Suzuki offers two versions of its price-friendly Boulevard C50 cruiser platform in 2025, the base-model C50 along with a C50T Special, which sports a much more nostalgic style and tall windscreen ready to tackle some serious miles. The C50 will start at $9,299 while the C50T Special will carry a $9,799 price tag.

The C50T Special and its base-model sibling may be unchanged from previous editions mechanically, but the Special in particular is unique in that it has gone down in price since the last model we previewed, the just over $10,000 edition from 2022. Nothing to write home about necessarily, but a unique outlier in an industry that continues to see prices creep upward, even when models remain unchanged.
These bikes make use of an 805cc SOHC V-twin engine that utilizes Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve EFI and an Auto Fast Idle System. Power is managed by a constant mesh, wide-ratio five-speed transmission and maintenance-reducing shaft drive transmission. Both have a telescopic fork with 5.5 inches travel and a link-type rear shock with seven-way preload adjustment and 4.1 inches travel. There’s a hydraulic brake setup at the front and a drum brake at the rear. Forward-mount floorboards expand the feel of the cockpit and simple cruiser styling complete with plenty of chrome offers plenty of curb appeal to each machine.
The standard C50 will be available in a Solid Iron Gray paint scheme while the C50T Special will come in a striking Pearl Brilliant White.
