Suzuki, which enjoys considerable market share in a number of key motorcycle segments in the U.S. is seeking to build brand equity in the cruiser segment by continuing to leverage the popularity, sales and racing success of its GSX-R sportbike platform. The specially branded Suzuki Boulevard bikes are being engineered, developed and built with what Suzuki engineers are calling Suzuki DNA DNA: see nucleic acid. DNA

More than a line redesign, Suzuki Boulevard represents a whole new cruiser brand designed and manufactured exclusively for the U.S. cruising market, explained Mac Kato, president of ASMC Motorcycle/Marine Operations. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is one of the most important launches in Suzuki’s 41 years of selling motorcycles in the U.S.
Five 2005 Suzuki Boulevard models will hit showrooms in August 2004 — the S40, S50, S83, C50 and C90 — with more to come in 2005, including the signature M50 muscle machine. Suzuki has designated three separate cruiser lines as the basis for future line growth with specific product names reflecting not only engine size in cubic-inch displacement but also the style of the bike as well — the stylish S series, the C series featuring classic cruiser styling and the more-muscled M bikes.
Through extensive research of the U.S. cruiser market by Suzuki engineers, Suzuki Boulevard bikes accommodate American cruising enthusiasts’ demands for technological innovation, riding comfort, style and performance while incorporating the Suzuki DNA. To fully capture the American cruising lifestyle and complement its new cruiser brand, Suzuki is also launching Suzuki Boulevard Authentic Accessories, a full line of branded accessories and apparel designed to offer buyers maximum opportunity for customization and freedom of individual expression.
American Suzuki Boulevard cruisers and Suzuki Boulevard Authentic Accessories offer a whole new lifestyle — a new way to express individuality on the road and a new reason to explore the boulevards of America, added Kato.

Suzuki Boulevard Cruiser Line-up
Suzuki Boulevard cruisers demonstrate a new level of commitment to cruiser enthusiasts with a variety of models for riders of all ages and experience levels. These V-Twin machines, styled and engineered to capture the imagination of motorcycle enthusiasts across the country, mark the beginning of a new direction for V-Twin cruiser aficionados.
Since Suzuki understands each cruiser’s desire to choose his or her own bike, style and place in life — their own boulevard — the new line will offer variety right from the start. The S series, featuring stylish and sleek refinements of Suzuki-styled machines, includes the S40, S50 and S83. The C series features a more classic cruiser style in the C50 and C90 models.
And, later this year, the M series will deliver a more muscled performance image with the M50 and M95.

The Suzuki Boulevard S40 combines sophisticated cruiser style — rich paint, chrome rear-view mirrors and multi-reflector turn signals, separate hazard lamp and headlight passing switches — with legendary Suzuki performance and value.

The clean, sleek and low style of the S50 is accentuated by the flat handlebar, one-piece seat and multi-reflector turn signals, while custom-polished wheels, an abundance of chrome and stunning paint give the bike a custom look.
The 2005 Suzuki Boulevard S50 offers more than competitive models with many exclusive features, one of which has made similar Suzuki cruiser models consistently strong sellers — a custom color-matched frame for each two color options.
