14,000+ miles and loving it.

In August 2008 I was in the market for a new cruiser and looked at many different ones including a Harley. Since I currently owned a 2003 Suzuki VL1500 Intruder with over 30,000 + miles my loyalty towards Suzuki quality, pricing, and service was the deciding factor in my purchase of the C109RT. I cu...rrently have over 14,000+ miles on my C109 and it loves to cruise. It did take me a few miles before I became accustom to its riding characteristics, it’s big but once its rolling it handles very well. Distance riding is comfortable for both the driver and the passenger even after 600 miles. The only complaint I have is the tire life of the rear tire is only 4500 hundred miles. Overall the C109 is a great performing bike and easy on the budget.

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 Read Full Review

First tour ride to 2010 Sturgis

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. After 1...000 miles handles like small rear tire bikes-becomes easy cornering. Why pay 30+K for cvo Sceaming Eagle motor? Met another owner in Sturgis said he rode his C109RT out last year and this year from Idaho with no problems.

What took me so long?

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+ ...on mine. Power, comfort, and a real head turner. While all my friends say, "Is that a Harley?" I answer them, better than. It's a solid bike for a big guy like me. It turns heads every time I stop and what amazes me is that Suzuki stopped making this model 3 yrs ago now. Why? It is a beast and rides like a dream. Aside from some maintenance problems recently, I love this bike. In fact I'd buy a new one if that were possible. Now I'm looking for a trailer to pull behind me. 37/40 mpg!! Read Full Review
