Yesterday I was having an afternoon ride and was approaching the roundabout at Silverstream Bridge taking a right, and up on the left lane were two immaculate looking Suzuki bikes taking a right, the were silver grey with boulevard [I think] on the tank and low wide rear wheel. I was gob smacked they looked just jaw dropping great.
Anyone else seen these bikes - What The are they?

If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

looking at the spec m109, with me being a short ass, the seat height is only 5mm higher than my bike.

Suzuki Vrod? what an insult to Suzuki :P as for M109's bleh, too heavy and too much bodykit!! My M50 does 190, or there abouts, the 109 is said to do 220, I know vtwins aren't built for speed, and those things sure aren't. I don't think someone who has only had experience riding a GN250 should jump up to an 1800, even brand new GN250's are dogs to ride, they bounce all over the road, you need to work your way up to it or at least ride something with better handling, like an FXR150.
(I say this from the stand point, that I own an FXR and have owned a GN and ridden lots of bikes since I first got my license.)

The 109 is alot of bike which adds to the experience. It certianly makes a statement on the road.

You'd wake up the baby riding that beast around the valley buckbuck!
One hell of a ride.
'I couldn't afford a Harley' ?
I gave it a very favourable review. Good bike.
Personally If I could afford either I would buy a 07 softail custom.
But for 20 large a m109 in the shed would not be hard to live with at all.
They accelerate like a Busa down low.

Spec seat heights can be deceiving. Being a serious short-arse myself, and attracted to the big cruisers, I check out the seat specs on all bikes that appeal.
Alas, most big-bore cruisers are also rather wide, which in practice adds quite a bit to the actual "inside leg" measurement.
A large proportion of big-bore cruisers have seats lower than my Virago. But while I can sit flat-foot on the Virago, I'm tip-toe on these other bikes. Not very confidence inspiring when trying to manoeuver 300+ Kg around....
Seat height specs should be replaced with an "inside leg" spec, i.e. centre of seat to ground.

No I wouldn't really, honest to goodness, I wouldn't really and truly I wouldn't, I promise I'll be real good, if you could just park it up in the garage for me Drum - and there I would be quite content to wait until the wee one got a little older and honest I would never disturb her sleeping, true honest to goodness.

The 109 is out there in the emotive dreamland of what will be, will be. In the meantime I will be progressing slowly up the levels 600/800cc probably the next bike nothing larger that's for sure.
My goal is to have toured the Sth Island by age 60 [6yrs to go] and then a retirement bike to cruise. Meanwhile, bikes in between will be progressive stepping stones.

Phoenix, BuckBuck is positioned at the other end of the rollercoaster to you. He'd cope with it after a GN, NO Worries.
It's not the cubic capacity, it's the desire to learn and the application of the knowledge that is important.
Ask Hitcher if going from 250cc to a series of 12-1300cc bikes was a bad idea.
Sunhuntin' would be another I expect to see going from the 250cc Virago to a big HD, and I'd have no drama with that either.
I shouldn't have been allowed to step up to 400cc until this year on the other hand.
