Lunch over; it’s time to point the Suzuki C50 Boulevard toward Copper Mountain. I don’t have much time so need to make a little haste and stay in the saddle. No worries, I have a full tank of fuel, a comfortable perch and a willing engine. Add in some of the most breathtaking scenery America has to offer, and it looks as if I am in for a great afternoon.

If you are looking for a great mid-sized cruiser but don’t want to spend a King’s ransom then cruise on down to your Suzuki dealer and check out the new C50 Boulevard.  At $11,790 it is certainly one of the best deals going around in the mid-capacity cruiser class.
