The ladies will be able to appreciate the vibration caused by a single cylinder.

if you're looking for a more simplistic bike then yes they are it. cheaper to repair and to maintain. personally i like the rc51 that honda makes, it's a v-twin but, really it's just a torque machine.
the boulevard is awesome rode a friend of mines and it rides like a champ. but for now i'm gonna stick with my rice burners and switch alittle later.
take is easy ride safely!

The advantages are simplicity (one of everything), narrowness (the bike is one cylinder wide), steady power delivery, lightness. For these reasons most dirt bikes are singles. On a cruiser it makes the engine look bigger.
The main reasons people are attracted to singles are emotive issues associated with the noise and vibration. Singles also have, of course, a very long heritage in the world of motorcycling.
Singles have a technical ceiling on their performance because of the piston speed (the actual velocity of the piston itself, which has to travel in a long sweep up-and-down compared with the two pistons on a twin, each travelling half as far). The other limitation is the burn time, how long it actually takes the fuel air mix to burn: the flame front has to go from the spark plug to the edge of the cylinder, and this is a greater physical distance on a single.

One cylinder engine has 1 carb or EFI unit, 4 valves, a cam or two and spark plug. Its far less maintenance and when you need a rebuild its going to be heaps cheaper. It also has more power per 1000cc because there is more brake horsepower by less moving parts.
The engine works less to move the less parts.

I am looking at a Suzuki Boulevard, it has a single cylinder 600cc engine. Obviously a dual cylinder produces more power than a single cylinder, but what
else differentiates them?

Less moving parts.
One carburetor, no synchronization needed.
They feel different.
