I'm a big guy, over 300 pounds, I've had my vs800 up to 100 mph with no problems getting there. Good handling bike, quiet, comfortable.

[mtb_landin]

Why should I watch this before buying one? I don't get it, there was no information that could make me say yes or no to a bike like that..

[LowkeyMav]

The way this guy drives is very smooth and makes me want this bike even more lol. I feel like if you drive with that precaution of slowing down a lot going into every turn, you're a lot better off.

I've had a 2005 S83 (VS1400) since 2007 and it is bullet proof. Have taken it all over the US and haven't had a problem. As long as the battery is charged and you have some good gas it'll fire up every time. Love the shaft drive because of the easy maintenance.

I own a 2001 800 Intruder and bought it new. It was always in need of choke to start and really needed it until it was warmed up. I actual had it in for service under warranty for the issue and they said the bike was in specs. I told myself when the warranty was done and/or before the pipes started changing color I would have it adjusted right. Well, that time cam years ago and I mad e a few adjustments. I installed Vance & Hines slip ons and took it down to have the carbs cleaned and adjusted. Had them install a stage 1 carb kit while the carbs were off and it runs so much better! It runs like it always should have ... but gets less gas mileage. Could be the fact that I drive it 80mph every time on the highway. It will do that all day long, it just doesn't like going over 115mph, but it gets up over 100mph quickly. These bikes are water-cooled and have "twin swirl combustion chambers" which gives them some good power and pull. I'm 6ft and 210lbs and the bike is a little small for me but I have always liked larger bikes. I have bought and sold several bikes over the past 20 years but i always keep this one because it is so well designed and it is fun to ride. I switch bikes with friends and everybody (especially the shorter friends) is impressed with the power, pull and comfort. We always seem to take the long way back when they are riding it :-)

Owned one, loved it! 100mph+ with no problem. Had drag bars on it, much more comfortable wrist position over stock bars.

[DisasterpieceTrav]

I own a 1994 VS1400 Intruder and that thing is a TORQUE MONSTER!!! Absolutely love it!!

[randy_md]

I bought a 2003 vs800 as my first bike 4 days ago! I'm 6'2" 250lbs and the bike is relatively comfortable and has lots of power. I'm in love

[edenwilliamson]

For anyone wondering. My husband is 6’6 and I’m 5’9. We both fit on her easily and comfortably. We ride this bike everywhere due to it being the more comfortable bike we own. We’re not speedy ones so getting up to 65 is easy enough on her. We think she’s a great beginner bike for anyone who is of larger frame

I just got 87 Suzuki Intruder 700 and let me tell you it's the fastest 700 I've ridden before.
So far I I'm happy with it. Im not a big guy and it has aftermarket foot rests on it and it's very fun to ride. I'm still not used to not having a gas light tho so you have to make sure you keep an eye on your gas.

I bought my new in '97 & still have it, still going strong. Loads of fun. Easy to work on, plenty of power for freeways, nimble for around town. At time I bought the Intruder, I considered a Harley 883. Glad I went with the Intruder. Was more bike for much less money. Zero repairs just maintenance, tires, batteries. I have the original ape hangers, highway bar/pegs, rear luggage mount. 100 miles on a tank of gas. Has nice sound without being obnoxious. Wished the battery loaded under the seat but not a big deal. Would maybe have prefer the star rim - spokes require a bit more attention to keep clean. I prefer the way my year sits lower due to lower fat rear tire, higher taller thinner front tire tank and handle bars higher, but some prefer 2000+ which has the wider front tire, sits a bit flatter/level (same height tires).

I bought an 86 intruder new, still got it, runs good, have had O problems with it, it's light easy to manuaver, Cruse at 70 plus all day, shaft radiator.dont ride it much anymore but it's hard to get rid of.mine is a 5 speed.

[lukemioorea]

I switched my cooling fan to always be on. I live in Vegas so it’s always hot. Bike ran amazing so far the 3 years and 40 k miles I put on it

[ShangoWorks]

Had one too. I am 6'2" and felt a little big on it. But I put saddlebags, ape hangers and a highway bar across the front and it felt a whole lot bigger. Lol I remember I actually used the the heel/achilles tendon area of my boot to shift up and the heel to shift down. The guys I rode with used to say I was kicking her when I shifted as I pulled up my knee. Always took it out on So Cal freeways no problem...but I did get blown around a bit on windy days. It was my first bike and I bought it on a whim when I tagged along with a buddy to pick up a part from the Suzuki dealer. Rode it home within an hour. Was comfortable with it in a day. I added the extras within a month. The only reason I parted with it was I got run down by a drunk driver as a pedestrian and was off work for several months. Disability didn't pay enough to make rent, car and motorcycle payment and insurances...so I sold it. I even rode 2 up on it alot no problem, you could feel 2up...but it did it. Great first bike that you can find for minimum chingo.

[charleswilson]

Love the look of these bikes. The rake, the gas tank, the shape, the color combos, all of it is just amazing

[freemarketjoe]

I have an 87 700cc Intruder, very reliable. The only complaint is what anyone riding a low rider gets...a sore rear end after an hour or so. My 90 Honda CBR 600 f2 was much more comfortable on long trips and that was a race bike. Your seating position on the Suzuki puts all the pressure on your tailbone because it forces you to drive hunched over, arms forward, instead of the more comfortable upright road bike position. If you buy one, be prepared for some minor back pain. I still have my intruder. I just use it for the short trip to work and back.

[JokerInk-CustomBuilds]

I have an '86 intruder i just love... only a 700, but it is a selfmade custom rat/chopper/bobber. Red ropes, bombshell carrierbox. extended pedals, custom seat and handlebars etc... It just goes on and on, it is perfectly loud enough for my taste.

[buckyball]

I have a '91 that my dad bought in '92. Since then my brother had it for a while, and its been with me for about 10 years. On top of the sentimental value, I love this thing. A little small, but nice and light and definitely more fun in the twisties than a cruiser has any right to be!

[yaprojectolayboy]

I just scored this exact same bike with 1 owner 9, 000 miles for $1300 with luggage rack and highway bars and I love it she quick nibble and light the stock seat is very comfy and she can do 80 to 90miles on the beltway effortlessly. this thang pulls like a freight train I'm 5'10 and 250soild. not bad riding 2up either

[Joshg]

these are great bikes if ran regularly and maintenance kept up to date. lots of people have gotten over 100, 000 miles on them with little to no problems. 9000 rpm redline by the way.
