Features

There’s a good reason so many road bikes in the ‘50s and ‘60s were big single-cylinder machines:
they’re incredibly fun to ride! The Boulevard S40 adds a shot of advanced Suzuki technology
to this timeless design to create a bike that combines exciting performance with rock-solid
reliability. One of the S40’s major attractions is its lightweight responsiveness—it’s great for
cruising down the boulevard or getting outside and beyond the city limits. Wherever you ride,
one twist of the throttle rewards you with a blast of low-end and mid-range torque. And when
you’re up to cruising speed, you’ll really appreciate the engine’s smooth performance. The
Boulevard S40 for 2011—it’s designed for you to enjoy the simple pleasure and pure excitement of motorcycling. New for 2011: The Boulevard S40 is available in two new color schemes:
Pearl Mirage White/Metallic Veil Silver and Metallic Fox Orange/Glass Sparkle Black.
Silver/White
Orange/Black
