In 2014, Suzuki launched the Boulevard M109R, a cruiser motorcycle that carried on the heritage of the model and was the same flagship engineered to dominate the streets.
While other makers were stressed out to fit the retro vibe on their machines, Suzuki made the opposite with the Boulevard M109R and turned it into a modern cruiser infused with a ton of authentic road racing DNA.
There may be some classic touch to the 2014 Boulevard M109R, but the machine was a monument of modern engineering, with a big, powerful V-Twin engine fed through a racing-derived fuel injection system and rolled on lightweight cast-aluminum wheels with the frame and suspension inspired by the Suzuki Championship-winning race heritage.
The 2014 Suzuki Boulevard M109R featured an advanced chassis that offered comfortable, agile handling and a smooth ride and also delivered unmatched performance through its V-Twin engine tuned for strong torque delivery right from the idle to the red line.
The M109R motorcycle featured a 1,786cc four-stroke V-Twin liquid-cooled engine that provided an output power of 123 hp with a peak at 6,200 rpm and 160 Nm (118 lb-ft) of maximum torque available at 3,200 rpm.
All that power traveled through a five-speed manual transmission and a shaft drive that spun the rear wheel, which was fitted with the widest tubeless tire ever mounted on a Suzuki motorcycle.
To match its classic cruiser look and strong performance, Suzuki fitted the bike with chromed exhaust pipes and mufflers that featured a Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) system for optimum engine performance and a deep rumbling V-Twin sound.
