    I just wish Suzuki could get their ass into gear to add ABS, because we can't get these new in NZ anymore without it. Im riding a 2007 M50 now, and love it. Would love to upgrade to its much bigger brother, the 109.

    I want one of these bikes sooooo bad. I currently have the Honda Shadow Spirit 1100 VTC but I like the look of this bike soooo much more. Don't get me wrong, the 1100 runs like a scalded dog, but I'm 6ft 2 and like the forward controls on the M109R. If I could get a payment cheap enough, I would trade my Honda for this Suzuki in a HEARTBEAT!!!

    I own a 2009 Suzuki boulevard C109RT. It has the same 109 cu powerplant just with the classic cruiser look and tuned to have 15% more torque and it weighs 900 lb it comes with a 240 mm rear tire as well as the M109. I test rode an M109 and I was really disappointed because the power felt alot weaker than I was used to with my C109RT. Ive gotten up to 135mph and still had acceleration power to spare

    Hot dang, I have been waitin' for a feller who talks like me. I'm from Georgia and I love the Suzuki M109. Now, there's a Japanese company called Tsukayu that offers a fairin' for the front with a windshield on it. They also have hard bags for tourin'. The only thing I wish it had is cruise control. Full gear wearin' is for yankees what don't ride in the high heat. I don't wear all that gear either.

    This bike is absolutely beautiful. One of the most beautiful I've ever seen. But it's quite difficult to ride. No traction control or even ABS (I mean COME ON !). It doesn't help the rider in any way. I chose the Honda Rebel 1100. After a few modifications it's much faster than literally all the HDs and this Suzuki too, and oh so easy to ride..

      @WaldoWizard 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      the raider is a 3 hole oil change , also air cooled , so if you're in a hot part of the country like me , that's not a good thing. The Vmax is awesome but they don't get good gas mileage and run on premium gas. There's something good to say about all of them . The valkyrie is tough to work on , ie, air filter change is a PITA .

      I totally agree with you guys on the cruise control but that's an easy fix buy the aftermarket cruise control for your throttle works perfect.
      I don't really care about the sixth gear situation You got to remember one thing about the bike The reason why it has a dry clutch no six gear shaft driven is because it was engineer and made perform in a certain way changing certain dynamics of the bike will change the bikes overall performance no matter what it's a nice machine.

      Oooo i see we've struck a nerve 😂 The VROD makes 125hp, and M109R makes 130hp. So no, its not more powerful. The VROD is BARELY faster due to weight ratio. The Pan America isnt even a cruiser, so that's another reach. The 131ci isnt a stock engine, its a factory upgrade that costs a lot. Not to mention, a stock 131 makes a sad amount of horsepower unless you tune it and void warranty. Less than 130whp from the 131ci stock.
      So yes, the M109r literally kills every Harley cruiser that is out right now, stock for stock. If you tune the M109R, you're not touching it with a Milwaukee 8 unless you cam it out.

    I had the M109r2. The one with the small headlight. I don't remember the year. Recently I've been shopping for a used Harley Sport Glide (2021, no longer sold in the USA). The Harley prices are ridiculous. I'm really temped to go back to the 109. I just wish Suzuki added cruise control and ABS. I know - it will never happen. Once Suzuki hits on something all they do is change the paint (e.g., DR650, Vstrom 650 etc.).

      They're very similar engine configurations, but the M109R has a larger bore and a shorter stroke than the VTX!

    I do not wear full riding gear either because I feel more comfortable riding without all of that crap and if the windshield blocked the wind better I would not wear a helmet. I only wear a helmet and gloves because of the wind when I use to ride. I had the 2014 M109r Boss which was black and yellow. I wonder if the new M109r's have had any updates to them since the? or if it is still the same motorcycle just different colors. It is a great motorcycle. And I am retired and 65 and would not mind having one again. Harleys are junk and overpriced.

      No updates from what I read and the crazy thing 2024 has only one color available …black. I owned two m109s. Had the blue/white 2012 and still kicking myself for letting it go. I’m torn now between a fat boy anniversary or a new m109. I know the price gap is insane but I’m getting old and this will probably be my last bike. Only issues with my 109’s? The first one had the well known tranny issue shifting 1st to 2nd. The second 109? No issues and the shaft drive rocks no chain or belt to mess with. If your 225lbs or more I would get a softer seat and remember it looks best as a one seater so unless you figure out a way to haul around the buddy seat and the removable fiberglass when buddy seat is installed you will be screwed if you run into a special person who wants to ride with you while you’re out cruising. Personally I don’t like the liability of a passenger on my bike so the buddy seat gathered a lot of dust. Just wish Suzuki would update something! I know they are aware but they just sit on their half moons. They’ve had so many combinations of black that I wonder how many of those parts just roll over year after year.

      How is the "shaft jacking" under acceleration? That's a common complaint with shaft drive bikes and probably the reason the test rider kept saying he could "feel the torque"...
      Sure is a "looker" though - Enjoy!

Like riding a big Ole couch down the road! But if you wanna Drag race a sports bike, it's good at that too! Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine ✌️

    Gorgeous bike. My father had a Honda vtx 1800 and a Rune. Both were big bikes and as a big guy myself I prefer it over smaller. I was looking into a Honda 1800 but leaning toward the m109r.

    It’ll kill its own ride too.
    I own a m1800r and a DYNA Lowrider s.
    The M is a very dangerous bike.
    You should take it out when it’s damp.
    And I actually like them. But they’ll even hurt a very experienced rider. Part of the excitement of riding a M is trying to not die. But you know best you borrowed one for 10 minutes. I’ve only used one has a club bike and rode one through 10 European countries.

      every now and again.
      the M feels it’s on ice.
      I seen about 8 m1800’s bouncing down the road. mine landed on top of me it was on top of my head dragged me across 3 lanes lanes of oncoming traffic.
      So you must think can I ride a bike. I raced motocross when I was 12. Enduro, grass-track. Super moto. I’ve been involved in super stock. super bike and TT and BSB and overland. Just done winter testing. Then you’ll think what crazy thing was I doing to get badly hurt. And I was badly injured. Well I put the brakes on, I felt the tyre locking up the 600lb bike was pushing through the brake. I backed off the brake but was heading to a junction I had to brake again a lot of back brake too I started to watch the front tuck under / low side. And nothing I could do when 600 pound has that momentum you along for the ride. Has I said it jammed my head underneath the bike and then dragged me with my leg that was stuck on something underneath the bike. When a big Suzuki M109R let’s go it’s like a big Rig on ice but with two wheels. Compared to my Lowrider s dyne it’s a piece of shit. Gearbox is shocking the shaft jams and it has plastic chrome.
