Anyone hear about next year there being a c109?

BowDown · 07-14-2007, 11:04 PM

That's going to be one heavy bike.

rathr-b-cruisin · 07-15-2007, 07:28 AM

yeah, its on suzuki's website.

Man, where you been?.that's been common knowledge for about 6 months.

I'm liking the paint scheme & cast wheels. Wish they'd put a 2-1 exhaust on it so you could mount a decent sized saddle bag.

I agree Bud, that's why I installed Roadhouse 2 in 1 on my C50, I like the smooth uncluttered look of 2 in 1 exhaust. Sounds great too.

looks like a bigger C90 though.

One question,, is the gas tank mounted under the seat???? I see the buldge under the seat like the C90 and the LC has on them.

foambuilder · 07-18-2007, 12:46 PM

If the gas tank is under the seat it will be small. This stupid design flaw is bad enough on a C90 - can't cruise becuz it doan have the range... but would be just idiotic in a bigger bike which would translate to an even shorter range. Example - Reno, NV to Winnemucca, NV = 176 miles on I80. Maaaaybe there is something open in Lovelock, NV. A C90 would have a hard time to make this trip-leg.

If I am wrong, then I retract the statement.

The Suzuki web site says it's got a 5 gallon tank (the C90 is 3.7 for comparison). I don't know what the MPGs are, though..

Powerslave · 08-02-2007, 10:21 PM

How can the C90 be a 3.7 Gallon tank, when the C50 is a 4.1?

Because the engineers at Suzuki weren't thinking that day. The tank is under the seat (presumably to lower the center of gravity), but still, a small tank on a power plant that's known to like its fuel was a bad choice.

TFee3 · 08-03-2007, 09:18 PM

I have to agree with Bud. I just bought a C90T, and I have to stop after riding about 140 miles for more fuel. It's not at the point of desperation, but my old Suzuki had a 6-gallon tank, so it's a pain in the rear. I also added another 6 gallons on my old Suzuki by rigging a 6-gal can from the rack to the carbs. I could ride as long as my kidneys held out. I might just do that with my new bike for long trips. Once I get in the saddle, I hate to stop very often.

I just put the Cobra powerpro HP 2 into 1 on my 07 C90 . I love the look, sound, and hp gain.
Now that I am rid of the exhaust collector I am thinking about adding the "G-man auxillary gas tank" that would bring capacity to about 6 gallons...

Love the thought of a 240 rear tire on the C109 but I'm keeping my 90 for at least a few years......
