So tell me something I don't know please.


Ok FalconA, I will tell you something you dont know. You sir are an A$$hole

 

VIVA LA TERRY!!!!!!

 

Compared to my sportbikes and track bikes (totalling 4 in number), my Harley doesn't have enough power to get out of its own way, is lumbering and sluggish, stops and steers like the Titanic. Yet despite that, since I purchased it, its the only thing I am riding on the streets. Except for the race track, I don't even look at the sportbikes now. On the track, it's a completely different story.

 

You guys seemed to be having fun. Wanted to let you play with the Troll for awhile.

 

Here's a review on the M109........ It's definitely you

-- Suzuki's Gremlin

First Impression: Looks & Fit/Finish I was literally blown away that I had now seen a bike that looked better in pictures than in person. I was disappointed to say the least. The bike looks like it was thrown together like a last minute college essay. By far the worst aspect is the god-awful inch-long tank seam that goes on for days. It's so bad that I almost wanted to go get some of that $4 chrome fender trim to accentuate it. I figured if Suzuki can't do any better of a job of hiding a seam, I might as well bling it out and make it look like the autrocity that it is. The second worst appearance flaw has to be the way Suzuki half-*** tried to flow the body together between the radiator, tank, side covers and rear fender. I realize that there ARE pieces there, but good god it couldn't have looked more slapped together. At some seams, there was an eighth-inch difference in panel flush heights! The final appearance flaw is the fenders. The front fender looks like Suzuki stole it off of a Goldwing and the rear end looks like you could fit a 380 series tire under it even if it were 6" lower. Honestly, the gargantuan, flat, rear fender and gaps make the meaty 240 Dunlop look smaller than the 200 on a Warrior by perspective. The overall fit and finish of this bike is an absolute disaster. The only aesthetic compliments I have are that the left side of the rear wheel looks good and clean and the rear seat cover looks good when installed. Test Ride: Comfort While I knew that I wouldn't buying this bike solely because of its looks, I decided to give it a nice, long test ride anyway just to see if Suzuki got anything right. As far as riding comfort, it was quite nice. Although the bike feels bulky and waaaaaay too big for a "power cruiser" the ride is cushy on bumps but not at all washy in the corners. However, corner tracking is another matter to be discussed in performance & handling. I realize, however that this bike may not be comfortable to the "average" person. I'm big and tall so stretching out and wind blasts don't really bother me. Therefore, if feeling like a ruptured duck in the wind is not your idea of a good riding experience, stay away from this bike until a windshield is available. Also, I wouldn't recommend this bike to anyone who isn't at least 5'10" with a little bulk or muscle either - it is a lot to deal with at low speeds, in corners and just too big for its intended class/use. As far as vibration, Suzuki did get this right-on. This by far has to be the most vibration isolated bike I've ridden over 1100CC's. Good Job. I also have to give credit to the passenger accomodations. While I stick by my argument that the rear fender is too bulky for this bike, it does allow for the biggest bitch pad I've seen on a "power cruiser" to date. I didn't hop back there, but the passenger pegs look negotiable for companion comfort as well. My only real complaint in comfort doesn't really have to do with comfort, but rather comfort longevity. If you'll notice the rider's seat has a lot of slack in the cover material off of the pad material. Pushing down on the middle of the seat with your hand you'll feel that there's about a sixteenth-inch gap between the seat top and the pad. This is going to wear out and/or tear quickly. Test Ride: Performance The 109 is quick, but not that quick. I guarantee that despite its 120+ "supposed" horsepower, a V-Rod will easily dust you from a light to wherever you want to give up while a Warrior will get you in the first 1/8 mile. However, put all three bikes on a set of twisties and you're sure to come in dead last because of the lack of low-end torque and sheer bulk. Keep in mind that while the 109 is 7 cubic inches bigger than the Warrior it is also 90 "Dry" pounds heavier. In addition, the wet weight will have you at an even bigger disadvantage because the 109 requires liquid coolant and carries more
