The new Suzuki Boulevard M109R. ยป More Photos
My editors here at SPEEDtv.com recently came back buzzing after their opportunity to spend a few hours in the saddle of the new Suzuki M109R during Bike Week. Fortunately, I had been lucky enough to attend the original press launch held out in Austin, Texas.
As a part of the county where the open roads seem to go on forever, the scenery is rugged without being distractingly stunning, as well as being home to ex-500cc World Champion Kevin Schwantz. As Suzuki's chosen son, Kevin would lead us for a ride that would go west to the one horse town of Luckenbach, before circling around back to his place for a Texas cookout. Accompanied by the top brass from Suzuki, Mr. Gato and Mel Harris heading the list, we even had the pleasure of the lovely Miss Suzuki's company in case we wanted a change of scenery.
In the same style as all press launches, we were introduced to the new machine before our ride, and for me it
Taking the stage, Suzuki's PR Manager, Mr. Glen Hanson, quickly lets us know how thrilled he and everyone at Suzuki are with the new M109R. Certain press launches seem to have more buzz about them than others, and with the new bike being just that, a new bike, not a warmed over existing product, the enthusiasm for it really showed.
