Well truly they have only been out since 2008, and especially up here it's pretty hard to gey high mileage on a bike. Although GrandpaTractor lives up here and has gotten 43K on his...... How about all you southerners who can ride all year long???? 
I thought the 109 came out in 2006?

Pretty much the same motor and tranny. Different flywheel in the C is set up for more torque and not as much HP.
Wheels are also different. C has 16" and the M has 18".
C has the rear brakes integrated with the front.

Yep and the C has smaller throttle bodies than the M and weighs some 100+lbs more (for wind stability I assume....LOL)

Wind in my hair and bugs in my teeth, must be in heaven. Just watch out for the wildlife or you'll be in hell.
