Suzuki’s Boldest Boulevard M109R Is Here!

10th January 2008

Challenging the boundaries of conventional cruiser design with its innovative futuristic styling and 1800cc performance engine, Suzuki’s latest Boulevard M109R muscle cruiser is bolder than ever in new Candy Max Orange paintwork.

“Revitalising the cruiser market, the Boulevard M109R made a bold statement when it was first released two years ago, but now adding a vibrant new colour option, Suzuki’s most powerful performance cruiser stands out from the crowd more than ever before,” Perry Morison, General Manager, Motorcycles, Suzuki Australia said.

The Boulevard M109R is equipped with an enormous 1,783cc (109 cubic-inch), liquid-cooled, DOHC, fuel injected, V-Twin engine designed to produce masses of power, responsive torque and mind-blowing acceleration.

Using race-proven technology to reduce friction, the massive 112mm bore and 90.5mm stroke features huge 112mm forged aluminium-alloy pistons that are among the largest reciprocating engine pistons of any production passenger car or motorcycle in the world.

The Boulevard M109R features the advanced Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system for smooth throttle response even at low engine rpm.

A compact dry-sump lubrication system incorporating Suzuki Advanced Sump System (SASS) is designed for reduced engine height, a lower crankshaft position and lower centre of gravity.

Offering comfortable cruising across a variety of riding situations, the flagship Boulevard model features a strong, five-speed transmission with carefully selected gear ratios.

Fitted with a 2-into-1-into-2, stainless steel, chromed exhaust, the muscular cruiser features Suzuki's digitally controlled SET (Suzuki Exhaust Tuning) system for optimum engine performance and offers up the M109R’s satisfying, powerful V-twin engine note.

Equipped with sophisticated suspension components, the inverted front forks, featuring race-proven cartridge internals with 46mm stanchion tubes, provide the Boulevard M109R an aggressive front end look with 130mm of wheel travel.

The Suzuki’s cast aluminium-alloy swingarm works with a progressive linkage and a single rear shock with adjustable spring preload.

Developed using Suzuki’s famed GSX-R sportsbike technology, the race-proven brake system includes radial-mounted, opposed-four-piston front calipers with 310mm front brake rotors and a dual-piston rear caliper with 275mm rear disc.

Measuring a massive 240mm, the beefy Dunlop rear is the widest ever used on a Suzuki motorcycle to put Boulevard M109R’s awesome power to the road.

Offering extended touring range, the wide, 19-litre capacity fuel tank flows into integrated side covers, stylish radiator cowl and a comfortable low seat.

The solo-seat cover offers the M109R an aggressive, sporty look and can be quickly and easily swapped for the included passenger seat when required.

A handlebar mounted instrument cluster includes digital tachometer and LED indicator lamps, complementing the tank mounted analogue speedometer and LCD odometer, dual tripmeters, fuel gauge and clock.

At an SRP of $18,990 (inc GST) plus on road costs, the Suzuki Boulevard M109R (VZR1800K8) is available in a choice of Pearl Black or the all-new Candy Max Orange colour and features a two-year, unlimited kilometre warranty.

Interested customers should contact their local Suzuki dealer.
