The Suzuki Boulevard M109R is a Wild Cruiser That You Shouldn't Overlook! 

@eddielopez7272-I just purchased a 2024 one today. I haven't rode in 6yrs and i'm coming from riding supersports. How has this bike been for you? I have to get mine shipped from another state. Can't wait to get it. Coming from supersports these jokers are heavy.

@@antownemercer7552 It is a heavy bike but once your moving handles pretty good., you need to learn how to manage first gear., basically first gear is just to start moving and the second gear is the one to get you up to speed. when i make a full stop in traffic lights or stop signs, I stop in second gear then put it on neutral. I read a lot of comments about first gear on this bike, I guess is the way it was design.

It's a great motorcycle, old man. You'll be very comfortable and have a great time riding it.

I went with this Bike! I'm 50yrs old. It rides amazing and has all the giddy up, anyone would ever need. Took me a little bit figuring out how to turn it when going slow. The forward pegs make it a little different turning the monster. But once you ride it for awhile. It comes naturally, throwing your weight into it. It's fun it's big, and it will blow most sports bikes away!

Thanks for watching! What a great bike. I have to be honest, I've seen it online and just kind of glanced past it, but WOW, what a stunning bike in person, and what a powerhouse! Enjoy it!

How is the Suzuki on the highway. I am surprised it never was updated to have a 6 speed transmission.

@@PeterLoweOne It almost looks like Suzuki produced it to compete with the Harley V-Rod (which no longer is around) It came out in 2006 while the V-Rod was still being produced.

Interesting. It sounds like there may have been an issue. I haven't heard those complaints from others who have owned it.

Get your ECU tuned, you'll get smooth delivery all through 5th gear and also gain about 5hp. Thank me later...

You needed an ECU tune. The stock restrictions and power curve is bad compared to what it should be.

I definitely believe you get compliments. This thing looks amazing in person.

Yeah, I wish they'd update this, but I've been looking more at Harley too... no one else wants to make good cruisers. I've had my eye more on the Breakout, but have been looking at the Low Rider S too, its an awesome bike, I'm sure you'll love it.

@@AyaWetts Have a bunch of bikes, but when you get on this beast it transforms you into Mr. Hyde. Totally different vibe than my 4 bangers. Dual counter balancers on the big twin make it rowdy, but smooth.

It's tough for me to recommend a bike for someone just based on a RU-vid comment. You mentioned several bikes that you've tried but they each have a reason that you don't like them. I would say come up with a list of things that you want on a bike, and narrow the list down by cutting off things you don't need. No matter who you are, whether you're a new rider or an experienced veteran, choosing a motorcycle is going to be a compromise. So it sounds like you're looking at a lot of bikes. Try to find a few things that you like about one or two and see if there's anything else in that class for you to consider. That's the best way to help yourself with choosing. Finally, I see you posted the exact same comment 5 or 6 times on various videos. I'm hoping that you took the time to watch all the videos that you copied and pasted these comments into? Some will give you answers to the questions that you're asking. But there's no need to comment multiple times. I do my best to get to as many of the comments that I can. 👍

Is that the bike? The rider? Or something as simple as a gear shifter that is out of adjustment for a particular rider. Sometimes the solution is simple, but riders blame the bike.

It is a clunky box but that comes with the huge torque and size of the engine.Load shifting near eliminates any problems.

I'm 5' 7", it's the perfect height for me. Almost flat foot both feet.

I think people have great reasons to buy used or new, and if you're interested in this bike and want it, used or new, I encourage you to grab one!

@@PeterLoweOne I agree with you. I have purchased one brand new bike. The other 50 or so were bought used.. i simply love riding motorcycles. Great video. Thanks.

I believe this was a Suzuki Canada demo bike.

I'm sure the aftermarket would have plenty of bag options for this bike. What I don't have is any reliable information on how long any new vehicle will last. I study the information that's available for these bikes and nobody published any new vehicles life expectancy. 300,000 kilometers is a LOT for a motorcycle. I wouldn't expect your rear end to last on a single bike that long, forget about the bike lasting that long. 🙂 Have a chat with some owners, see what they have to say.

It's a 240/40R18M/C 79V - So the width is 240... absolutely bonkers wide. It doesn't show on video.

I can only assume that a bike like this wasn't a huge seller there? I'm guessing something this large, and in a cruiser style is less popular out there? That's my thoughts, but I don't know why manufacturers make the decisions that they make.

@@PeterLoweOne Emmisions related. A lot of nice bikes have disappeared due to euro 5 regulations.

@@David-uu3wq right. Euro 5. I was just thinking fuel injection and abs regulations. But Euro 5 ruled out a lot too. Thanks!

Big engined bikes like this battle with new emissions regulations across the world. It's not like you can use this engine in 5 high volume bikes. I think they feel that any money spent in re-engineeriing a bike like this may not return the same profit as focusing on higher volume models.

I don't think it needs a sixth year. That's an argument that you make on something with half the horsepower of this bike. Updates would be nice, but like I mention in the video, in a world where SUV's are having to have less displacement than this motorcycle, the engineering costs of tweaking this bike probably won't pay off in worldwide sales. This thing isn't going to be produced forever, so if people like it, buy it before it's gone for good.

@@PeterLoweOne It would be nice to keep the RPMs down for interstate speeds, while still having a good 1-5 for other times. This bike could easily be made into a good bike for longer trips. One like on the Vulcan Voyager/Vaquero, that 6th gear drops so low its really good for 70+. Companies are letting good cruisers like this die out though, so not sure if its a supply or demand thing.

@@AyaWetts I think you're forgetting that a 6th gear would probably be the same ratio as what 5th gear is now. It doesn't rev high at highway speeds as is, and a taller gear would likely require more speed, instead of delivering lower revs. I hear what you're saying, but this engine isn't like other engines in the class. It's got considerably more power.

I like the black, personally, but I can totally see what you're saying!

All that black is hard to keep looking clean. I know it's in style but to me it just looks cheap.

​@@PeterLoweOneI also love the black ⚫️ on the engine goes so well with the red. & the 700lb weight. When you ride a heavy bike 🏍 for good period. & Then get off it feels like you had been riding something. & Plus ➕️ this bike looks so good..!

I get that... this is just such a unique bike, and when you see it in person, it really stands out visually.

Super cool though!

That's why I love it! It just sits on the road...

I'm guessing that emissions regulations will prevent Suzuki from investing much more money into this bike. The fact that it still exists today is impressive. If you like a bike like this, grab it today. Don't expect a next generation.
