Suzuki and Cobra Engineering
Unveil Custom Boulevard M109R
in New York
American Suzuki Motor Corporation (ASMC), in partnership with
Cobra Engineering, today unveiled a fully customized Boulevard
M109R power cruiser at the New York International Motorcycle
Show (IMS) at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. The
bike will be on display at the Suzuki booth (Booth S) through
January 21.
Suzuki's flagship Boulevard M109R the most powerful cruiser
Suzuki has ever produced has been transformed into a heavily
modified hot rod-style cruiser, representing the company's strong
racing heritage. The Cobra Special Projects Division, led
by renowned builder Denny Berg, utilized elements of Suzuki's
championship-winning GSX-R sportbike line, including a GSX-R
20th anniversary blue and white paint scheme, GSX-R1000 foot
pegs, and sportbike-style tail section, seat and handlebar risers.
The custom M109R also features a more exposed frame, showing
off the 1783cc, liquid-cooled, V-twin powerplant with dual overhead
cams, four valves per cylinder and seamless Suzuki electronic
fuel injection. The M109R's stock engine has been designed
to produce massive waves of torque from just off idle all the
way to redline. And, the chassis comfortably handles all
the power and torque of the massive V-twin, while also delivering
agile handling and a comfortable riding position.
"We're thrilled to work with the Cobra Special Projects
Division on this awe-inspiring custom design," said Glenn
Hansen, communications manager, ASMC. "We know that
cruiser riders want 'true' high performance bikes and custom
accessories to fit their individual styles and needs. With
an array of Cobra accessories combined with the M109R's already
powerful engine design, this customized cruiser delivers on all
levels."
2007 Boulevard M109R
Suzuki introduced the much-anticipated Boulevard M109R cruiser
to its 2006 line-up to satisfy consumers' needs for a more powerful
cruiser. The M109R features Suzuki's race-proven technology
from the championship-winning GSX-R sportbike line, boasting
awesome power with its 1783cc V-Twin powerplant and an innovative
look with aggressive styling and long, sleek flowing lines that
define a new generation of Suzuki cruising machines.
From the GSX-R inspired front fender to the purposeful front
headlight to the long low fuel tank and stylish rear fender,
the M109R drips with deep rich paint complemented by mirror-like
chrome accents throughout the entire design. Other stylish
features include a wide fuel tank with a generous 5.2-gallon
capacity, a low comfortable seat, integrated frame side covers
and a uniquely designed radiator cowl. Upfront, a streamlined
headlight cover houses a unique trapezoid-shaped multi-reflector
halogen headlight and a maintenance free LED taillight built
into the tail section. Chrome dual slash cut mufflers complete
the fashionable look of the M109R.
For 2007, Suzuki introduced the Boulevard M109R Limited Edition
model. The limited edition M109R features all the benefits
of the popular cruiser with a specially designed paint scheme,
textured seat, clear taillight with red LEDs, clear turn signals
and other design extras.
Rounding out the 2007 Boulevard cruiser line are the M50, M50
Limited Edition, S40, S50, S83, C50, C50T, C50C, C90 and C90T.
