SUZUKI Boulevard C109RT (2008-2009) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2009, Suzuki launched the Boulevard C109RT, a motorcycle that came with an additional letter in the name that represented a touring-ready machine.

The Boulevard C109RT came with touring-focused amenities right from the crate, which included a large, adjustable windscreen that provided solid weather protection for the rider, seats and a backrest adorned with shiny metal studs, and a matching design for the leather saddlebags that featured the boulevard emblems.

The model had a high-tensile double cradle steel frame designed to handle all the power and torque while delivering agile handling and a smooth ride. On the front end of the frame, a 49 mm fork with thick chrome covers provided the suspension with 130 mm of wheel travel, while the rear was handled by a link-type aluminum swingarm with adjustable spring preload.

In the performance department, the engine rolled with forged pistons and dual spark plugs per cylinder and featured a Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system that provided a smooth low-mid range throttle response.

The 2009 Suzuki Boulevard C109RT took its thrust from a 1,786cc four-stroke V-Twin liquid-cooled engine that 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.

The hot gasses produced by the engine were evacuated through a two-one-two stainless steel exhaust system that featured the Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) system that provided optimum engine performance and a deep, powerful V-Twin sound.
