I have been comparing Bikes and trying to figure out which is right for me. I was looking at Suzuki’s and am having trouble comparing them. The things I am compairing are CC’s, weight, and length. I cannot figure out which one of these things can be translated into power or CC’s. I imagine it relates to compression ratio, but am mildly confused. Stupid metric, all that logic has no place in America! Anyone know the CC rating for The Suzuki Boulevard bikes?

Here is the full specs for the S50

On suzuki’s website, the 2009 specs for that bike show 805CC. Since 2009’s the last year in suzuki’s change cycle, you can probably assume the 2008 will have around 800CCs.

I love that I was nagging about Metric when Suzuki is the ONLY manufacturer to use standard. Oh the delicious irony, pardon me while I remove my foot from my mouth. Thank you for the input!

Please don’t feed the animal.

The number in the new Suzuki cruiser designations refers to cubic inches, so a Suzuki S40 has a 40 c.i. engine, an S50, a 50 c.i. engine, etc.

Go here to convert from cubic inches (c.i.) to cubic centimeters (c.c.):
