If you've ever ridden Suzuki's Boulevard M109R, you've probably enjoyed its butt-kicking power and low-slung stance… not to mention its arm-numbing ergonomics and unrelentingly stiff ride.
So when Suzuki invited me to test the kindler, gentler Boulevard M90, I couldn't help but wonder if less is less, or—in keeping with the surprising upsides of downsizing— the smaller bike was better. I traversed California's stunning Highway 1 in search of an answer, recording my observations in my 2009 Suzuki Boulevard M90 Review; read it for the scoop on whether this so-called midsize cruiser is an ample substitutes for the pavement-pounding M109R.

Looks like a v rod copy to me.
Big radiator kills it form me.
SEXY, WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF RELEASE IM SURE SOMEONE WILL MAKE A SHROUD FOR THE RADIATOR TO MATCH THE M109R.. IM DIGGIN 2THUMBS UP.
I have a M90 and love it.
Stop hating on one of the best bikes out there today. M109 and M90 cruisers are going to be classics.
This is an awsome bike. It really handles well for a 700 pound machine, with it’s low COG. There is a shroud in the works to cover the rad. I think you can see it’s progress at http://www.M90.ca
