So far the fuel consumption from running RON 98 is about 28-30 km/L.

Is this considered high or average?

nice no. plate ...

any chance they will bring in the M109R (aka M1800R)?

[william_liu]

Well if you're willing to pay for the service, I'm sure any one of the major bike shops will be able to parallel import one into S'pore...

Hi everyone,

 

I just got a Suzuki Boulevard 400 from Loois.

Does anyone have the same bike?

 

I'm a complete noob to cruisers, so not sure what to do in terms of running-in and maintenance, especially since there's such a lot of chrome (both real and plastic) on the bike.

 

Any advice? Thks!

Today, I saw 2 Boulevard and 2 shadows (the shadows look like new models) in Loois. Are those 400cc bikes??? They look huge. The Boulevard looks a bit like Harley Davidson VRod. More roadster than cruiser!

I'm wondering whether hows the performance of boulevard 400 compared to shadow. the boulevard look really fierce. any riders here with new photos?

 

 

some photos from my research

Upz, sorry, gotto do this due to some idiot spamming

[hamsterblur]

Power and torque outputs are surprisingly similar for both the Boulevard 400 and the Shadow 400. According to the Suzuki and Honda japanese websites, both put out 32bhp and 24lb.ft. There is, however, a difference in weight. The Shadow is lighter, at 231kg dry weight, whereas the Boulevard is slightly heavier at 240kg.

 

Both bikes are never gonna win any drag race with SuperFours or sportsbikes, but for city riding and relaxed cruising, my Boulevard 400 copes comfortably, although I sometimes wished it had a bit more top-end.

 

In terms of riding dynamics, the Boulevard is more of a muscle cruiser, with sports tires and a steeper rake. In the end, it's all about personal preference - the Shadow's looks are those of a traditional cruiser with wire wheels and lots of chrome; the Boulevard is a cross between a cruiser and a streetfighter, with more muscle, a blackened out gearbox and chassis, and two slashed pipes.

 

Kan, are you thinking of switching to a Class 2A cruiser?

Hi who is Loois? Any website to share or number to call, please PM me. tks.

Thanks got it, went down during lunch today, quite a number of bikes around the sports bike looks very tempting too, anyways had a look at the Suzuki B4, looks better in person than on pictures.

 

Will check out a few more plus some bros here who are letting go thier rides. Hope to join the Cruiser family soon.

hey bros and sis, just started out doing mobile washing and polishing for bikes. Was wondering whether you all guys are interested. Pm me if you are keen.

[Echelon]

For bike saddles, I was just wondering, do people go and open it and take things from it? Thinking of getting it but worried about this point, any bros care to shed some light.

[plasticblackspecs]

[Garang]

Congratulations on your acquisition hamsterblur.

Hey hamster blur. What happened to you ah? Never see you on Fridays anymore

 

Must b busy lah bro.

[nights]

Is a freaking nice bike with freaking good FC.

 

I always like this bike.

Owner only need to customise the rear section and upper control change, will give the "wow factor look".

 

Sorry I lazy to read all posting. How much is this bike OTR price ?

 

It cost $14,000 OTR from Loois.
