Full Review: 2008 Suzuki Boulevard C109R and C109RT
Friday May 9, 2008
Everything about the 2008 Suzuki Boulevard C109 is big: from its leg spreading tank and its behemoth pistons (which Suzuki claims are the largest of any landgoing, gasoline powered vehicle) to its 240mm rear tire, this bike offers a road presence that is not for the shy or faint of heart.
To read more about the C109's Gixxer-derived engine and how it stands out in a field of thumpy cruisers and touring cruisers, check out our 2008 Suzuki C109R and C109RT review. And if you just want the visual story, be sure to take a look at our photo gallery.

Sounds like a nice ride, but radiator and shaft drive, not to mention silly little saddle bags, just kill this thing for me.
Love the size of the tires, engine, and the size of the bike in general. The saddle bags are a plus, the shaft drive is nice (low maint.). The radiator is great, especially if you live in the desert like me. More than likely this is what I will step up to, from my Suzuki C50.
Great bike … love it. Needs bigger saddle bags … my C50’s were bigger and easier to use. A 6th gear would also be a plus.
