Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 2011, 2012
The 2012 Suzuki Boulevard M109R Limited Edition, released by the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer, introduced an extra dash of style to Suzuki's flagship cruiser, with the thick racing stripe running from the front fender to the rear cowl, which was the most prominent element that set the bike apart.
The list of the Limited Edition motorcycle also included custom gauges, a clear lens taillight, bullet-shaped chromed turn signal housing with clear lenses, and a sporty solo seat complemented by a passenger cowl that was easily replaceable with a seat.
All the motorcycle parts were somehow connected to a high-tensile double cradle steel frame designed to handle the power and torque produced by the engine while still providing agile handling and a smooth ride.
For suspension, the bike packed a USD telescopic fork on the front and a cast-aluminum alloy swingarm bolted to a preload-adjustable single shock absorber on the rear.
As for power, the bike took its thrust from a 1,783cc four-stroke V-Twin liquid-cooled engine that featured a Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system that provided a strong throttle response and quick acceleration.
Also, the M109R Limited Edition motorcycle featured each cylinder coated with Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) that reduced friction and improved heat transfer, while the fuel was ignited with a dual spark plug system that enhanced combustion and reduced weight.
For an enhanced visual appearance, the bike came in a Metallic Triton Blue with Glass Splash White and Glass Sparkle Black with Candy Max Orange color schemes.
