Okay I saw your video back a few years ago. I have been researching the M109R and really getting into that bike. I bought a Honda 1100 VT and have been riding it for well up until now and in the future most likely. I say that because I just bought my dream bike. The M109R. I have to pinch myself. Long story short I am now watching your video again. I have to say, everything that you described about the first time you're on the highway and every feeling you had was exactly my experience getting on the highway on my Honda with trucks passing me by. not because I was unable to keep up but because the wind and everything else was a bit overwhelming. My speedometer was off a bit so I thought I was keeping up but of course I was not. It was seriously intimidating and a bit nerve-racking. It took getting used to. Now of course it's cake. Fast forward to the M109R.... I am waiting for the weather to break to take my new bike and open her up a little. I only drove her home 23 mi from the dealership in basically rush hour traffic.

I have that bike too but its from 2006, its not my first its my 5th bike and I love it

Dude 41 is not old at all

you dont know how to ride your on the wrong bike and your vloging only matter of time

Beautiful bike! Please be careful.

Wait a minut you said first big bike but you stopped crotchrocking yrs ago so you decided on the suzuki. Its not your first Bike. Especially since crotch rockets are fast. You got the prfct size up no need for a triump bonnevile 130mph you just jumped up to 30mph more. NICE, good luck with it big bikes are no joke. Would you consider this bike long range rider cross country into other countries?

It is a beast I have the venture and man they go! Love it

It's crazy. I just commented on one of your M109r videos a couple of weeks ago. I'm in PG County Md. I just purchased the 2024 M109r a couple of weeks ago. It's still at the dealer getting some accessories put on. Then i'm shipping it home. The V Stream is one the accessories i have them putting on. I remember you stated you removed your due to it taking away the look of the headlight. Do you remember if you had the touring 10inch or Sport 7inch windscreen. By the way no need to apologize about your Stratoliner. They are dope bikes and look good in person, with a hellava sound system 💪🏿

im about to do the same from a 450 dirt bike to a m109r

Dude i just sat on the 2024 M109 yesterday. I haven't rode in 6yrs but i was riding 1000cc supersport. However i'm mid 40's. So when i sat on the gixxer 1000r and then sat on the M109r it felt like my old riding buddies are right. They are trying to convince me to go with Harleys but i can't justify paying 30 to 35k for a new Harley. I'm also in Md. What advice you got for me?

I wish I could be this guy frfr

I'm really eyeballing these bikes. I can't get enough watching videos like this. Quick question on fifth gear, do you have plenty of power to pass a car? Without having to downshift? My Harley, I have to do that😬.😢

Great video, do you still have the Eluder? What mods have you done? I just purchased one 5 months ago and love it

You're more brave than me lol i started on a m50 boulevard, then went to a gsxr 600, and NOW i have a m109r 😂 it was a comfortable progression for me

My dad has the same bike. Suzuki intruder boss edition from india. Love this bike

Where my M109R riders at?

Congratulations on getting patched. You must be worthy and proven.

н а х ты с дальним светом катаешься ?

Nice video, that makes a great sound! Did you ever have clutch issues?

If u dont like the wind in your hair(crap) and all those extras storage the screen the speakers,, buy a car fool!!! U aint NO Biker,,, wanna be is what u are!!! And patched up,,, so rediculous the wolfs or road fools what ever you call yourselfs!!!! Hahahalol

I ride red best on earth

Im guessing you got the ECU flashed... if not- probably worth it...

Im in a similar situation to when you were starting, Im 36 now and just getting into riding. My father in law has ridden bikes his whole life so hes got a lot of wisdom and knowledge about bikes. Im debating between getting a Suzuki M90 as a first bike, which seems to have a much more forgiving torque and power band compared to the M109, while still having a similar look. Obviously the m109 is the flagship, but im a little concerned about trying to learn to ride on the m109. Do you think the m90 would be a good choice as a bike to learn on and grow into? My uncle in law also has a ton of bikes and my father in law was going to talk to him about possibly lending me a bike to learn on. If that pans out then i might end up buying the m109 if the right price comes up. Appreciate your videos. Thanks

Yo how hard was it for you to install?

You have any good sites I can purchase some B.O.S.S. accessories?

Man, you speaking to me directly. I just bought a road king with a similar situation

killer choice man

great beginer bike all my daughters learned on this bike. you need to learn to stay in your lane bro talking driving in all three lanes no signals lmao! gonna get got player! never ever seen a negro on a m109 before white boy bike! most blackys like stupid ass hyabusas

Cool like the video...the bike sounds good too.

Good to see you back bro. You with another club now?

You have the BEST "home screen" or whatever you call it. You always show your stats on the screen, and I don't really know what they all mean, but they look cool and I'm sure help the nerds that ride by those standards to make them better riders.

Hi there Dread, Mike B here from California and a new Sub'd to your channel. I LOVE the layout and look of your channel right away because it's different and you put a lot of hard work into it for our enjoyment. That's badass and does not get overlooked by me, brother. I'm a re-entry rider, just got a 2001 Honda Shadow Spirit 750 in perfect turn key condition, and a 2004 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Classic that needs to go through the shop, but DAMN I'm So happy to be back riding ! EDIT : HOLY MOLEY you must be insane, at 1783 cc motor. Brother, you have my UTMOST respect. I rode Honda XR80's in junior high, and then had CB750, Interceptors, Harley, but NOTHING like that MONSTER.

Great Great bije

This bike and the Kawasaki ZX 1400 seem to be old school bikes they just leave them with no driving AIDS but the prices are good on both and the performance is great.

This seems the most honest motorcycle video on KZbin. Well done.

boring video

I will beat the crap out of any bike but I give it to you.. no one buys that sized bike for a first bike. Good to see and great video. I just bought this bike in orange.

My first bike was a 2008 yamaha warrior 1700. Crazy bike but I respect it’s power and weight and I learned how to ride on it by myself. Wouldn’t do it any other way

can't hear the bike. You're talking too much. exiting out.

There are advantages to riding a big bike. I did my learners on a 70cc small bike. It was shocking how many cars pulled out in front of me. Cut me off. Tried to merge into me. I wondered how bike riders survived. I ditched the small bike and bought the biggest bike available at the time. A big black cruiser. Instantly riding became safer. Cars seen me, heard me, got outta my way.

Hey I'm 68 years old I have a crotch rocket you're never too old

Bruhhh i live in FL and i couldnt even imagine being cold and not ridin. Winter bad for my bones. Ridin all year baby. Good luck brotha, M109 Forver✊🏾✊🏾

How is the air-cooled engine work out for you? Does it do fine in the summer heat?

I know this is a late comment lol. I found your channel and this vid while researching the M109R. If I pull the trigger this will be my 6th bike, When I bought my first bike, I went for my dream bike that I had always wanted...Harley Road King, and after one ride...she had to go lol so I traded for a Harley dyna low rider. That bike was a lot easier to ride, but I still didn't feel it. I was starting to think it was because maybe I just "thought" I wanted to ride, so I gave it another try and bought a sportster...turns out, it was just Harleys that were the let down to me. I built them up too high in my mind all the years of dreaming about them, then they didn't live up to my vision of being this badass biker ripping down the road lol. I then rode a buddies Honda shadow and loved it, then got one, still have it, got a VTX1300, loved it, traded up to the VTX1800 awesome bike. and now im ready for the beast of cruisers...the M109R!!!

Brother i have a m109 and the fact this is your verrry first bike Amazes me !!!!! It really does

I actually think this is the way to do it. I bought a Honda Shadow 750 for my first bike. My wife was anti-motorycle, so i never considered the passenger seat when buying a bike. I WHIPPED that shadow. For exactly 3 weeks. In week 2 i got my wife on the back. She loved it. I immediately looked for a big touring bike with a bigger, more comfortable back seat. Went up to a Vulcan 1700 with V&H, pC5, Ivanized, and put a batwing on it. The increased power and weight made me slow down. Im actually way more careful BECAUSE of the power, weight and cost. Dont get a beginner bike. Get your ideal bike. Its better to be scared for the first 100 miles than it is to be comfortable.

I got my license at 17, and started on a 75 CB750. It was more bike than I ever needed back in the early '90s. Weel after nearly 30 years without, the bug bit me again. I wanted a mid-level "beginner" bike to get my sea legs back, but i just couldn't find something that fit me right in the smaller class. The M109R was one of my 3 finalists, but i ended up with a Yamaha Warrior 1700. I know what you're talking about, with that 1st gear throttle sensitivity! I almost slid off the back of her a couple weeks ago... a light turned green while I was slowing down, then rolled on the throttle in 2nd gear 😂

She sweet bro

My first bike is a M109r also bro, I love it…. Keep it pushin

This is why the guys who go fast never die
