In 2009, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Suzuki Boulevard C109RT SE, a cruiser motorcycle that brought a stylish combination of touring amenities with sober looks and the most elegant mixture of well-mannered elegance and on-road worthiness.
The bike was built to conquer long distances while carieing the massive V-Twin engine that also powerd the M109R flagship model with the same five-speed transmission and low maintenance shaft drive.
The high-tensile double cradle steel frame was designed to handle all the power and torque released by the engine while still delivering agile handling and a smooth ride.
On the front side of the frame, there was a 49 mm telescopic fork that offered 130 mm wheel travel, while on the rear, a link-type aluminum swingarm bolted to a hidden pre-load adjustable shock absorber that offered a hard tail look and provided the smooth suspension.
On the engine side, the 2009 Suzuki Boulevard C109RT SE had its heartbeat set by a 1,783cc four-stroke V-Twin liquid-cooled engine that featured a Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system for low-mid throttle response and high torque output. The fuel was ignited by a dual spark plug system that provided better combustion, fuel efficiency, and reduced emissions.
As for the power figures, the bike developed an output power of 123 hp at 6,200 rpm and 160 Nm (118 lb-ft) of torque at 3,200 rpm. All that power was transformed by a stainless steel chromed exhaust system in deep, powerful V-Twin sound.
