Saw this thing on Suzuki's website a few months ago. Fell in love instantly. Picked mine up yesterday. It is awesome.

Rode some 600 Ninjas back in college many years ago, but never a power cruiser like this 109. It has taken a little getting used to in terms of low speed handling.

It sucks having to wait for the 600 mile point which marks the end of the break in period. I really want to open this thing up!

Any other riders on this forum?

Dude, that first one in red and white looks tight! I really like that headlight housing design.

Tell me about it. It's killing me that I still can't afford it yet. But soon, very soon. The R6 is a little bad ass, just like me. Enjoy riding that baby.

I didn't want to steal attention away from your beauty but I'll include a pic.

It's Springtime! I know nothing about motor bikes, but yours looks cool. It's kind of futuristic looking but at the same time seems inspired by old, 'yesteryear' bikes... I dig stuff like that.

ok, that is one of the strangerest-looking bikes I have seen in a long time and I think it might be growing on me. I havent been much of a Suzuki fan but I think I'm going to have to swing by the dealership on the way home. Whats the dry weight? Mines pretty big, almost 700 pounds and that took some getting used to.

ah ha. same weight as mine, but with a 1700cc engine...hmmm, interesting. Never buy new but in a year I'm definitely gonna hafta check one out... How's the gearing on the rear? Thats the one downside to shaft drive, loses a good bit of power.

Nice looking bike. I have had too many scares to ride anymore. I am no longer invincible.
