Suzuki Boulevard M109r
The Suzuki Boulevard M109r has a top speed of 200 km/h (estimated; Suzuki does not publish an official figure), produces 127 hp and weighs 347 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.2/10.
De Suzuki Boulevard M109R werd in 2006 geïntroduceerd als een topmotorcruiser, met een enorme V-twin-motor van 1783 cc en daarmee een van de krachtigste productiecruisers van zijn tijd. Het kreeg een toegewijde aanhang vanwege zijn agressieve styling, rauwe koppel en prestatiegerichte karakter, waardoor hij zich onderscheidde van traditionele cruisers. De M109R is sinds de introductie grotendeels ongewijzigd gebleven, een bewijs van hoe goed het oorspronkelijke ontwerp was uitgevoerd, en wordt vanaf het midden van de jaren 2020 nog steeds geproduceerd.

Wat kopers moeten weten
Massive 1783cc Engine
The M109R's 1783cc V-twin is one of the largest displacement cruiser engines ever made, producing around 127 lb-ft of torque. This power-dense motor is built tough and rarely needs major work when properly maintained.
Watch the Stator
A known weak point on older M109Rs is the stator and regulator/rectifier, which can fail and leave you stranded. Buyers should inspect charging system health and ask about any electrical upgrades on used models.
Strong Resale Value
The M109R holds its value exceptionally well compared to most cruisers, largely due to its cult following and discontinued production status. Low-mileage examples often sell close to their original MSRP even years later.
Generaties en specificaties per jaar
Introductie van 1783cc V-twin, brandstofinjectie, 240 mm achterband, debuut in stevige cruiser-styling.
"Bruut, overbouwd en onbeschaamd buitensporig op de beste manier."
Die motor van 1783 cc vraagt geen toestemming — hij brengt je naar drie cijfers met een druk op de borst waardoor de meeste V-tweelingen zich in vergelijking beleefd voelen, en de brandstofinjectie op deze vroege fietsen is verrassend scherp voor 2006. De achterband van 240 mm ziet er absurd uit in de garage en rijdt voorspelbaar tot je hard naar het midden van de bocht duwt, waarbij de geometrie je straft als je vergeet dat dit een machine van 347 kg is, geen sportfiets. In de zomer is het warmtebeheer echt wreed: de binnenkant van de dijen koelt af en de radiatorventilator draait constant bij stoplichten bij iets meer dan 25°C. Maar als je hem op een open snelweg zet, als derde gas geeft, en bijna niets voor deze prijs voelt zo geplant of zo wreed snel aan voor een cruiser.
Pluspunten

Herziene gasklepbehuizing, bijgewerkte afstelling van de ophanging, kleine cosmetische verfijningen, verbeterde toewijzing van de brandstoftoevoer.
Bijgewerkte stijldetails, herziene kleuropties, voortdurende verfijningen; mechanisch vergelijkbaar met de vorige generatie.
Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"The cruiser that makes Harley owners quietly nervous at stoplights."
$6,500-$10,500 usedThe M109R is a serious machine that doesn't apologize for anything. That 1783cc V-twin makes stupid amounts of torque — we're talking 118 lb-ft — and it'll pull hard enough to genuinely catch you off guard if you're coming from something smaller. Suzuki built this thing to embarrass bigger-engined Harley cruisers, and it largely succeeds. Find a clean one between 2006 and 2012 and you're getting mechanically proven hardware that'll last forever with basic maintenance. That said, go into this with eyes open. The riding position is aggressive for a cruiser — forward controls combined with that low seat means tall riders get cramped fast. Heat management is genuinely terrible in summer traffic; your right leg will cook. And those fat 240-section rear tires look incredible but hunt constantly on crowned roads. Check for fork seal leaks and listen for any clunking from the final drive on test rides — both are common on higher-mileage examples. Overall this is one of the most underrated used values in the cruiser market right now.
