2007 Suzuki Boulevard C90T
Summary:
Great buy, better value than a Harley with all the right looks
Faults:
The bike seems to have a short or bad connection in the starter. I have had at least three times where I have had issues where the bike would not start for a few minutes, but later turned over as it should.
The front fork seems shaky and Bumps are felt greatly.
The rear brakes are very loud.
General Comments:
This bike is a great ride all around. I live in the mountains of N. Carolina so I travel around a lot of inclined and declined corners. This bike can handle it well at 45.
The C90T is especially great on interstate rides. When I need to pass or just keep with a high speed flow, this bike has the means of getting it done. This bike is torqued more for high speed travel. At 85 miles an hour I have enough throttle for 80 more.
Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes

I noticed the same thing on the brakes of my 07 C90T. The rear brake sort of whined when it was brand new. That has not been as big of an issue lately, comes and goes.
I have never gotten 55 miles to the gallon either. My calculations come out to 49 miles to the gallon, which would also calculate the total mileage to 181.6 miles for the tank. I was getting over 55 with the 800 Volusia before I totaled it. I think that when they engineered the C90, they figured you would never go more than 150 miles or so before needing a rest. So that was good thinking. For people that live in Texas desert areas without a lot of gas stops near by, I would not recommend buying this bike without a reserve tank. you can get a 2.5 gallon reserve totaling your fuel intake to right around 6 gallons.
I really love the C90t though, it is a comfortable ride even for the big guy. I am impressed with my bike and the compliments it gets, as well as the comfort.
