Suzuki’s 2013 cruiser lineup will include the new-ish C50 and M90 Boulevards.
Of course, the M90 has been offered before, as a mid-sized cruiser between the C50 and M109, but it had been dropped from the lineup. It’ll have similar styling to the M109, a 1462 cc motor with liquid cooling, and will be available in black or grey.
The bike will have EFI and a five-speed transmission. Curb weight is 723 pounds.
The C50 model hasn’t been tweaked much visually; Volusia owners seem to think the main difference is revised transmission gearing.
And, somebody in Suzuki’s marketing department finally figured out that the Gladius’s name was just unsuitable for a motorcycle. They’ve renamed it; now it’s the SFV650.
Geez, I thought it was “Gladys” and was supposed to sound like a soul singer.
723 pounds. Ship anchor. Who cares.
They’ve also retained and upgraded the long-lived and much loved LS650 (S40 boulevard) … now has EFI!!! OK Suzuki time to follow Ryca Motors lead and introduce a TU650X with the LS650 motor!
