Magazine Articles:

MCN -- June 2006, page 16 -- Suzuki M109R: Super Cruiser

    "Most impressive is the power on tap with the slightest twist of the right wrist ... Perhaps the next most impressive feature of the 109 is the absence of vibration. We can't think of another V-twin that runs so smoothly. We found the mirrors to offer us one, and only one, image when we glanced to the rear, regardless of engine speed." -- Walt Fulton, Contributor

Motorcyclist -- May 2006, page 86 -- First Ride: 2006 Suzuki Boulevard M109R

    "What sets the M109R apart, though, is its headlight nacelle, a feature of the bike since early design sketches. The nacelle is shaped and angled like some smaller flyscreens, and on the M109R it works to a degree far greater than its diminutive size suggests." -- Charles Everitt, Senior Editor
Rider -- July 2006, page 50 -- Mr. Motor
    "With the engine belting out its lumpy idle we chunked it into gear and, once rolling, holy mother of pearl, did that thing pull! Give it heavy throttle low in the rev range, and the M109R shudders and pounds through the seat like a built bike, but as soon as it crosses about 2,500 rpm the engine smoothes out and remains so up to redline." -- Bill Stermer, Contributor
