IT’S NOT EVILIT JUST LOOKS THAT WAY

0800 SUZUKI | WWW.SUZUKI.CO.NZ

The Boulevard M90 is a chrome laden muscle bike that looks like it means business. But this imposing looking machine is actually deceptively rider-friendly. Its fuel-injected 1500cc V-twin rumbles contentedly, delivering a healthy amount of torque across the entire rev band. With a fat rear tyre and smooth, predictable handling, the M90 is easy to ride and eminently enjoyable – the way a good cruiser should be.

Test ride it today and you’ll see – it looks bad, but its behaviour is impeccable.

The Boulevard M90K9 $16,995 +on road costs.
