The Suzuki Boulevard C109R motorcycle was introduced in 2008 as a "classic cruiser" version of Suzuki's Boulevard M109R which had been released two years previously. In Europe the C109R is sold as the Suzuki Intruder C1800R and often referred to by its model number, VLR1800.

The Boulevard C109R and M109R are both "powered by essentially identical engines", a , four-valve DOHC, 54-degree, liquid-cooled, fuel injected V-twin, but the C109R was detuned with a smaller throttle body (52mm instead of 56mm) and shorter valve duration to produce and of torque instead of the M109R's , . There are other differences between the two bikes - the C109R is longer, wider, its wheelbase is longer and it is heavier

The engine bores are lined with Suzuki's SCEM (Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material) to aid heat transfer, improve piston-to-cylinder clearances and reduce weight. The engine has electronic fuel injection system dual spark plugs. The transmission is five speed.
