2012 Suzuki Boulevard M109R Limited Edition Review

Looking for a power cruiser that will get your adrenaline flowing? You’ve come to the right place. The Suzuki Boulevard M109R Limited Edition combines unique styling and exhilarating performance. Their unrivaled capabilities, born of Suzuki’s championship-winning race heritage, have made them leaders in their class. Each bike’s awesome performance begins with a 109-cubic-inch, fuel-injected V-twin engine. It’s tuned to produce massive torque all the way from idle to redline, which translates into acceleration that you have to feel to believe. The big V-twin also produces a throaty, aggressive exhaust note that identifies the M109R as a power cruiser beyond compare.

The M109R Limited Edition features a sporty racing stripe, custom gauges and tailight, and a uniquely styled seat.

For 2012 the M109R Limited is availabe in new Metallic Triton Blue/Glass Splash White and Glass Sparkle Black/Candy Max Orange.

Gorgeous styling and V-Twin power with close to 900cc per cylinder, sets the pace for this stunning performance cruiser. Not unexpectedly, the V-Twin engine produces effortless power and torque from near zero revs to impress those who love the performance to match the sheer style of this form of fun motorcycling. Low down power, blistering acceleration and open road cruising with a sporting feel are all part of the magic formula.

The double overhead camshaft fuel injected engine with four valves per cylinder and two massive 112mm pistons produces 160 Newton metres of torque at just 3,200 rpm and is regarded as a technical achievement. With a silkily smooth five-speed transmission, shaft final drive and an outstanding chassis and running gear, it sets the standard for the genre.

A stiff mainframe with progressive rear suspension, robust and plush GSX-R derived upside down front forks and big disc brakes allied to race developed radial calipers provide outstanding stability, ride comfort and braking power. With style to match the performance – the beautifully sculpted headlight cowl, fuel tank, seat and the twin chrome exhausts exiting on the right completes the impressive specification.

For those in the UK – The Beast’s Big Brother

The 2012 Suzuki Boulevard M109RZ represents a welcome addition for those hooked on the M109R’s muscular powerplant and awesome performance, but seeking something more distinctive in style and appearance.

The M109RZ is dressed in a standout blue colour scheme with a white centre stripe. Other details include black mag wheels and clear indicator lenses.

The 2012 Suzuki Boulevard M109RZ is the most powerful cruiser Suzuki has ever produced. The all-new liquid-cooled 1,783cc engine featuring four valves per cylinder and SDTV digital fuel injection gives you all the power you need, when you need it.

This monster packs the largest engine pistons of any production car or bike on the planet. Each of the huge 112mm forged aluminium-alloy pistons use short skirts and cutaway sides to reduce friction and provide the rider with raw, unstoppable muscle.

The Boulevard means business in every way.
