In 2011, when Suzuki launched the Boulevard M109R Limited Edition as if the bike was not aggressive enough, the manufacturer added some classic racing strips and adjacent pinstripes, which extended all the way from the mean-looking headlight to the Hayabusa-like tail section.
The instrument cluster received a custom look with a polished face design for a sportier look, and the seat came with a special badge. The enhancements of the 2011 Boulevard M109R Limited Edition were only in the aesthetic department, as the bike was identical to the base model in the tech department.
The bike featured a race-proven braking system that came right from the sports bike with two 310 mm discs squeezed by a couple of two-piston calipers on the front and a 274 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the rear.
As for suspension, it came with an inverted front fork with race-proven internals, and on the rear, it had a cast-aluminum alloy swingarm bolted to a pre-load adjustable single shock absorber.
The 2011 Suzuki Boulevard M109R rolled on a set of lightweight spiral cast-aluminum wheels, shod with Dunlop tires, and on the rear, it featured the widest tire ever mounted on a Suzuki motorcycle. Also, the model packed the largest pistons ever used by a production motorcycle.
As for power, the bike took its thrust from a 1,786cc four-stroke V-Twin liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 123 hp at 6,200 rpm and 160 Nm (118 lb-ft) of torque at 3,200 rpm.
