SUZUKI Boulevard M109R (2008-2009) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2009, Suzuki launched the Boulevard M109R, a cruiser motorcycle that carried on the heritage and the appreciation earned from its first introduction.

On one hand, the bike packed massive power, torque, and road versatility, and on the other hand, it featured an aggressive, elegant, and modern style, which made it the flagship model of the Boulevard range.

In addition, the Boulevard M109R featured from head to tail Championship-wining GSX-R design cues, such as the rear end with styling from the Hayabusa model and on the front with its USD race-derived fork matched by racing braking performance.

The bike featured a streamlined headlight cover with a trapezoidal-shaped multi-reflector that dominated the front end, which provided one of the model's trademarks.

Onto the high-tensile double cradle steel frame, which comfortably handled the power and torque produced by the engine, there was a USD fork on the front and a cast-aluminum swingarm linked to a preload adjustable single shock absorber on the rear that provided smooth suspension and agile handling.

Attached to the suspension was a set of spiral-cast aluminum wheels fitted with race-derived brakes, such as two 310 mm discs with two-piston calipers on the front and a 274 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the rear.

In the performance department, the 2009 Suzuki Boulevard M109R took its thrust from a 1,786cc four-stroke V-Twin liquid-cooled fuel-injected engine designed for strong throttle response and quick acceleration. The bike delivered an output power of 123 hp at 6,200 rpm and 160 Nm (118 lb-ft) of torque at 3,200 rpm.
