Low, swooping, and silkily
powerful, the Suzuki M109R possesses an intriguing combination of smooth lines
and aggressive performance. With a nod to the sporting aspects of the power
cruiser’s multifarious personality, Suzuki is releasing a Limited Edition
M109RZ. This low volume iteration incorporates subtle visual variations intended
to appeal to riders who appreciate more dynamic styling. (Click image to enlarge)
Clad in a brilliant blue hue that distinguishes it from the
standard issue M109R, the Limited Edition highlights the muscularity of the
bike’s sculpted shapes. Bisecting the paint is a white racing stripe that passes
over the distinctive nacelle, across the large teardrop tank, and over the
fenders. Streamlining the rear is a clear taillight lens inside which red LEDs
recess elegantly. Clear turn signals float unobtrusively on either side of the
bike’s body, providing an uncluttered look, while a checkerboard speedometer
adds another racing cue. One unique feature which, quite literally, can be
appreciated by the seat of one’s pants, is the textured saddle with an embossed
Suzuki logo. Though not quite a backrest, any added seat traction is beneficial
on a Gixxer-inspired bike notorious for lengthening arms by pulling the body
back.

While the Limited Edition shares the same mechanicals as all
M109Rs, it enjoys the bragging rights of looking ever so slightly cooler.
