In 2010, Suzuki launched the Boulevard C109RT, a cruiser motorcycle that came with a T suffix in its name that brought along touring capabilities and amenities.
The model had a low and mean cruiser look enhanced by a two-tone paint job, leather saddlebags, a passenger backrest, and a custom-designed windshield. In addition, the bike featured shiny metal studs on every leather accent and full floorboards on the rear for more passenger comfort.
It offered a comfortable riding position with its chromed pulled-back handlebars and wide seat, while the classic-styled cruiser complemented the growing range of popular Boulevard cruisers.
The high-tensile double cradle steel frame was designed to handle the power and torque provided by the engine while delivering agile handling and a smooth ride on the new 10-spoke lightweight cast-aluminum wheels that offered a classic appearance.
As for power performance, the 2010 Suzuki Boulevard C109RT took its thrust from a 1,786cc four-stroke V-Twin liquid-cooled engine that featured a Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system for low-mid range throttle response, while the fuel was ignited by a dual spark plug system that offered better combustion and fuel efficiency.
The bike developed an output power of 123 hp with a peak at 6,200 rpm and 160 Nm (118 lb-ft) of torque available at 3,200 rpm. The hot gasses produced by the engine escaped through a slash-cut chromed exhaust system designed for a deep roaring V-Twin sound and tuned for low rpm torque.
