People would walk by my buddies Harley and look at the Red M109R and ask if that was a Harley. Both the B and the M109R always put a smile on your face but I could have never done 7200 miles in one summer on the nine. Now the B is its big brother and a lot longer winded than the nine. I can ride it all day and when the day is over I could still do a couple of hundred miles more. Love this machine. I liked the nine but have not missed it since I sold it.
