|  How Does Your M109r Handle Since the M109R is Suzuki's newest combo-bike, "SPORT/CRUISER" and taking into account that people ride differently, those of you that have one or have ridden one enough to form an opionion about it's handling, let's hear your thoughts  Note: I know there are already different threads for the M109R, but I was thinking we could do a few segments on Specific Characteristics. (also if we could keep it topic specific to be easier to read for everyone)

|  I've got just over 1k miles on my 109...and have to tell ya,,the handling really suprized me...I mean after all the hipe about the big tire handling like crap..I came from a 04 marauder 1600(same as the mean streak) and all the kawi guys say the bike handles better than any other crusier.well I'm here to tell ya ,,my 109 handles as well or better than my 1600.....scrapped a few heels(drags first before the peg) and I can corner with the best of them..the steering is very light and responsive,,unlike my 1600 ..it was heavy...so,,Thats my story and I'm sticken to it....  |

| Most so far at one time was 300 miles...and on my marauder 1600 ,,I got the numb butt after only 100 miles..but the m109 has the best seat I've ever sat on...even better than my ol vtx 1800...the reach is good for me,,shoulders where alittle sore afterwards ,,but thats about it...Ride it stiffer than the 1600 ,,but haven't adjusted the rear shock yet...eveyone says its abit on the hard side from the fact.,,tracks well on bumps and irregular road surfaces,,bout the same as the 1600....I do feel ,,I can ride this further and longer than my ol 1600 or 1800,, |

  | I have almost 600 miles on my M109 and it hands down is the best bike i have been on. I had a 04 1600 Mean Streak before this and the M109 puts it to shame. takes corners soooo easy. feels like a sport bike. and with the nice wide seat i can go for ever and not get sore.. LOVE IT
