I just bought this bike in orange. I am a sports bike rider but now 40 years old with bad knees and a bad neck and back. I never wanted a cruiser because I love speed so I bought this bike because it looks sporty and I can still race people 😂 I didn’t want a old man cruiser. I am 6’2 and wanted a big bike to stretch out on.
You made the right choice. The m109r has more power and very reliable and cheaper parts and less to buy. I would own the m109r over Harley’s and other bikes 10 out of 10 times. All my friends have Harley’s and other cruisers and I beat their ass every single ride and my m109r didn’t cost close to half of their bikes. I go full throttle every single time and never had a problem yet friends with Harley’s keep breaking down doing the speed limit on brand new Harleys. I have a bad back and neck and knees and always rode sports bikes but could not ride them any more so I wanted a sorts looking cruiser with a lot of power and the m109r is the way to go.
Agreed !. Harley’s are nice , some of them . Specially latest models because they’re trying to attract younger riders . But they sell exclusivity not bikes
I’m glad I got your feedback !. My brother In law was probably not used to riding a motorcycle this big and was intimidated by it !. Ride age brother 🔥🙏🏻
@@popeyesmotovlog5440 Yea, i can see where it is intimidating. I came over from a Katana 600 sold it because cops in PA are not the greatest with bikes. I purchased this bike and have really grown to love it even though i was terrified of it at first!
Thank you so much for that feedback brother 🙏🏻🙏🏻!!.. yes after 3rd gear and higher speeds it ain’t that bad !. It’s definitely not a deal beaker ! Just something I had never noticed with any other bikes i have ridden before !!. Stay safe out there and Merry Christmas !
Great write up. Agree with everything you said! An ECU flash will get rid of the herky jerky feeling down low when you're going slow. I have quite a few mods done to mine. ECU tune by BCS really smoothed her out .
Thank you very much man !!.. yes someone had mentioned that earlier . I will be looking into it . I think my next mod it’s going to be a side mounted plate !. And then a bigger back tire !. Good luck out there brother 🔥🔥.
@@popeyesmotovlog5440 I have a swingarm mount plate on mine. Really cleans it up. I ran a 240 and then a 260 on stock wheel. upgraded to a 10" wheel and went a 280. Currently settimg up a 300 in the back with a 2 piece swingarm. Stay safe as well my friend!
Steve mcbutterpants oh damm that’s awesome ! I bet it looks mean man !.. soon my friend soon !..... thanks for the sub , COVID got in the way of me making videos , but I ll make some more soon as soon as I get better !. 🔥
Oh wow ! Didn’t know that was an option !. Thank you !! I will look into it!!. Had plans to make more videos but COVID had other plans lol. Thanks for the view !🙏🏻 be riding soon !
Awesome job with the review 😎👍 , I just bought a M109R. Now I’m waiting for spring time so I can try it! Still snow on the ground where I live 😞. Pretty excited to spend some time on it though when warm weather comes 🤗
Well explained video. I have the exact same bike. I love it and won’t sell it. I’ve had people asking me if I’m interested in selling it and the answer is always No. Enjoy your bike.
Thanks for a great vid! I’m actually about to buy a 2008 but I am a bit worried about that possible “second gear failure” where the 2nd just suddenly goes to N. Apparently expensive to fix because gears and engine are designed as they are in theses bikes. Any thoughts regarding that? As said, great video! Cheers/Heikki, Stockholm Sweden
Thank you so much for the feedback . If it’s a 2008 and it has a good ammout of miles , chances are that bike might have already had that issue and it’s been fixed . However I also heard it’s an inevitable issue with the M109R. Specially those older models . So it’s really all about taking the risk . Good luck to you and Ride safe my guy 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hows it going now brother?! Its crazy to see the St Pete sign. Thats my area! Thanks for this video. This my next bike from an R6. For all the reasons you mentioned is why i need one. Very great breakdown! Did you end up getting the MCU flashed?
Florida Brother 🙏🏻. Absolutely love the M109r ! I ended up not doing it because I realized that engine breaking might act as a safety feature !.. actually getting a Can Am within the next 2 weeks !. I’m still on the search for more comfort !: but the M109r it’s definitely my favorite.
@@manuelr3226 amen to that brother! I never thought of that consideration with ecu flashing. Good to know. I hope you keep stayin safe out there! Is the can-am a trike? Looking forward to more videos.
I liked n like this video. U explained it well n got me excited about getting one. Do you think the chrome looks better than the matte black (B O S S) edition? Blue is the exact color I'm going for. 2017 or maybe 2019 one
Thank you very much for that feedback !. Honestly yes I think Matte Black looks better . I am not huge into Chrome but I love how this blue one looks with Chrome. If you get this exact blue then yes you will love it !. But other than that I would say Go with Matte black . It gives it that mean, stealth look !!. You ll love it !.
I'm considering one myself but I can't imagine it to be fun when the weather is bad. Apart from that, you'd have to be very well protected/dressed to be on it in adverse conditions.
@@popeyesmotovlog5440 I ride all year round myself, come rain, come shine, come snow.........this seems like a vehicle that would be problematic in European winters. However I am buying one either way.
Thanks man . Yeah financing one isn’t worth it to me because to me this is a hobby and I don’t feel like paying twice the amount it’s worth just because of dealerships fees and finance charges

Awesome review. I own a 08 sunset orange m109r. I absolutely love mine and I came from a busa. Engine braking is not bad above 3rd gear.
Thank you so much for that feedback brother 🙏🏻🙏🏻!!.. yes after 3rd gear and higher speeds it ain’t that bad !. It’s definitely not a deal beaker ! Just something I had never noticed with any other bikes i have ridden before !!. Stay safe out there and Merry Christmas !
@@popeyesmotovlog5440 when you get it flashed it is greatly reduced.
I have the same one, the sunset orange.
I have the 2008 sunset orange also.
I also have the 08 sunset orange and love it.

Gotta love Florida !.. nice to see other fellow local M109 riders !!! 🔥🔥

M109R is my first bike.I think if you get the ecu flashed it takes care of some of the engine braking.

@@popeyesmotovlog5440 Yes Sir look up BCS on FaceBook they are supposed to be very good at flashing them or you can look them up online.

Lol hence why I had such a hard time finding one !!!.. never getting rid of mine either ! Thank you very much !! Ride safe 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I have one too bought new in 2007. Will never sell it
Great video! I found a 2006 m109r with only 7k miles on it that I plan to buy. Already has the cobra swept pipes on it too! Ride safe,
Oh wow bro ! Jump on it !!! Mine has a lot more than that and I went for it!!. That’s incredibly low mileage !!. Congrats 🔥🔥🔥 And ride safe !

Upgrade the shift star and don’t drive it like a sport bike I’ve never had issues with my 07
Great Video man ! Thanks ! I’m actually contemplating to switch from sports to a cruiser !. Thank you !
Oh yeah bro ! I recommend you give the M109R a ride test ! And you will understand what I’m talking about !
We have the same model and color. Nice ride bro
Thank you my brother 🙏🏻🙏🏻!. Keep riding 🔥
Great and honest video!

Yeah, weather it's a factor. I live in Florida so the weather here is manageable all year long .
