Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 2007, 2008
The Boulevard M109R was a cool, classic-looking motorcycle with a modern allure, but as if that was not enough, in 2008, Suzuki decided to deliver two Limited Editions models for the U.S. and Canadian markets.
The model destined for the U.S. market wore a Blue color scheme, while the Canadian brother was dressed in a Yellow livery. One difference between the base model and the limited edition bike was in a racing stripe that ran from the front fender through the headlight housing and fuel tank down to the tip of the rear fender.
However, there were more Limited Edition elements on the bikes than the paint, such as the checkerboard background of the instruments, clear-lens turn signals, LED taillight, plus a textured seat to match the exclusive attire of the 2008 Boulevard M109R Limited Edition.
The bike rolled from the factory on a set of spiral spoke cast aluminum wheels with an 18 inches unit on the front and a massive 18 inches wheel on the rear with a wide 240 mm Dunlop tire. The wheels featured race-proven braking performance, such as radial-mounted four-piston calipers with 310 mm discs on the front and a two-piston caliper with a 275 mm disc on the rear.
As for power performance, the 2008 Suzuki Boulevard M109R Limited Edition had its heartbeat set by a 1,786cc four-stroke V-Twin liquid-cooled engine with forged aluminum alloy pistons that featured Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) plating which reduced weight and size while improving heat transfer.
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. All that power was converted into a deep rumbling sound by a stainless steel chromed exhaust system tuned for optimum engine performance.
