  • What took me so long?
    By  (I am an Owner) on Nov 23, 2012

    I bought my C109RT October 2011. I had only riden a bike of any size a few times and was a bit nervous. While looking through all of the choices for a big cruiser, I sat on my beautiful blue/white C109Rt and it fit me like a glove. While I did buy it used with 23000 miles on it, I've put 10,000+ ...

  • I Still Love It
    By  (I am an Owner) on Feb 07, 2012

    I bought my C109RT (Blu/Wht) from Turn One Motorsports in Plymouth IN in 2008. I had alraedy owned a C50, for about 2 mo. traded on a '06 C90 for more power and room for my wife and loved it, but my friend who had his C50RT and myself a C90RT heard on the wind of a beast from the east. Well our salesman ...

    By  (I am an Owner) on Sep 09, 2010

    Took bike to Sturgis, put on 3000 miles.

    Outran Harley's in my group with ease. Needed no oil adds like Harleys with me. Did not have any breakdowns like 2 of the Harleys with me. Super comfortable for old 300 # guy. Went thru needles and hairpins, custer, blackhills et al -no problem. ...

  • great value
    By  (I am an Owner) on Oct 03, 2009

    with the exception of the transmission clunk when shifting this bike out shines anything in its class. stabilty with the 240 on the rear is excellent,bags could be a bit bigger but they do the job

  • Great Bike
    By  (I am an Owner) on Sep 22, 2009

    I have had this bike for 9 months and have over 5,000 miles on it. Bike is very stable on the road. I feel just as comfortable going 100 mph (or faster) as 2 mph in a parking lot. It will run circles around my wife's Fatboy and costs thousands less. It accelerates like a sport bike. Would not trade ...

  • Outstanding Bike
    By  (I am an Owner) on Feb 03, 2009

    Purchased this bike Nov 2008. I considered the HD Heritage but price / value became the overriding factor. This Suzuki is smooth, fast and a head turner. First, the size alone is awesome and so is the power. Handling is superb once you get moving. The only down side is checking the oil ...

  • Best bike I ever owned
    By  (I am an Owner) on Sep 30, 2008

    I've had my C109RT since 5-30-08 and as of 9-30-08 have put 7200 miles on it. Incredible isn't enough to describe this machine. Mind boggling power, surprizing handling for such a beast and fuel mileage thats equally outstanding. Would not trade it for anything on the market today.

  • Nothing compares
    By  (I am an Owner) on Sep 25, 2008

    The magazine articles you read that tell you that this is setting the standard for the heavyweight cruisers are all true.

    This is the perfect bike if you want a cruiser but want to do heavy duty touring as well.

    The throttle is a little sensitive when you first get it, but as the miles ...

    The width and weight of the bike (787lbs) make it unstoppable on the road and with the wide windshield and lowers, you barely feel rain, buffering from oncoming traffic and wind.

    This is an extremely powerful and stable bike.
