This is my street Suzuki. Your Suzuki may have four wheels compared to my two, but my engine's bigger than yours! The pic is when it was pretty much new.
It's a Suzuki Boulevard C109RT, that's the top spec 109ci cruiser. Only got the RT model as it was going for cheap, would have been fine with the base model.
Really nice and comfy to ride and handles well.
Biggest problem is the fact that its a cruiser and was not meant to scream around corners. This is why I'm having to spend $800 on tyres every 3000km and have scraped half the running boards away.
Have had a few brown undies moments chasing CBR1000's due to corner speed. Sportsbikes can simply lean further if they enter a corner too hot, I can only lean till the chassis scrapes on the ground, then the Armco gets very close...

Can you fit a milk carton in each of your cylinders? I can!

Yeh as someone already converted, its a 1.8 litre inline twin, and fuck can it rev!

I knew that I would not be able to take corners like I did on the sportsbike, but I didn't think it would be quite as bad. Even if I modified the chassis to get it to lean more, the tyres just would not take it, trying to throw 360kg of bike around a corner fast with all that torque; the tyres just don't last.

Mines due for new tyres now, will be the 4th set and it's got 16,000km on it :(

Nice bit of gear PJ... not my style (yet) but nice all the same.

Oh, and yes it's definitely a V-Twin :lol:
