Suzuki Boulevard 400 is produced from March 18, 2005 to 2016 inclusive for the Japanese domestic market.

The model was based on the base from the older export version Suzuki Intruder M800 (Boulevard M50) with a simpler carburetor engine from Suzuki Intruder VL400 Classic. The Suzuki Boulevard 400 model positions itself as a replacement for the outdated Suzuki Desperado 400.

The Suzuki Boulevard 400 engine is a 2-cylinder V-block, liquid-cooled, 399 cc. see, issuing 33 hp. power and 33 Nm of torque. The maximum performance of the motor is reached at 6000-8000 rpm.

Major generations of Suzuki Boulevard 400:

  • 2005-2009 - first generation.
  • 2010-2016 - the second generation.
