Suzuki S40 BOULEVARD 2022 Parts & Accessories

Introduced in 2005 when Suzuki rebranded its entire cruiser motorcycle portfolio under a unified lineup name, the Suzuki Boulevard S-Series represented the continuation of Suzuki's classic lean chopper styling, inherited directly from the original Intruder and Savage families. Anchored by three core displacements—the entry-level S40 (formerly the LS650 Savage, featuring a 652 cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine with belt drive), the mid-weight S50 (formerly the Intruder VS800, powered by a narrow-angle 805 cc liquid-cooled V-twin with shaft drive), and the high-displacement S83 (formerly the Intruder VS1400, powered by a 1,360 cc air/oil-cooled V-twin)—the S-Series emphasized minimalist lines, high-riser handlebars, narrow front wheels, and classic chopper aesthetics.

Debuting in 2005 with the M50 and reaching flagship status in 2006 with the introduction of the M109R (VZR1800), the Suzuki Boulevard M-Series represents Suzuki's modern performance-cruiser category. Designed with aggressive styling inspired by GSX-R sportbikes, the M-Series—comprising the M50 (805 cc), M90 (1,462 cc), and M109R (1,783 cc)—combines high-output fuel-injected V-twin engines with performance chassis components. Highlighting technology derived from Suzuki's road-racing program, such as inverted front forks, radial-mount brake calipers, dual spark cylinder heads, and Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) cylinder plating, the M109R stands out as one of the most powerful production muscle cruisers ever built.
