Anyone ridden a Suzuki VZR M109 1800cc bike before?

[bmz2]

I've had a go on one, I reckon it was the easiest to ride bike I have ever ridden. They stop, go and corner with an ease that is quite amazing.

Also the poster has raced, which is worth quite a few CCs.

Went from no bike, straight to the beast and it was so easy to do. Had not ridden in 25 years. So glad i have got this beast.The bike at frist looks go big and imposing, but now it seems small . mybe i should not wash it so much, it could be shrinking

My first M/C licence expired 30 years, sat full licence while owing my M109R 12 month ago, most of my mates don't have full licences. Any authority sighting this message, i do not accept responsibility that what i am saying is true. Cher

Hi Drogen been for a ride on one yet? A great ride and easy to ride heaps of grunt, corners ok till you bottom out,has the wow factor anywhere you go ,and really wont be a problem riding just getting used to slow speed cornering , i hopped on one after 25 years riding only occaisionally on borrowed bikes , rode a few, but fell in love with the v twin on taking it for a ride ,now done 16000 kms in nearly a year, 1800 power only a problem if you use go juice more than experience, take one for a ride you love it or hate it, i love it .

Great to hear davesh. They are a great fun bike! Both bmz2 and myself have heavily modded the bikes for looks, performance and horsepower.... awesome beasts to ride and to view.

Hi toaster a bit off thread but would love to catch up sometime and view the beast cheers

Howzit guy's...my 2 cents worth...I've had my Boullie for 18 months now, and I would not swop it for anything. Yes, they've got their handling problems, as all cruisers do, although not as bad as most of them, but I love the bike to bits. It's a bitch keeping it clean, but worth every minute spent polishing it. and yes, it does look HUGE and FAT, and yes it does weigh in excess of 300 kg, but the bike is so well balanced that it's easier to lift off it's side stand than you'll ever imagine. And grunt...too nice...there's not too much that will leave you standing at a traffic light. It's a lot of bike for the money !!!!

BMZ2...stunning conversion...love the swingarm. That kind of shit will just cost too much here in South Africa. I have been looking for the aftermarket side mounted licence plate holder...do you have a site where I could order it from??

i have just got my full license a couple weeks ago and wish to get a bigger bike, the wife loves coming for a ride on the back with me on the GN250 i am still riding, so thought i would get a big cruiser as she didn't really like the Honda CBR1000 RR i took for a test ride the other daywith her as the pillion seat is higher and i guess feels a bit scary.

If any one has riden one or owns one could you comment on it... eg does it suck big nut balls... is it wicked cool... and so on...

Your input and comments would be a big help.

Rode my father's M109r, very nice, the most powerful production cruiser on the market, brakes off a GSXR1000, low profile tyres, handles very well I thought, definitely better than a Harley, won't break down, turns heads that's for sure!!!

The accolade is still with Triumph I believe.

Triumph Rocket III

M109R
127hp

hmm. maybe stock , big fella, but wait for it, the new street cams are going to to available very soon for the m109r and a few more mods and the bike will be at 150hp. Real McCoys m109r that graced the cover of a few magazines in the states is 200hp. these bikes are so easy to push the hp up with very little cost. the other thing is these bike can be pushed out to a 280 rear for the cost of a 10" rim or on a stock rim , with no other mods required, I am going to a 300 rear. not many bike of this size can be customized so easy. the other thing is the rocket is not a v-twin. The rocket is a nice smooth riding bike.But the m109r is a evil beast

I;m gonna dredge this as I just read a cruiser comaprison that said the rocket three corners worse that the m109r, confuzled.

Doesnt matter what cc you jump to, even a 600 can kill you quick if your stupid with it. Bloody bunch of scaremongering I fucken reckon, specially the shit mbb spouts must be just him from the amount of posts he has put up with near death experiences.

It doesn't corner worse.
The Suzuki has better lean angle.

They are both pretty easy to throw around - in the right hands.

But they are cruisers. A Fat Bob Harley handles and corners just as well.

The modern crop are all quite nicely mannered on the road. Metric or Imperial.
