This model is part of a series of bikes developed under the “Low Long Strong” styling concept as a counterpoint to the traditional chopper styling of mainstream American bikes. This styling concept expresses both speed and stature with individualistic features, such as flat handlebars, a wide fuel tank, and broad, powerful inverted front forks seamlessly integrated onto an imposing and rugged body with a low, long, and wide stance. The Desperado X model in the same series is equipped with both a bikini cowling and an under cowling to create an aggressive image at the front end. The 400 cm³ liquid-cooled SOHC V-twin engine delivers a powerful yet relaxed ride. The tread pattern on the extra-wide tires fitted to this model features a distinctive fireball pattern.

Designed to project a sense of unobtrusive luxury, the Desperado Winder is a highly refined and elegant cruiser. It combines a glossy black paint finish that showcases the smooth beautiful curves of the fuel tank, front and rear fenders, and air cleaner cover with matte black decal accents on the fuel tank and engines cover parts applied via a special crystallization treatment. The muffler, headlight cover, and a wide range of other parts are styled in eye-catching chrome silver. The Desperado Winder is equipped with a 400 cm³ SOHC V-twin engine that generates an acceleration sensation full of torque and power from the lowest revs right up to the mid- and high-rpm ranges.

Named after the English word for a broad avenue, the SUZUKI BOULEVARD 400 is a unique, sporty American-styled cruiser for urban riders that was designed as the successor to the Desperado. With its low forward-swept handlebars, long stretched out fuel tank, and upswept bobtail rear fender, the low-slung body lines of the 400 creates a strongly futuristic impression. Every aspect of the styling features individualistic touches, including the oval multi-reflector headlight and white-lensed LED taillight. The powerplant is a powerful and easy-to-handle fuel injected 400 cm³ V-twin SOHC engine with excellent startability and fuel economy. The front and rear boast impressively sporty and lightweight aluminum diecast wheels.
