Boulevard gets the same EFI technology found on Suzuki’s sportbikes with a 32-bit engine-control module. New full-size floorboards bring heel-toe shifting, another 800cc rarity.
