2016 Suzuki Boulevard M90Suzuki’s M series of cruisers is all about modern styling, giving them a sleek appearance as they work their way across town. The M90’s a mid-size answer to blinding acceleration, with a 1462cc engine that taps into GSX-R technology for serious performance, including the Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (fuel-injection) and Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (plating for the aluminum alloy cylinder).With large flywheels spinning in the cases, the M90 is a smooth ride, while Suzuki Clutch Assist System reduces clutch hand fatigue. To slow things down, there are twin 290mm discs up front. Bridgestone radials provide plenty of confidence.
Hello everyone and welcome once again to Motos and Friends, the weekly podcast brought to you by Ultimate Motorcycling. My name is Arthur Coldwells.
Motos and Friends is brought to you by Yamaha. You can check out the amazing YZF-R7 at your local Yamaha dealer, or of course at YamahaMotorsports.com. The YZF-R7 is an amazing supersport machine that is comfortable too!
In this week’s first segment, Editor Don Williams takes the smallest BMW ADV bike on an urban adventure in Los Angeles. The BMW G 310 GS is a full size motorcycle with a modest engine, so of course we wonder if it is a little too underpowered and might struggle. Don put it through its paces and gives us his take.
In the second segment, Neale Bayly and Kiran Ridley have returned from the Ukraine to Paris where Kiran is based.
Kiran is an award winning photojournalist, and as an accomplished documentarian, he has covered stories as diverse as drug smuggling around the Mexican border, to the devastation of the Australian Bush Fires, to the tragedy of the Mediterranean migration crisis. Neale and Kiran reminisce about their motorcycle adventure in the Ukraine, and their observations and experiences with the incredibly resilient people of Ukraine, who have been put through such brutal hardship.
