[@michaelizzy3424]

Just got a 06 love it. I had the gsxs1000 too and the m109r is such a different animal. That rear tire makes her handle like a dream. Great video.

[@tat2wheelz]

Thank you very much. I have sold this bike but I do miss it

[@manwithvette]

I have an 07 m109r, I can say that top-end speed on mine is 140 mph, only because it’s governed for that speed. I hear if ya get the computer flashed it’ll roll past the 150 mph mark. But I’m all set with that, it’s the G-force acceleration that gives ya the shit eating grin, and not risking your ass at top-end speeds. Great video, thanks for sharing and ride safe👍👍

[@tat2wheelz]

Couldn't agree more. Thanks for the comment. Ride safe!

That's a beautiful bike..the m109 is my dream bike I'm 51&disabled but still can ride want to before I can't anymore I've been riding over 30years last 2years no motorcycle been hard last few years lost my wife 3 years ago my children are grown I want to get a motorcycle &maybe live from it I'm not getting any younger love the video

[@bobbychubb6913]

I'm with you brother. I'm 55 recently disabled finally able to ride again so I took a ride on my brothers gsx s750 and liked it but the pegs are too high for me and it's very fast. If I was younger I would buy the same bike but the m109 is calling my name. I'm bigger than my brother so I look like a gorilla on his bike.

[@timsretirementjourney8323]

Man that's a pretty bike!! I'm 68 years old and thinking it may be time to at least consider changing over from my '88 Katana 1100 to a cruiser style.

i like how you just cruised with it, even tho it has mad power you were just chilling, thats nice to see how it just cruises

[@easternyellowjacket276]

I agree. Most video of this bike, the reviewer for some reason feels like they need to constantly be on it. It was refreshing to see this bike just purr along. Nice machine.

[@myhometechguy]

With the stock tune the M109R is limited to about 130. The fuel drops off and the secondary throttle plates close half to like 40% to restrict top speed. With ECU tuning those limitations along with increasing the rev limiter to 7500 brings the top speed to 160.

[@tat2wheelz]

Thank you for the info. I can attest to this from personal experience for sure. Now I need a new ECU lol

[@MotoKari]

That is a beautiful bike!! Enjoyed the drone footage of it. 👍 you can tell you're really having fun with it. You're right when you say the bike has to feel good to you, otherwise it's not enjoyable (and in your experience, can end up pretty dangerous). Take care and ride safe!!

MotoKari thank you very much. I knew it was the bike for me the moment I sat on it. I wanted a muscle cruiser and this is it. You guys ride safe as well. We may end up going to the AIMexpo in las Vegas in October

@@Laffy1345 depends on the year of the bike. Some of the older ones had problems. Mostly transmission issues but a cylinder issue wouldn't surprise me if they rode it hard.

Hey brother, Big guy here too, 6'0 280 lbs. I went the opposite direction and got a Z1000, she always tries to wheelie even with my big butt on it, but I love the clearance I have with my legs but sometimes I just want to cruise so I'm trying to switch over to a muscle cruiser. Your have my current dream bike and shes a beauty. Congratulations!

[@HiFlyinOne]

I just picked up an '06 Limited with super low miles while out on a long ride with the wife and friends. Funny that you mentioned the Z1000 as I was riding a 2016 Z1000 all day and bought the '06 M109R on the way home. Had to go back and pick it up the next day. I have to say that I love both for different reasons. I love the looks I get and the comfort of the M109R, and it's plenty fast. I could ride it every day. Then....I get on the Z1000 and it's like a sports car compared to the M109R which is more like a PowerStoke Super Duty. Every time I get off of either I'm like...."wow, that bike is awesome!". Then I get on the other and I'm soaking up the different vibes. My dual sport is feeling neglected. :-( Any ride is a good ride. Great video dude.

[@tat2wheelz]

Yea I still look at the Z1000. Love the look of that bike. I had a GSX-S1000F but the throttle was too touchy for me. We have groms outside of our street bikes. SoRoc wants a motard for her next bike. But I agree any ride is a good one. Thanks for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed the video. Hoping to have a few more reviews soon.

I ride an M90 Suzuki Boulevard.1462cc, same styling as the 109R, lighter, quicker, more managable in traffic.

[@TheNotoriousAdz]

Great vid! I’ve been riding a boulevard M50 for a couple years but I’m looking for something with more power and was even thinking a 6th gear. On the M50 when going at speeds around 75mph in 5th gear, the vibrations start to stiffen the back after about 10 minutes. Going 70 seems fine tho but sucks getting passed on the highway on a bike lol. How does the M109r feel cruising at those speeds for any length of time?

[@tat2wheelz]

The M109R is a great all day rider. I have rode that bike for 13 hours in one day. I was a little sore but she has all the power you could want. She will cruise at 100 no problem.

Got a 2006 Suzuki boulevard s50 my first it’s great for me because I’m small 5”6 and can flat foot it but it’s great around the corners and the 805 cc is no slouch. Would like to eventually move up to a sport bike like a 1000 but this is good for now.

[@tat2wheelz]

I think you chose a perfect starter bike. Keeping learning and ride safe. 😁

[@craigpennington1251]

I love these 109R LTDs 2008 models in particular. Now since all my cancer is gone I have looked for one but all I've found was trashed. That red looks great on that bike. It's not all blacked out. This thing is beauty, except for the wheels. They need to be triple chromed.. Don't ride it like a sport bike or you'll be pushing daisies soon. Some of my (late ) friends tried that.

[@tat2wheelz]

Congrats on beating cancer. I still do not see many of the 109's for sale. I got lucky when I found this one.

[@merameshi]

I have the m50. It was my first bike but after riding it for the last 8 months I feel I need more power. I put about 5k miles on it so far and ride in the rain and with another person alot. I'm also 5'7 350lbs. I think this bike will be more of a fit for me.

[@user-yt2nq1xf7p]

Gorgeous bike. I’m a diehard sport bike rider but I’ve been looking at the m109r for years now. I’ve been in the market for a new bike for about a year and contemplating converting to cruisers. After hearing you be in awe of the bike it is making it quite difficult to say no. If you had one negative about the bike, what would it be?

[@tat2wheelz]

Honestly I don't really have anything bad to say about the bike overall. Performance is top notch. The price is great for the amount of bike you get. Comfortable riding. And all the power you could ask for in a muscle cruiser. The ONLY negative thing is learning to adapt to the fat rear tire when it comes to leaning in the curves. It is a little different of a feeling. Hard to explain. You would have to ride it to understand. But it's worth pulling the trigger on if you have been looking at them.

[@MotorcyclesforTallRidersNow]

Killjoy and SoRoc I was going to ask you about that rear tire. I just got a 2016 m109r and love it. Only thing was switching from a kawasaki zx14r sportbike to my first cruiser, it was weird not putting my feet behind me. And making turns, I'm always thinking about that fat back tire. Like I'm gonna slide. But this thing is awesome!

[@tat2wheelz]

@@MotorcyclesforTallRidersNow definitely my favorite bike so far. That fat tire will hold better than ya think. I don't have chicken strips left on mine now lol.

[@estandid]

Be careful with the early ones get the 2nd gear undercut if you get one pre 2013

[@martymac5372]

I agree 100% about the rear tire, at the advise on the M109 forum, I installed a Dunny Elite 3 250, which is even wider, but the profile is rounder installed and not so flat as the original crap tires. Makes a big difference in cornering. The other thing that I didn't like about the bike was the lean forward position as it is from the factory. I put +4" risers on for a more upright position (and of course all new +4 cables and front brake line. This probably won't bother a sport bike rider as that is what you are used to. However I am 68 y.o. and bending forward all the time just didn't work for me.

[@paulm5382]

I like this bike too as I've been looking around. Thanks for your video. What's the air flow like to your upper body at higher speeds?

[@tat2wheelz]

Glad you enjoyed the video. That is a great question. Honestly I don't feel as much drag as I did with the Fury. I'm guessing heavier bike with a wider seat and more designed for long haul riding makes the difference. You get the same wind drag from crosswinds as all bikes. But even without a windshield it's not bad on the Bully! Hope that helps!

Digging the intro groove..

[@Overtenemy2]

Ok so I am torn between 3 bikes at the moment. I have fallen in love with the style of the Fury. Also am intrigued by the Indian scout bobber. The m109r is the third. I am torn between them all. Since you said you came off the fury, would you say the boulevard is a better choice than the fury? If so, I would have it down to the muscle m109r or the Indian scout bobber. The fury is the only one I have ridden of the 3 and I enjoyed it very much. My current ride is a Suzuki GS 650 L. I would appreciate any input you can give me. Thanks.

[@tat2wheelz]

All 3 are great bikes in their own rights. BUT, each have their pros and cons as well. First, I need to ask if you have sit on a Scout Bobber yet? If the answer is no then I highly advise you to do that. The reason is I have owned the Fury, and considered the Scout Bobber before buying this M109R. I went to Indian and sat on the Scout Bobber only to be very disappointed. It felt like a very small and uncomfortable bike to me. The M109R sits close to how the Fury sat and the handling is close outside of the bigger rear tire. The Fury lacked the power and top end speed I was wanting. The Bobber has 100HP to the Furys 76HP but the M109R has 127HP. At the end of the day I went with what felt good to me when I sat or rode. I choose power and an "at home" feeling in the end. I hope that helps! Thanks for such a great question!! Ride Safe and Good Luck Bike Hunting!!!

[@myhometechguy]

I seriously considered the Scout Bobber too. It is also a powerful bike. My buddy bought one and I bought a 2017 M109R. There is a serious size difference between the two bikes. I determined I am way to big for the Scout. I am 6'3". The M109R fits me very well. My buddy is much shorter so the scout fits him well. The M109R has a better lean angle and more power. It is a better performance canyon carver cruiser. Also the Scout Bobber has an uncomfortably hard seat. It needs replacement. I like both it just depends on what suites you.

Did you stop making stock tires for a 2014 Suzuki M109R. Response from Dunlop. Pete, Thanks for reaching out! We still have a D221 front & rear tire available for the M109. It’s only available from a Suzuki authorized dealer and likely a special order. It’s a relatively low-volume tire for us and in many cases, such tires are inventoried by the OEM’s.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYjFn2N-jqiDjrc here is a link to the exhaust. I'm not sure on Miles per tank.

[@boyesjeffrey]

I own the exact same bike. Miles Per Tank depend on how much I get on the throttle... But I average about 160.

[@duanewente457]

I've been scoping the bike for some time, have you had any issues with the transmission? I've heard R&D Transmission does a great job. I'm reasonably sure in 2010 and up the issue is resolved.

[@tat2wheelz]

I didn't have any transmission trouble. I will say it does have a harder than normal shift though. But they did resolve the issues around 2010 or 2011 with second gear... overall this is a great bike and I would probably own another one down the road

[@martymac5372]

From someone that has the same bike, let me tell you what your first mod should be, it isn't glitter or racy, but in my opinion one of the top mods I have done. Put on the Hydraulic clutch kit. I was having trouble with constant clutch adjustment with both my factory and my aftermarket Motion Pro clutch cables stretching, so I put on the Rainy hydraulic clutch slave and line and bought the lever and master cylinder from a Suzuki dealer. I got my 2013 for $6000.00 with 2000 miles on the clock two years ago.

[@tat2wheelz]

@@martymac5372 I will definitely look into that mod. And you got a steal of a deal in that bike

[@tat2wheelz]

They make some touring kits for it. Not sure what all is out there because I didnt like the look of the bags. But they do have some options. I'm not sure where to tp you to look. Maybe try ebay?

[@leisuregaming465]

This is the one I'm hoping to get in may. Not 100 percent sure but is it a dry clutch? If it is I'm thinking about swapping to a wet clutch. Heard that is more forgiving

[@tat2wheelz]

Duane Deane I definitely recommend this bike. I'm not a 100 percent sure myself. I know a wet clutch takes some power away from the engine since it has to spin in the engine oil. But the final drive and clutch on this bike are very forgiving anyway. If it were belt driven I wouldn't think it would be. The only issue is the shifting from the transmission. It can be hard from 1st to 2nd. A common problem with these. You get use to it after awhile though

[@myhometechguy]

As is with most modern motorcycles it is a wet clutch.

[@domburney7]

Thanks for the Vid! I’m thinking of crossing over from sport to Cruiser because of my back. How is bug splatter with No windshield?

[@tat2wheelz]

Depends on the area. But there will be bugs on your face shield because the lack of windshield. That's why I wear a full face most of the time.

[@zuki4563]

I know I am late to the party here but I got to be honest with you, after test riding an M109r I was disappointed. Now this is coming from a pure sportbike guy with a few friends who are trying to sell me on the whole "cruiser life" so to speak so I have ridden no other cruisers to compare it to. I ride a 2016 R1s and I also had the same bike you did- GSXS 1000F just FYI but this bike felt slow... definitely a lot slower than the R1 and GSXS, but also way slower than any 600 I've ridden, and probably slower 0-60 or at least 0-50 than a lot of 450 supermotos I've ridden. It honestly kind of pissed me off that cruiser guys make this thing out to be like on the same level as 750cc sportbikes because it isn't even fucking close. I tried the Valkyrie as well and it was much better but still didn't do it for me, I am going to try a V-Max as soon as I get the opportunity. I will say the M109r is incredible looking, huge, and sounds great. As a smooth long distance cruiser it would be awesome but calling it a "muscle cruiser" for me seems like a stretch. I can't imagine how slow most cruisers really are if this is one of the quickest. I am not hating on you btw, if I was gonna have a cruiser it would be this one or the Valkyrie at this point, but I'm just not sold on the whole cruiser thing in general. That's my soapbox lmao.

[@tat2wheelz]

Thanks for sharing. My wife is like you. She is a sports bike person. She likes the bully for other reasons but won't own a cruiser just yet. This bike has a 0-60 time around 2.65 seconds. For a cruiser that is in the top 3. Its a muscle cruiser based on HP and torque. It pumps out 127HP and 117lbd of torque. I agree that it doesn't have the top end speed. But I roast most bikes off the line. The problem you have is that you are comparing a cruiser to sport bikes. Its totally different of a ride. I don't think you will be happy with any cruiser until you are ready to make the switch. Thanks for the feedback. Ride safe!

[@zuki4563]

Killjoy and SoRoc I didn’t try and dead stop runs although it was just a test ride so I didn’t want to be too over the top 😂😂 most 600s are making a bit more than unless you are saying 127 to the rear wheel, in that case you are in fast 600 territory but the weight is where it really struggles. I just want a cruiser that makes like 250 to the wheel so it feels every bit as fast as a 1000cc supersport lol. If we could have that I would be happy. Maybe I will look into more comfortable supersorts like the ZX14 as well.

[@tat2wheelz]

@@zuki4563 yea your best bet for the fastest cruiser is the VMAX. I understand what you are wanting. But handling is way off too. SoRoc took this bike for a ride and she loved the raw power it has on the low end. She said the top end would take some getting used to. But the leaning was the major thing she didn't like. It has a different feel to it. I would say you probably aren't ready for a cruiser just yet lol

[@zuki4563]

Killjoy and SoRoc I actually didn’t mind the handling. I commute to work a lot on my R1 and just chill ride it so it’s really no different leaning around in a cruiser you just have to relax and take it slow. I will say the part I had some problems with was the feet forward thing, kinda weird to get it into neutral and back into gear at stop lights like that. It was comfy though. The only other thing is I would rather the M109R have the bars closer to you. I was basically jamming my nuts into the tank to I could each the bars comfortably and I’m 6ft lol. I would love to have a sliver one personally and maybe do a bunch of hop ups to get at least 140 or so wheel horse power. Can these bikes be “supercharged” like they do on the Harleys?

[@tat2wheelz]

@@zuki4563 I'm sure you can supercharge it. And I agree with you on the bars.

I wanted to buy the m109 but my legs are too long and the tank is very large so the pedal control were to much inside. I would had to twist my feet inside. Would have needed other type of control. My two favorites are that M109 and the Raider 1900 which I own. I’m not sailing it soon but if I change I will loose for larger pedal control before buying it. If I were rich I’d have those two in my garage.

[@tat2wheelz]

I definitely don't have the long leg problem lol. And I looked at a raider before buying this one. I really liked both. Had a fury before this Bully

It really depends on the year of the bike. 06 to 10 were really bad from what I heard. Mine was a 2013 and it would at times feel like it was hard to go from 1st to 2nd at times. So I guess I would have to say yes it does but depending on year to how bad it can feel shifting... ride safe!

How is it in curves as well as dragging/scraping the foot pegs? Is that a problem and was it something you had to get accustomed with? Thinking about purchasing this but afraid of the foot peg problem (if there is one). Thanks. I see you answered some of it in this video but still would like to hear what you think?

[@tat2wheelz]

It's me !! It takes some adjusting in the curves with the 240 rear tire. I haven't dragged the pegs yet in a curve. I'm sure I will. I have been really close several times. But overall I'm impressed with the M109R. Overall power and handling is great for a muscle cruiser like this one.

[@Itsme-jd6dh]

Killjoy and SoRoc Thanks sir and enjoy the ride.. Living the dream lol!!

[@tat2wheelz]

It's me !! Doing the best I can. Ride safe on your new bike when you get it.

[@JeremyUSA]

If you don't mind me adding some comments pertaining to the pegs dragging. It all depends on how aggressive you corner. If there is no traffic, I take the corner with some speed and yeah, I drag the pegs all the time. That said, you can avoid that with proper body leaning and if I'm going really fast, I even get half my butt off the seat and almost knee drag to allow more ground clearance. At "normal" speeds, you won't have to worry about it any more than any other cruiser out there.

[@myhometechguy]

I drag my pegs all the time when riding more aggressively. in the twisties. I find it very satisfying. It has a good lean angle for a cruiser but its no sport bike. However compared to other cruisers it is a sport bike. The M109R has two personalities. Its a low end torque relaxed cruiser but at high RPM's it becomes a performance machine. I don't notice the common complaint about the wide rear tire affecting cornering nor has other people who have ridden it but I have ridden but never owned a sport bike so it may be my experience.
