== Overview ==

Suzuki Boulevard M109R2
















The R2 is based closely on the standard M1800R  the mechanical
specifications are exactly the same.
That means the same 1783cc fuel-injected, liquid-cooled v-twin (the
radiator is neatly faired in at the front), in basic tubular frame with a
single shock absorber and upside-down forks.
Radial four-piston brakes from the original 1800R are used, which in turn
were taken from the GSX-R series.
The aluminium dish wheels with small teardrop cut-outs are also carried
over.
The M1800R2 differs in only in styling, getting a sculpted headlight
(apparently inspired by jet-aircrafts intakes) instead of a larger unit with
a cowling.
The tank, seat (with a cowl over the pillion seat), mudguard, radiator
shroud, split instrument display, handlebars and foot controls are
unchanged.
The thing that made me appreciate this motorcycle is the
great amount of power provided by Suzukis sportbike-derived fuel injection.
This strongly-developed set-up kicks off with the Idle Speed Control (ISC)
valve system that adjusts the starting idle to compensate for hot or cold
engine and outside temperatures. Fuel and air is taken into the system by
two single-barrel throttle bodies which feature dual throttle valves. On all
this technology, it is added the ECM that uses a 32-bit processor and I
start wondering if this motorcycle could end up any better.

Suzukis Exhaust Tuning (SET) has the purpose of improving combustion while
it passes spent gasses through a catalytic converter and the 2-into1-into-2
exhaust system. The sound is awesome and the joy of riding the Suzuki is
nowhere else encountered.

As I pulled away in the saddle of the M109R2 I immediately noticed that the
bike is very easy to maneuver at slow speeds and as I went through the rpm
range and through all the five gears, I also noticed how light it seems when
it is really exploited.

A very important aspect that will play a deciding role in weather the ride
will repeat itself or not was the comfortable riding position which can only
be beaten by the very broad seat the ergonomics.

Operating the controls on the handlebars became second nature in only a few
hours but what I immediately noticed was the light throttle action.

The front brakes are more than enough for this kind of ride, boasting
radial-mount Tokico four-piston calipers grabbing a pair of 310mm floating
discs.

I especially loved that I didnt had any worry concerning the heat from the
exhaust pipes which by the time, really started to guide me with their
sound. Thankfully the heat shields do an excellent job and no heat was
transferred to my leg. It is also a good thing that they look awesome too.


All manufacturers should see the improved version of the M109R2 as a strong
competitor in the world of cruisers. The fact that it has just entered the
scene says a lot on Suzukis future plans and developing ideas. Good luck to
them!
Conclusion
The Boulevard M109R2 balances that heart-pounding
performance with crisp handling, thanks to a technically advanced chassis,
suspension and world-class brakes. Also featuring a cool design, the 2008
M109R2 is the perfect way to stand out on the Boulevard.
