Fat-arse Suzukis

**merv** · 19th January 2007, 21:07

Hey I'm still working through my holiday pics sorting them out and getting them on my PC and I thought you'd like these fat arse Suzukis I spotted in NSW on 4 Jan 2007. In NZ I hadn't seen an M109R out of a showroom though I know they are around.

The Aussies on here will recognise the location.

Like the amount of rubber in the back tyre?

About the size of a Kauri tree trunk - I think tyre is a 240/40R18 M/C 79V.

Its a 240 fatty and man I'd hate to see what it'll cost to replace! The bike sits up very nicely on it too.

change up rear from 240 to 280 on std rim with 2.75 lowing kit now it becomes a sweet ride

I suppose it's not a cornering beast then? I don't mean this in a smart-arsed way. Does it greatly affect the handling?

**bmz2** · 21st January 2007, 14:06

the bike handles great you have to remember it is a 9 not a sports bike and riding styles are different , and lowing it helps you keep the low centre this bike is just on 3 feet wide, and stopping around town allow you to stop with both feet on the ground to hold 315kg of bike up , cornering is as good as the day it came off the production line.

I've seen one in WMCC - I should take it out for test. I had a Savage for a short while so the cruiser is still in me...

just watch the weight the bike is well balanced but the troque is something else value for money the 9 has it over any other cruiser at this point, try one then buy one

I saw one on the coast to coast just before christmas and Phil Turnbull had one in there the other day the salesman was trying to get me to take it for a ride, didnt want to cause the last time i took a bike for a test ride i didnt wanna get off it and had to explain to the wife why it followed me home
