The 2014 MY Boulevard C50 B.O.S.S. is about the closes you can get when mixing classic, neo-retro looks and modern technologies. All in all, you're putting your money down on a bike which may look like an old Brough Superior-derived beast, but laden with modern elements which add more sparkle to the build.


Of course, the B.O.S.S. livery makes everything look spectacular, as the combination of menace and sobriety is never outfashioned. Black wheels, a black engine with black covers, matte black exhausts, complemented by black frame, bars, switchgear and all, this Boulevard C50 B.O.S.S.has them all as standard.
