Boulevard M109R: First impression


The R suffix in the biggest Boulevard's designation, that little headlight fairing, and the seat cowl all hint at sportbike thinking, but the engine is where the advanced sportbike technology actually shows up.


Most impressive is the power on tap with the slightest twist of the right wrist ... Perhaps the next most impressive feature of the 109 is the absence of vibration.

The injection system has an idle speed control feature that allows it to warm up smoothly and idle smoothly under varying conditions.


The pistons are a 4.4 inches (112mm) across, which, according to Suzuki, makes them "the largest reciprocating engine pistons being used in any production passenger car or motorcycle on earth."


The Boulevard M109R's chassis reflects a sportbike's influence as well and what sets the M109R apart, though, is its headlight nacelle, a feature of the bike since early design sketches.


Suzuki has definitely target the performance big-twin segment and its claims are true, it should have no trouble laying claim to that title.
