In 2011, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Suzuki Boulevard M109R, which still was a stunning superbike technology-infused cruiser that provided an exhilarating riding experience for those riders who were not afraid to push the limits.
By injecting the M109R with a potent shot of race-proven technology that came right from the Champinship-winning GSX-R sports bike, Suzuki literally redefined the concept of a cruiser motorcycle.
The Boulevard M109R was the most powerful cruiser ever manufactured by Suzuki, which featured the largest pistons ever used on a production motorcycle and delivered strong torque right from the idle to the red line.
Also, the bike wore race-proven suspension and brakes that came right from the Championship-wining sports bike, with an inverted fork on the front and a cast-aluminum swingarm bolted to a pre-load adjustable single monoshock on the rear, while the braking power was handled by two 310 mm discs with two-piston calipers on the front and a 274 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the rear.
In the power department, the 2011 Suzuki Boulevard M109R had its heartbeat set by a 1,786cc four-stroke V-Twin liquid-cooled engine that provided the cruiser with an output power of 123 hp at 6,200 rpm and 160 Nm (118 lb-ft) of torque at 3,200 rpm.
Right from the factory, the bike rolled on a set of spiral cast-aluminum wheels shod with Dunlop tires, and on the rear side, the bike featured the widest tire ever used on a Suzuki motorcycle.
