What would you do? Decisions, hate em! - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

If your spouse had a C90 already and that is what you were looking to get, but were also considering the M109R, Would you get yourself a C90, in your own colors, or get a M109R, so you would have a choice of bikes to ride? Depending on what was left in the garage when you went to work that is. Is the M109R a comfortable enough bike since we both have back problems? Mainly for the long haul?

I haven't ridden the 109 but I own a 07 C90 and have a drivers backrest (very comfy!!!)....
I would stick with the C90 over the M just because i prefer the C style of bike.... if I was shopping for a bike now I may well end up with the C109...

Is there really a bike color other than black

You've got to ask yourself a few questions. What type of riding will you mostly be doing? Those who ride cruizers usually place a high value on comfort, and this sounds true for you. In reality, will the long hauls you speak of be the majority of your riding, or only occasionally?
While I have never ridden a C90, I have ridden the M109R. The M is a very impressive machine. Personally, I like the sportier styling of the M series, which is why I went for the M50. I would go for a little variety and choose the M109R. Of course, if you like the look of the C series, the C109 may be better suited to your purpose. All the best in deciding...

to the forum BTW.

I haven't ridden any of those bikes you mentioned so I can't speak for the bike. But it just sounds like more fun if you had two different bikes to ride.

I'd take a look at the c109 myself. Then the m109, then the c90.

frostbitevinnie · 08-18-2007, 10:56 PM

Oh man, absolutely no question!! Get the 109. My local dealer has it for $10,700 with zero miles. I bought the 90 thinking my wife would like to ride along, she hates it!! So now I really wish I had the 109. A very hot bike!!!

I have a M50, which I am happy with, but....

Borrowed a M109 for 3 hrs, and now have to have one.

Cant beat cubes!

Was worried about the wide rear tyre and handling, so went through the hills and megatwisties for 3 hrs.
No problems, even in traffic!

Just do it!

M109 is such a nice ride. If those are the two I was looking at the 109 wins.

VITIXER · 08-24-2007, 10:41 PM

Thanks for all the replies, I was starting to think maybe on the C109R a combo of the orginal two in question. But, we already have a C90 in the garage, so the M109R wins this debate hands down.

Now do I want to get a good deal on the left over 2007 white one the dealer has, (the original color almost bought a few months ago) or wait 4-6 more months to get the screaming yellow LE?

Choices, choices choices!

I mean the yellow would match the Mustang perfectly! But having to share the one bike for 6 more months

I'm thinking go get the white one this weekend!

frostbitevinnie · 08-25-2007, 12:22 AM

There is a really nice red one here in town.
