SUZUKI Boulevard M109R (2011-2012) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2012, Suzuki launched the Boulevard M109R, a true classic machine that incorporated Suzuki's flagship philosophy: "To have power and torque on tap from the lowest revs to the redline while providing a plush ride in consummate style."

Powered by the mighty 1783cc liquid-cooled V-Twin engine that brought to life all the big-bore Hamamatsu's bikes, the Boulevard M109R also introduced technologies derived from the Championship-winning GSX-R sports bike, such as the USD fork and racing-grade radial brake calipers.

The Boulevard M109R was the most powerful cruiser ever built by Suzuki with its massive engine fitted with the race-proven Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system that provided massive power and torque.

Also, the engine packed the largest pistons ever used in a production motorcycle at the time, which featured the Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) coating that reduced friction and enhanced heat transfer while the fuel was ignited by a dual spark plug system which offered better combustion end fuel efficiency.

As for power, the M109R model delivered an output power of 123 hp with a peak at 6,200 rpm and 160 Nm (118 lb-ft) of maximum torque available at 3,200 rpm.

The 2012 Suzuki Boulevard M109R featured a high-tensile double cradle steel frame that housed a USD telescopic fork on the front and a cast-aluminum alloy swingarm bolted to a pre-load adjustable single shock on the rear.

The bike rolled on a set of spiral-spoke cast-aluminum wheels dressed in Dunlop tires and featured two 310 mm discs with a couple of two-piston calipers on the front and a single 274 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the rear which provided the braking power.
