| 08-10-2012 at 01:00: Brand New Boulevard to Cruise In | |
|
Unveiled to the world’s media in Germany last week the, C1500T as its known in Europe, Boulevard C90T is a powerful combination of long-range touring features and advanced Suzuki technology, all wrapped in a classic cruiser styling package. The C90T continues the Suzuki Boulevard tradition of head-turning good looks, but this time with a difference. Completely blacked-out with a black engine and pipes, all-black wheels and fully inked-over details, the Boulevard C90T makes a statement that is as appealing as it is dark and dominant. The brand new C90T is the first Suzuki Boulevard to feature a factory-fitted hard side case, with the saddle bags made of durable, impact-resistant ABS plastic under stylish covers custom-matched to the seats. Designed as part of the bike and not as luggage add-ons, the saddlebags feature wide-opening covers for easy entry and can be unlocked with the ignition key. Also standard on the Suzuki Boulevard C90T is the windscreen which has been positioned and designed to provide ample wind protection and minimum wind buffeting without distraction. Deriving its name from ‘T’ for touring and its 90 cubic inch engine, the most powerful in its class, the Boulevard C90T’s, 1,462cc long-stroke, liquid-cooled, eight valve V-Twin engine delivers the best blend of power, efficiency and torque for comfortable, long-range cruising. The clutch features a back-torque limiter with a ramp-and-cam system derived from sport bikes, which produces smooth downshifts and precise upshifts, with the Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) ensuring clutch operation remains light. The C90T features a dominant 200mm width rear tyre wrapped around a seven-spoke aluminium wheel. Providing ultimate comfort Suzuki’s engineers shaped the Boulevard’s seat to allow riders freedom of movement, not locking them into one position, able to accommodate riders of different sizes to reach the handlebars and footboards comfortably. Perfect for cruising, the Boulevard C90T has an 18-litre fuel tank and a low riding position with its seat cushioning chosen specifically for long-distance comfort and support. Easily visible above the fuel tank, is the Boulevard C90T’s multi-function instrument package highlighted by a large analogue speedometer, which is complemented by a gear-position indicator, fuel gauge, clock, trip meter and indicator lights. The Boulevard C90T will bring the Suzuki Boulevard range to a total of six models when it arrives in Australia in January 2013 for a Recommended Price of $17,490. |
