2009 Suzuki Boulevard C50 SEC
The 2009 MY Boulevard C50 SEC builds on the Special Edition C50 and adds some touring amenities in the shape of the removable windshield, passenger backrest and leather saddlebags. The bike retains all the changes for the current model year, which include redesigned fenders and speedometer, plus a new LED tail light.
Of course, the two-tone/pinstripe color schemes have been retained, as well as the lush chrome details which make this middleweight cruiser a head-turner.
