[@bradv9449]

I bought a 2009 M90 in part based on your review. I watched your review again after riding it for three weeks. You were spot on in your thoughts about this motorcycle. I love this motorcycle. Thanks

[@SteveBrady_AU]

This is what I ride. I'm a taller guy at 6' 2" and this fits me perfectly. Great for cruising and touring. It turns heads and with the right pipes it sounds great.

[@nissanelement43]

Thks. I'm same height and appreciate people telling me their height, weight, and inseam.

[@tmd757]

I've been watching some of your videos as of late.....the ones on the boulevard have been fun for me since I ride a 2005 c50 that I transformed into a custom hard bagger. In each one you talk about the "clunky" transmission.... I got to tell ya, I like the clunky....it gives me both a tangible and audible indication that I've actually made into gear.... I know it may seem weird, but I like it.

[@litltoosee]

Been riding a 2013 M90 for 6 yrs now, bought it brand new. M90 is NOT a beginner's bike. This is a powerful, heavy sport cruiser that has a unique seat and foot peg to handlebar arrangement that places the driver in a shoulders forward, butt back , almost racing position. It's a blast to ride, but to set it up for long distance cruising would be like using a quarter horse to pull a buggy. This bike is problem free and totally dependable . Not one mechanical problem with it in 40k miles and 6 yrs. Plugs, tires, oil, coolant and filters is all it's cost to run. I still get compliments on it every ride. Best bike I've ever owned.

[@randybarnhill3098]

I totally agree with you Sean. If you're confident in your skills, get it. My bike is way too big for me, I'm 5'11" weigh 145 and ride a vtx1800r. Wanted a Vulcan 2000 but those are hard to find.

[@craigpennington1251]

Very pretty blue color and lots of chrome- you can see this bike- most cage drivers can't see all blacked out bikes- therefor running over them even at stop lights. I can handle the big bikes but problem is I am short and need controls where I can CONTROL the bike properly. Not one manufacturer addresses this. That negates a custom built bike which could run 40-60 grand. I need a hot cruiser that doesn't scrape parts, can get with it from 80mph, and be comfortable for 500 miles a day. When I get on a bike I cruise at 70 to 85mph. Don't have time to dork around. Love the M109R LTD EDs. Just not in black. Great video.

[@rollyfoley123]

Lol "just hittin the speed limit" there we go 35. 🤣🤣🤣

[@Hroethbert]

Fitting a 190/55 rear tyre on mine was one of the best things I did for the handling, makes them way more flickable than a bike of their size has any right to be. Replace the standard shock too if you can.

[@rickboogaard3214]

Just bought myself a 2009 M90 paid 3600 for it. 34k miles and I love it. Aftermarket pipes and air cleaners. Yeah the tanks massive but after a few rides I don’t even notice it anymore.

The C90 (C for cruiser) model has a different motor. The M for (Muscle) is an all together new 1500 motor in that year. Keep in mind, this bike borrows cues from the sport bike line. I have my 2009 bought NEW and it has been great, only my second bike ever. Thanks for the presentation.

[@Prosperous.king1]

2nd video of yours I have watched. Love the words of wisdom. I've been wanting a motorcycle and never ridden before but aesthetically I've always wanted the M109r. But after watching your review on it I'm wondering if the m90 would be more ideal or if even that would be too much bike for a first time rider.

[@theworksho3947]

The C or M50 are GREAT beginner bikes. No one says you can't learn on one then upgrade later!

[@jameshayes8825]

I’ve been watching your channel quite a bit lately both older and newer videos and you’ve covered everything from good pricing to bad bikes and I gotta tell ya man, I have a Harley ‘03 FXSTD and I didn’t know how unpopular it was when I bought it and it’s a load of money and custom work because almost no aftermarket parts for it lol but I love it still

[@druegeme]

Nice. Thanks for throwing Luke in there sometimes a reminder helps. Hey now I might want some old import cruiser to squeeze inbetween my 919 and SV650!

[@Stephenhaake]

I bought the C109RT and it's a beastly powerhouse. But as Sean and others have stated, it is somewhat lacking in the handling department. I think eventually I'll go for something a bit more nimble but still powerful- possibly a Roadstar, Voyager, Concourse, etc...

[@motoryzen]

2:00 to 2:30 and it gets probably barely 35 mpg. ( defeats the ENTIRE point of not driving a car). Screw that, 650cc or smaller engine for me is plenty even on the interstate while still getting 60+ mpg.

[@rossbrumby1957]

My sister owned a 1.3L Holden Barina aka Suzuki Swift, very ecenomical but squeezy- 46mpg (imperial). My 1.8L M109r is lighter, cuts less air and has much more power. It gets 60mpg on the same highway speeds. That's 5L/100km. A big motor with no load uses bugger all petrol.

[@iansmith3296]

This video turned me on to the Boulevard "M" series, and I got a 2009 M90, in the same color no less! Sweet ride, big step up from my V-Star 650 and just an all around fun time

[@susdad]

Why is the M90 750lbs with the big dumb headlight? But the M95 is 650lbs and is normal looking?

[@paulhenry5174]

In the next 2 weeks I am looking to pick up a C50 or M90. I am leaning more towards the M90. This video was spot on. Thank you.

[@ConspiracyMan5150]

Awesome video. I have a 2013 M90 and love it. God bless.

[@garysaunders9385]

Classic old-school cruiser. No unnecessary rider modes, cruise control, or ABS. I agree, the 200mm rear tire is not too wide, not too narrow. I got used to the clunky tranny on my 2009 M90. Still plenty fast. In 3rd you'll hit 85mph really quick with even a moderate pull. How often do you drag race on the street anyway?.. The better handling and lower price is why I prefer it to the M109R.

[@jeffeastman625]

Thank you so much for this video!

[@mgelliott1]

I appreciate you saying you were 6'2". To your point about sizes of riders and your reach to the bars, it would be GREAT if you would give info on your arm length (shirt size) and inseam size, and take side video of each bike with you holding the grips and feet on the controls. Also, if you (or your staff) could make measurements (like the magazines do) from the seat to the bar, and seat to foot controls, this would be very helpful. You probably would not want to give your measurements in very vid, but you cost post it as a link in each video. As, most guys are not 6-2, if you could film a guy from your shop 5'9" or 5'10" sitting on the bike and accessing the controls that would also be great. Happy Easter.

[@tat2wheelz]

I have the 2013 M109R and it handles better than people think, if you know how to ride with a big rear tire. Prices for tires are about the same as a 180 to 200 rear... I would rather have the M109R at around 7k

[@kee7678]

Wow, very nice! Great video and great verse! Love your channel and God bless you bro !!

[@GregHuston]

How's the ergos of this bike compare to a Dyna? I'm 6'1" and found with even forward controls on the Dyna my legs were cramped on long rides. Tossin' around the idea of picking up one of these.

[@craigpennington1251]

P.S. Big fat tires are great as long as they are tall too. Tall meaning side wall height. Low pro tires do not ride comfortably and transfer all those bumps to your back. Your roads on this video are like glass smooth compared to ours out here. I am a fan of tall fat rubber on both ends of the bike. Been legally riding since 1969 and prefer the previous sentence.

[@Ancientcaptain]

How do u get boot or shoe rubber off the exhaust pipes after it melts on? ,any suggestions are more than appreciated

[@athaless]

It's a very nice bike and a cool video as well man... Here in Brazil, Suzuki call "she" as Boulevard M1500. Recently a bought one year 2014, and I'm very happy to be able to finally get there!!! Just as a curiosity: It is much more affordable to have this type of motorcycle in the USA... well, in fact "Suzuki BRASIL" only produced the M1500 (M90) until 2014 and finished the production of the M1800 (M109) now in 2020. It is difficult to compare prices but this motocyle being sold in USA for approximately $ 6k, here in Brazil it would have a price of $ 12k. 🙄

[@ridingwithjon3048]

I can't get past the weight of these cruisers. I think I'll go for a sport touring bike next as a compromise for my next bike.

[@cybertrophic]

Riding With Jon in fairness, the weight is held low and helps keep the ride plush and stable for distance riding. If you want to flick it through the bends then, as you suggest, a sportsbike is undeniably better.

[@rubo1964]

coming from sport bike then sport tourer VFR800 I am looking to get comfy cruiser 109C ,Valkyrie or Vulcan 2000.At 55 my body wants to relax now but still have fun. Weight on most cruisers are carried low so does not effect handling.I've seen old laddies ride 900lb Goldwings...

[@ManDudeMcHumanGuy]

I think the M90 looks cool, but being a smaller guy (about 5'7) I'd be hesitant to get one. At least based on the videos, haven't checked one out in person. Also, even online, M90s are kind of hard to find. I find a ton of C50/90s and M109s, but barely any M90s.

(ZX14r / CBR600RR / Gen1 Vmax here) I like your videos, and appreciate the scripture reading. Since some of us ride on the edge and are just a crash away from meeting the maker, it's a good idea to live right and stay prayed up. Thanks for including "Do this is Remembrance of Me", which for those who care, sure sounds like a commandment, not a suggestion. "Do this" was referring to 1 bread & 1 cup shared among those followers in attendance. Communion = common union in 1 body and blood, thus the 1 of each item, which is an identifier of his Church. Note: Eucharist is a Catholicism term, and not found within the Scriptures. I'm not looking to argue, just discussing on what you said. KEEP UP THE COOL VIDEO's..
