  • Suzuki C109RT Tire wear
    By  (I am an Owner) on Aug 13, 2013

    Purchased a brand new 2009 c109rt in 2011 and have put 7500 miles on it. Great bike handles good and the price was good with 0% threw my local dealer. One draw back have have seen getting ready to replace rear tire already with cords showing through the side tread already. Thought it should last ...

  • Suzuki C109RT
    By  (I am an Owner) on Sep 19, 2011

    Hi all, i too just bought an 09 left over in 2011. I only have 400km on it, but so far it is fantastic. I owned a V-Max 1200 before this purchase, but it wasnt comfortable on a long ride. Was given an ok deal on it, but didnt get as much as i wanted out of my trade.Like always on a trade, you loose, ...

  • Suzuki C109RT power and the overall ride....
    By  (I am an Owner) on Aug 13, 2011

    As with may model-year hold overs, I was able to purchase a new 2009 model in 2011. A decent price, and (overall) the bike is excellent. Indeed, it appears to me it's just overbuilt, which is not a bad thing. Still, there are a few quirks with the bike and I suppose you could say that about any ...

  • Beautiful cruiser - a little clunky in the gearing
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jun 12, 2011

    For the price, it's the #1 2009 cruiser out there, now coming in at around $11,000 plus t&t and some ridiculous dealer charges (face it; motor vehicle dealers are great at slight of hand and they'll always take back any discount or high trade-in value with some sort of coupon book or prep charge). ...

    The C109RT in black and red is a real head-turner, but so is the loud shift clunking, especially between first and second gear. And I don't know who wrote the manual...shift up to 5th gear at 30? This think lugs in 5th anytime it's below 40. I'm not sure where these are performance or ride and comfort ratings, but I'll call it performance and leave ride and comfort unscathed.

    It's reasonably comfortable, remarkably maneuverable, considering it's nearing 900 pounds and it's got a lot of top end that I'll never use. I was concerned about city driving, but my only fear is of erratic and irrational car and truck drivers; I guess that's par for any course, but ESPECIALLY in Houston!

    I thought I'd raise the rating from 42 out of 105, but after what I just wrote, I guess I can't. But I love her just the same and she'll probably be my last (non-scooter) bike, considering I'm 57 and I bought the maximum Suzuki ESP warranty. (That wasn't negotiable - told you - but, at least, they "threw in" - yeah, right - the tire and wheel protection plan.)

  • Great Bike!!
    By  (I am an Owner) on May 03, 2009

    Purchase my unit in Nov 2008. Been nothing less than truly impressed by this bike. I was debating between the "9" and a 2008 HD Heritage. After comparing price, technology and performance the "9" was a clear winner. While the bike is big, I prefer big and it handles wonderfully once you get ...
