In 2009, the Suzuki Intruder C800 (Boulevard C50) gets the SDTV dual-throttle injector, and in 2016, the final year is produced for Europe. Currently, the model is only available in the US market in two versions - Suzuki Boulevard C50 (spoke wheels) and Suzuki Boulevard C50T.
On the common base of the Suzuki Intruder 800 Volusia and Suzuki Intruder C800 (Boulevard C50), the version Suzuki Boulevard M50 (Intruder M800) was also created, which became the successor of ).
