- Today on Jon's Moto Garage we take the 2008 Suzuki Boulevard C109R (C109RT) for a spin and discuss how much it cost, what the estimated market value is, and potential profit to be made on another motorcycle buy/sell/craigslist FLIP! Plus we get to hear the C109R with aftermarket exhaust! Do you prefer stock, or do you dig the LOUD pipe?

How much do you think this used C109R is worth? Did I get ripped off?
Definitely, just got one in better shape and lower miles for $3300
I just bought a 2009 109RT with 8800 miles on it for $5k a couple of weeks ago. Has all the light upgrades, saddle boxes, trunk and fairing as well as aftermarket pipes. I love the big guy. Looks perfect, and is the perfect size. I make it look small at 6'6" and 240 lbs.
I also have the 2008.
Has 173,000 miles on it.
First and only owner.
Size isn't a problem for me, I'm 6ft.4. (1.91m).
It's my daily commuter.
Nice! Good to hear they can handle that kind of mileage. Awesome!
That’s a lot of miles …any issue with 2nd gear issue …on older bikes ?
@@Cl3VER6 Had to do the rebuilt after 80,000 miles
I'm used to short shift as fast as possible to Fifth gear
Not like some US riders I see on YT that ride every gear till the end
That introduces much more stress on the gears
Don't have the C anymore, traded it June 10 2020 for a 2015 M109 BOSS
I love my 09 C109RT. I drive it all around town without issues. This bike is monsterously huge but once you get familiar with that its a very easy bike to ride anywhere.
No you did not get ripped off Suzukis best cruiser. 53 more hps than Indians 111 fantastic bike good rear suspension travel I would kill to get one .You are one lucky guy.
Thanks brother!
Just bought one of these in the UK £7500 22,000 miles! It’s a beauty! Holding their value here because no one selling them! Holding onto them because they are so good. This is my second one
I own an 09 C109RT and its a beautiful back and red duel tone color. I test rode an M109R because its the top muscle bike and everyone raves about how incredibly fast the M109R is but i was disappointed in its performance as my C109RT was clearly faster in the low end and Infinitly more comfortable than that stiff slow M109R
I bought my brand new 2017 in the beginning of 2018 for $9.500. Mine is the M109R BOSS. I hate freeway riding. I like the winding country back roads of Missouri.
Exactly there's a time to ride where to ride what time today it is and so on everybody goes oh oh it's such a nice day how come you're not riding your motorcycle cuz I'm not ready to ride my motorcycle until I'm ready to ride my motorcycle make sense especially in 32567 in the evening you got the point good job bro
I have seen some 2019 with only a few miles for a little over $10,000 for the M109r.
Love mine. Only problem I've had with the boulevards because I had the 50, 90 and now the c109. Did head bearing all three. Bikes have handlebar shake riding with no hands. Test your bike. Speeds between 30 and 50mph. They use tapered bearings for replacement. Be careful riders.
Thanks for the info! Good to know!
I'm looking for m109r you got the one you had for $4300 that is unbelievable, can't find one that cheap
Yeah, they don't come around that cheap often. You gonna sell the sportster or keep em both?
Thank you best import video 💗on v twins Cruisers windshield bags backrest Etc thank you
Hanging out at the Mall with a bunch of inexperienced 16 year old drivers and elderly folks with slow reaction time... Great Idea!
What's up jon
Which bike do you prefer between the Suzuki c109rt or the Yamaha Stratoliner?
Personally, I would opt for the stratoliner. Overall feels a bit more refined in cleft and handling. But the c109r is probably has better performance.
@@JonsMotoGarage so the c109r has better performance but the stratoliner has better handling
And which one runs faster?
So..What you are saying is if I found one for $1800 w/ 9k miles, just buy it??
I'd snatch that up in a heartbeat! Lol🏍🤙
Jon, what one is the better bike, c109, or m109r
If I planned on doing lots of longer rides, i would go with the c109rt. It's more comfortable and had all the extras (floorboards, windscreen, saddle bags, etc.). Otherwise, I like the look and stance of the m109r a bit more. It had the cool/fun factor imo.
THIS BIKE HAS THE EXACT SAME
PERSONALITY AND SOUND AS THE
VTX1800...GETS IT DONE...I AGREE THAT IT IS NOT A NARROW STREET
COMMUTER...IT LIKES PLENTY OF
SPACE....IT'S A FIT FOR A OLD PROFESSIONAL...
I CAN TELL YOU ARE AN OLD PROFESSIONAL
WHAT? SPEAK UP! MY HEARING ISN'T WHAT IT USED TO BE.
How many miles wear on it???
I found one with 7,800 miles on it and they are asking 7,800.00 for it.
What price is it worth now in 2020???
I forget exactly how many miles this bike had, but I'm pretty sure it was around10-12k. It needed new tires. I paid around $4200 for it and sold it for around $4800-$5200 (it's been a while).
Thanks.
So basically $7,800 is probably to high of price for 2020?
Just bought a 2008 C109r for $4,200.00. It has 4,800 miles. I love the bike!
@@ForeverCello nice! That's a lot of bike for the money! Congrats on the new ride!
How did you do it jon
Lol. I was on the lookout for the c109r for years before finally getting a deal that made sense to flip. Hahaha. It's easier if you plan to keep it cause that way you can justify spending a little extra for the right bike.
How’s this compare to the warrior?
I actually happen to have a warrior in my garage at the moment (I sold the c109r a while back). The 109 packs a bigger punch for sure (more hp and torqure). However, I prefer the handling and overall ride of the warrior personally. The c109 would be a better option for the long rides.
Jon's Moto Garage thanks! I appreciate you always replying! So cool!
Why review a bike and comment on handling with low tire pressure?
I love you bro
Its putting out more like 100hp
Yeah, I think the initial article I read was incorrect. Thanks for the info!
Factory rating was 123 horsepower and 118 ft lbs of torque.
@@davidhughes7330 that's the m109r pal the c 109 is the slow big cruiser version, it's lucky to have 100hp to wheel, remember it's shaft driven. U lose a solid 15-20% hp off the top.
@@seanbutler2291 I am just going by the card that came with my C109R when I bought it new. I did a few mods to mine, and it made 112 horsepower and 125 lb ft of torque to the tire on a dyno. Redline in 5th gear, again on the dyno (no wind resistance), was just over 150mph. I have owned this bike 11 years, and still love it.
@@seanbutler2291 No you do not lol. Slow lmao you obviously have never ridden one the word slow does not apply here. This beast will rip your arms off plenty of torque. The M109 has maybe 10 more horsepower but the C109RT has 10 ft lbs of torgue.They tuned the motor for this one for low end grunt like a big V twin needs for a crusier type big the M version is for kids that like the high end top speed different applications and classes of bikes but not under powered and might surprise you.
To much for around town.🤣🤣🤣🤣 there is no such thing!!!
900 pounds buddy
You definitely got ripped off. I wouldn’t have paid more than 2.5k for that bike. I got my 2012 Yamaha v star 950 last year with 7600 miles. I payed $4150. A little less than market value & im sure I could have gotten it for a bit cheaper. Some people would rather take a loss & have money in hand than to keep it sitting there for months.One thing I learned was that if a seller really, really needs to get rid of their bike, they will take almost any offer.
Thanks for checking out the vid! I've owned a few of the V-Star 950's -- great bikes! Do you have the tourer model w/the bags, windshield, etc.? You're right, if a seller id desperate enough, they're usually more inclined to accept a lower offer. Tis the nature of the beast! Ride safe amigo!
Jon's Moto Garage it’s the regular version. The first owner of the bike added the windshield & backrest. I took everything off & dropped the rear 2 1/4 inches.
@@ericx7476 I bet it looks pretty slick lowered.
I feel like you're just making up a number to try to sound like you know what you're talking about. Well maintained cruisers, like this one (from the way it sounds), keep their value. Considering this was probably $15k brand new, the only person who got ripped off was the guy who sold it.
Its not overpriced, its double the size of ur 950 man, and usually the bigger bikes have nicer components
