made a stop at the Suzuki dealer the owner came up to me and asked what now. I bought a 2007 m109r. 2005 busa and 2008 zx14 from him in the past.
He showed me a couple of new 109s, I thought they still look great just like in the past. I asked about problems with them, if there are less now than in the past. He said to tell the truth the 109 is still the bike that comes back most often to the shop. leaks, high idle speeds, fuel gauge..ect. I ask about any 2nd gear issues he said they have seen a few and Suzuki did cover the cost to repair in about half the cases. Too bad I was wishing they had most the problems figured out by now. For those reasons I just could not pull the trigger on a new one. Looks like I may go the Busa route again or wait until a used 2009 m109r shows up at a killer deal. Not that it would matter I don't keep one for long anyway
