Solidgun, I looked up the weight of the 109R, and it says 787 pounds dry. I bought an '07 C90T, which at that time, was 694 pounds dry. I'm 6'0" and weigh 230 pounds, and at first, I found it very difficult to handle. I second the C90 for your first bike, and if you want saddle bags, windshield, lowers, and passenger backrest, go for the C90T. It's comfortable, handles well, and has enough power to run at 80 mph all day. (I did that a few days ago.) You won't be disappointed.
