2008 Suzuki M109R LE User Ratings

Have had the bike for just over a year now. Best way to describe this bike is, it's a BEAST this bike draws attention where ever it goes, seems like everyone want to have a picture taken with and on it. I rode it to my sisters wedding in North Carolina and there wee about 50 bikes at the wedding, nearly all HD's no one wanted to park beside it because it stood out so well. but for the technical aspects. Engine 1800CC and the torque will throw you off if you are not expecting it. Power does not stop up to 100 mph tach still around 3500 rpm. Suspension: because of the wide tire you do feel the cracks and bumps in the road but the upgraded stock seat make the ride comfy on longer rides. Handling: Big and Heavy makes for short turn handling a little harder than one might be use to, but on the long highway, you will appreciate the response. Transmission: Still has the traditional second gear clunk trademark of the Suzuki but as long as you are not racing through the gears and drive like you respect your bike that issue is a no problem. Ergonomics: I'm a big guy, 6 ft 270lbs, love the aggressive profile posture of the bike, everything is well within reach. Value: I got a great deal with the mods I had the dealer install, cobra sweep pipes, powdered rims, lowered 3 inches still bought it for way under MFSRP. Brakes: I ride I-4 in Orlando and as with all large cities we believe that we have the craziest drivers and I've driven all over the world, for the weight of the bike braking is excellent when you need them, they are there (tested and proven to me many times). Components: This bike stock has people slobbering at the sight of it, not much has to be done only those things wou want as a personal touch are needed and we all love to add our personal touches. Reliability: I have over 11,000 miles performed all the scheduled maintenance at the scheduled time and not a single issue. This bike is ready to ride when I'm ready.
Style, comfort, power, reliability and value what more could a person ask for that really wants to ride.
