A new bandit has been released to prowl the streets of Australia - Suzuki's brand new Bandit 1200S motorcycle.

The wait is over - Suzuki's much anticipated 1800cc Boulevard M109R muscle cruiser has arrived!

Stepping straight to the top of the Suzuki cruiser range, the new high-performance machine combines modern cruiser styling with leading edge technology.

The largest capacity production motorcycle ever created by Suzuki, the Boulevard M109R is equipped with an enormous 1783cc (109 cubic-inch), 4-valve, DOHC, fuel injected, V-twin engine designed to offer strong throttle response and mind-blowing acceleration.

A massive 112mm bore and 90.5mm stroke utilises huge 112mm forged aluminium-alloy pistons - the largest reciprocating engine pistons of any production passenger car or motorcycle in the world.

The new leader of the Boulevard series, the M109R features a purpose-built fuel injection system for smooth throttle response even at low rpm and improves combustion efficiency and torque output.

A strong, five-speed transmission features carefully selected gear ratios to offer comfortable cruising across a variety of riding situations.

Fitted with a 2-into-1-into-2, stainless steel, chromed exhaust, the muscular cruiser features Suzuki's digitally controlled SET (Suzuki Exhaust Tuning) system for optimum engine performance and offers up the M109R's satisfying, powerful V-twin engine note.

Supporting the M109R's muscular powerplant is a high-tensile, double-cradle steel frame built to comfortably handle the machine's power and torque while delivering agile handling and a plush smooth ride.

Shod with beefy Dunlop radial tyres to put its awesome power to the road, the Boulevard M109R's rear tyre is the widest ever seen on a Suzuki motorcycle - measuring a massive 240/40-18.

Offering extended touring range, the wide, 19-litre capacity fuel tank flows into integrated side covers, stylish radiator cowl and a comfortable low seat.

The solo-seat cover offers the M109R an aggressive, sporty look and can be quickly and easily swapped for the included passenger seat when required.

To complement the powerful V-twin engine, the Boulevard M109R features a stylish, innovative, high-performance look with long, sleek, flowing lines.

The Boulevard M109R's distinctive, new, performance-cruiser styling is completed with large chrome handlebars and long, chrome, slash-cut, dual mufflers.

Available in Pearl Black at an SRP of $18,990 (inc GST) plus on road costs, the all-new Suzuki Boulevard M109R features a two-year unlimited kilometre warranty.
