Yeah I saw your video when I was just curious about buying a m109r. Now that I purchased and came across your video a second time, you make much more sense. I did purchase a m109r 2017 with 20k miles from a dealer in AZ. The lack of historical information was a concern but I found a registration under the seat from a prior Calif owner and tracked them down. Since it was a phone call, I can only assume what he told me with a grain of salt. I give him the trust and being a done deal he has no reason not to stay truthful. My bike was all stock as Id rather not buy a modded preowned bike so in your case, your advice really matters. I still have meat on my tires but Imma about to cross the 5 year mark. Your now talking about your filters as I type and you need a sock over them to keep the rain out. Good video.

I bought a brand new at the time m109r. First modifications I did was the freedom exhaust and force winder air filters. What I did was get a tune after so that bike runs most efficiently with the new parts. Maybe that's what your bike needs. Cheers!!

Thanks for the insights, been researching the various clutch related issues of this model.

I fuck with this bike all day long. M109R for life. Especially the 2020+ year versions. Such a great bike.

Like your realistic video, thanks. I own the Boss 2018 stock model. Nice garage!

Nice Garage and a sweet Bike. thanks for the information. I’m looking to get one, I might start with a less power cruiser to start. but I want the m109r I love the look. and eventually the power. I’m a fat dude and i like sport bikes but To me i look like a bear on a scooter. i’ll be watching your garage video next. 👍🏽

You brought up good points. Cheers

I have an 06 with almost 100k. Haven't rode much over the last couple years. The best advice I can give is to join the m109 forum. Years of knowledge can be found there. You can probably buy some socks for the intakes and rain. The second gear is an issue but I have found when shifting you have to "shift it like you mean it" from 1st to 2nd. No lazy shift from 1st to 2nd. Some say you can change the shift star to help. I've only had a few times where it didn't shift correctly. If you change the intakes and exhaust you have to get a fuel tuner or have the ecu flashed. The servo buddy lessens the engine braking a lot. Stock is like riding a bucking bronco. Really hard to ride smooth stock. If your bike is running ok it probably has a tuner under the seat or the ecu has been flashed already. If you changed the clutch yourself then swapping out the bones shouldn't be that big of a deal. Somone on the forum would probably give the stock ones to you for free. Mine is also lowered 2" and it doesn't bother me.

Thanks for the video Rich! Im going to look at an m109r tomorrow myself :). I have a small motorcycle youtube channel as well, where I do reviews of the bikes I buy and sell. Appreciate your content, ill be sure to check out more of your videos :).

Good information Rich goes for any used motorcycle😊 when I bought the SS Goldwing I just wanted a Motorcycle and really didn’t know what to look for or at😂 luckily, I think I did OK always good to be learning in every aspect😊🏍️

Bought mine new in 2008 & love it, if your a shy person you might not like the attention these bikes create. 1👍

nice man. good luck fulfilling your dream. Its a good one.

Sr thanks 🙏 for sharing this with us

Dig the garage, the m109r, and the crocs 👍

Look I had a bike with a 160 wide tyre which already felt perfect for the bike. I can imagine a 240 sounds just about perfect for such big boney, but a 260 definitely sounds a bit much I agree. And lowering a bike like this? I don’t get it. Great content, sir. Very informative. I’ve never ever ever EVER looked at a boulevard, nor have I ever thought I’d even consider it. Not once. I always thought it’s just too much or too insane or maybe it was my “if it ain’t a Harley” tripe but this past year I’ve very quickly gotten into the idea of these amazing Japanese cruisers.

Thank you, I am a125 lbs return rider. I love this bike, still love it. Got to get a test ride.

Totally agree with you. Getting any bike from a dealer can be a bit of a challenge/risky. The 109R is a cheap bike even new. Fair price for a lot of bike.

Like the video, if and when i decide to buy a used Motorcycle my first question is can i see the Title, another bike that had that issue with the gear clutch was Victory v92 where the gear would wear and skip on second gear.

Rich thank you. I’m researching now to get a used M109R. Looking at both private sellers and dealers. Lots of private sellers have title liens and not sure I want to deal with that. My main question is on what you touched upon with the second gear issue. You mentioned post 2010 models have not really had the issue but I’ve read on some online websites that it was never fixed. Big concern. I will have to take my time looking.

Very nice bike The front end is incredible USD forks, radial brake calipers, win,win

Thanks man..i am found of that beast..but honestly i have heard about 2gear and clutch.. Nnnaah..im buying gl 1500 ... Ur honest and i thank you 😊

Thanks buddy, nice review and advice. Ride safe!

Have the VK2. Didn't test at speed one owner bike. 2nd gear clatter unless doubling the clutch / the good oil is clear. Be careful

Manufacturers spend a lot of time and money on R&D. Sometimes, just leaving them stock is not a terrible idea?😊

It's heavy but balanced

Kelly Blue book has the goldwing 2022 for 23, 400 in good condition. I saw a new one for $22,888. What do you suggest I offer?

Been debating if i should trade in my kawasaki vulcan 900 custom for an m109. The size of the m109 is intimidating and I'm only 5'6.

should have been a factory recall

I want to buy one with 500 miles, but l saw another video that they have problems with the transmission

Bikes are like Barbie Dolls for men. A crap ton of accessories.

I would ride an M109R before I would ride a harley davidson that everybody else has. I have a C109r that will blow the paint off Harleys and it's 16 years old. Come get some.

Which engine is more durable suzuki or honda?

Fault Indicator is the red light.

Send your ecu to Moore mafia and have it flashed. It’ll unleash the full potential of the bike and enjoy the new sweet ride.

Cheap bike? 33 thousand miles never a problem in 16 years and still runs like hell.

Bestes bike ever 💪😉✌️

This video took forever

He also has another video saying the M109R is the best motorcycle he ever owned haha. But ya 2006-2010 2nd gear issue sucks. They fixed the issue in 2011

Bikes wearing a windscreen like a bandana

Can anyone say motorcycle 😂

Unreal you didn't start the bike so we can hear the exhaust!
