Boulevard S40
Suzuki's Boulevard S40 delivers a cruiser aesthetic in a light and affordable package — a 652cc single-cylinder engine (not a V-twin) in a 381-lb chassis with a 27.6-inch seat that is genuinely manageable for brand-new riders. Single-cylinder vibration is inherent and highway cruising is limited; this is a surface-street starter bike for riders who want the cruiser look at the lowest possible entry weight and price.
