I bought a 2010 C-109R (heavier crank/flywheel and smaller intake cam) back in Feb. Had pipes, and intake done, but rode like a pig. A dyno tune later, electronic limiters in 1st-3rd gears removed, 110hp@6700 and 120lb-ft at 3400 at the tyre was the result. Weighing in at a hefty 1102lb with me on it it'll smoke that 240 rear on the roll in 2nd, and with very soft launches will still run mid 13's at 108mph. As for gearing, it's incredibly long gearing. First will pull past 60, and my C hit the limiter at 134mph in 3rd. Bang for buck, for me the 109's are hard to beat. Suzuki wanted a big twin, so they used GSX-R tech, let their engineers play. The 109's were the result, and I believe the M has been in production since '04 with very few changes, and the C had a short stint from '08-'13. If you haven't already, I hope you do the 2nd video on it and actually give it a proper twist of the wrist, cause it looked like you were just tickling it in this video.
I'm in my 60s and I've been riding sportsbikes since 1986. My latest is a 2010 Kawasaki ZX14 which I've had since new. Love it. But lately my knees, not so much. Thinking of a cruiser or sports tourer switch, can't make up my mind.
If your talking about the guy who commented then no… I just seen a rough running Audi on his channel along with miles of how to fix videos for the car in his playlist….he’s angry that his car won’t run right so he comes here to take it out on my watch and a guys crocs😂😂
@@hunterrides lol poor guy, I bet there's an issue with the timing and he's upset that you have to pull the entire engine cause German engineers are sadists. Nice watch, shoes and bike by the way 😂👍
i love my 109, rebuilt the engine and transmission, would really like to swap my exhaust out though, those short pipes look nice, can't make a decision
@@nevTk-oe9ud i sell motorcycle gear for a living, and the wife is an operating room nurse. so i've def seen alot of things that'd make me never wanna ride without one
Had my 2008 model for 9 years, best bike I ever had, keeping it, no need for another, eats highway and quick
i test rode this bike at my local bike week back in April; i was so impressed with this motorcycle. So fast and handled well.

Sport Touring seems like the best of both worlds! hope you find something youll love
You should sell that baggy watch and buy your boy some shoes
Sell that Audi and you won’t be a bum on a motorcycle video worrying about a watch and shoes
Are you guys friends lol

Only bad thing here is a grown ass man on a motorcycle wearing crocs 😂
Camo-Crocs. I guess to sneak attack the garden Gnomes
Facts.
If buying new fire up in gear & mainly take-off in 2nd after a year or two she'll click through the gears like a 650 :))
How do you compare the M 109 to the Honda VTX 1800? If you have the experience of riding one
never rode a VTX. but i do know there is no comparison in power between the 2 cruisers...The M109 would absolutely leave a VTX Behind.
It needs a Moore mafia tune really bad!! Those exhaust pipes with the off throttle popping shows it's not tuned for that exhaust.
@@louisjohnsonjr.4934 the owner already had it tuned by Moore.

What's the purpose of wearing gloves if you're not protecting your arms?
M109R > sv 650. thing sounds sick tho ngl
tell shadow rider wear a helmet or ima t bone em
Yep um from Australia no way ever I would ride without a lid , juz waiting to die if you do bro 😮

I bought one for my first bike
try bmw k1600 gtl with 160hp ...then we talk
2 different style bikes? Makes no sense man😅
@@hunterrides in some degree makes no sense - k1600 is touring cruiser so I agree to disagree
That thing must make your ears bleed at full throttle. That's nothing but two shorty straight pipes.
K1600gt solos😂
Who tf puts a tach in the fuckin gas tank....
Who doesn't know the difference between in and on?
Ummm....... No one? The tach is on the bars, and the speedo is on the tank.
You should move your head more.
i will🙂
