2008 Suzuki C109R

Classic, in the case of Suzuki's new C109R power cruiser, should not be confused with understated. Its liquid-cooled, fuel-injected motor flexes just as much muscle as its sporty big brother, the M109R. It just does it with a reshaped intake cam and a smaller throttle body, which gave it enough grunt on takeoff that I swear I experienced G forces. -- Susan Carpenter
