SUZUKI Boulevard M90 (2009-2010) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2010, Suzuki released the Boulevard M90 model, a good example of how a big-bore machine should look and fill. It was a powerful bike that reached top speed with no significant effort and delivered crisp performance even on city streets due to its generous V-Twin engine that provided both power and torque in pretty much any place of the rev range.

The 2010 Suzuki Boulevard M109R was fitted with a Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system that offered low-mid smooth throttle response and high torque output, while the fuel was ignited by a dual spark plug system that increased combustion and fuel efficiency.

With a 1,462cc displacement, the four-stroke V-Twin liquid-cooled engine delivered an output power of 67 hp at 4,800 rpm and 115 Nm (84 lb-ft) of torque available at 2,800 rpm. Also, an automatic Idle Speed Control (ISC) system offered improved cold starting and stabilized engine idle under various conditions.

The slash-cut chromed exhaust system was designed to deliver a deep rumbling V-Twin sound and tuned for low-end torque output.

The bike offered a classic, rigid hardtail look with the rear shock absorber hidden underneath the bodywork and the raked-out inverted front fork that provided 130 mm of wheel travel. For braking performance, the bike packed two 290 mm discs with two-piston calipers on the front and a 274 mm disc squeezed by a two-piston caliper on the rear.

The flat-bend drag-style chromed handlebars offered a comfortable reach from the wide, long, well-padded seat over the tear drop-shaped fuel tank with integrated indicator lights.
