Suzuki Boulevard C 90 T
2018
2018
The 2018 Suzuki Boulevard C90T represented a compelling option in the cruiser segment, building on Suzuki's established Boulevard lineage. This touring-oriented variant of the C90 series aimed to offer riders a comfortable and capable machine for longer journeys. In its class, it directly competed with models like the Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic LT and the Yamaha V-Star 1300 Deluxe, offering a distinct V-twin proposition for riders seeking a traditional cruiser experience with added touring amenities.
At the heart of the 2018 C90T was a substantial 1462.0 ccm (89.21 cubic inches) V2, four-stroke engine. This large displacement unit produced 58.0 HP (42.3 kW) at a relatively low 4800 RPM, indicating its focus on usable torque rather than peak horsepower. The engine truly shone with its impressive 131.0 Nm (13.4 kgf-m or 96.6 ft.lbs) of torque, arriving even lower in the rev range at just 2600 RPM. This substantial torque output ensured effortless acceleration and relaxed cruising, making highway passing a confident affair. Fuel capacity was generous at 18.17 litres (4.80 US gallons), providing a good range between fill-ups.
Riding characteristics of the Boulevard C90T were dominated by its cruiser design. The low-slung seat, set at 720 mm (28.3 inches) (if adjustable, lowest setting), provided easy access for a wide range of riders and contributed to a planted feel at stops. The bike’s overall ergonomics were designed for comfort on extended rides, featuring floorboards and a wide handlebar. The touring designation meant it came equipped with a windshield and saddlebags, enhancing its long-distance capabilities and providing practicality for overnight trips. The V-twin rumble from the exhaust added to the classic cruiser appeal.
The 2018 Suzuki Boulevard C90T was ideally suited for riders who prioritize comfort, classic cruiser aesthetics, and the ability to cover long distances with ease. Its strong, low-end torque made for relaxed cruising, while the touring features added significant value for those planning road trips. This model appealed to seasoned cruiser enthusiasts and those looking to upgrade to a larger, more capable touring cruiser without venturing into the heavier, more complex touring bikes on the market.
