SUZUKI Boulevard C109R (2007-2008) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Boulevard C109R was a bike introduced in 2008 by the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer as a V-Twin engined cruise, while at the same time the model was sold in Europe under a different name, such as the Intruder C1800R.

The 2008 Suzuki Boulevard C109R was the classic interpretation of the M109R that featured modern lines and came with more retro-styled elements such as a different set of wheels, a more rounded fuel tank, a round chromed headlight, and deeper fenders.

With its own identity established, the bike featured pulled-back handlebars and forward-mounted floorboards that provided a spacious riding position complemented by the slash-cut exhaust system designed for a deep rumbling sound.

The key element that attracted the most on the Boulevard C109R was the same V-Twin engine with the race-derived fuel injection system used by the M109R, which provided the bike with its own power characteristics, such as more torque in the low-rpm range and powerful acceleration.

The 1,786cc four-stroke V-Twin liquid-cooled engine delivered an output power of 123 hp with a peak at 6,200 rpm and 160 Nm (118 lb-ft) of torque available at 3,200 rpm.

For suspension, the bike packed a 49 mm fork with thick chromed covers for a stylish new look on the front and a link-type aluminum suspension on the rear that created a hardtail look.

As for braking performance, the cast-aluminum wheels were fitted with two 310 mm discs with two-piston calipers on the front and a single 274 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the rear.
