The '''[[Suzuki]] VS800 Intruder''' was a four-stroke, liquid cooled, 45 degree V-twin, SOHC, 8-valves, TSCC Cruiser [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Suzuki]] between 1992 and 2003. It could reach a top speed of 99 mph (160 km/h). Max [[torque]] was 45.73 ft/lbs (62.0 Nm) @ 4000 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 50.02 HP (37.3 KW) @ 6500 RPM. 
 
==History==
The VS750 Intruder ended its career in 1991, when it was replaced by the [[Suzuki VS800|VS800]], a more powerful cruiser.
 
The Suzuki VS800 was called the Suzuki Intruder 800 until 2006.  The Intruder 800 was the iterative replacement to the [[Suzuki VS700]] and [[Suzuki VS750]] called the '''Intruder 700''' and '''Intruder 750''' respectively. The 800 was the smaller [[motorcycle]] in the [[:Category:Suzuki Intruder series|Suzuki Intruder lineup]]
 
The VS800 Intruder is a classic chopper in the middleweight range, packing 805cc of liquid-cooled v-twin nerve and being a nifty choice for newer riders who are not fully-confident in their skills, or for those who are simply looking for an economical and fun cruiser for daily rides.
 
The VS800 Intruder has a skinny [[chopper]] style front wheel, with a tall, comfy passenger seat and backrest, an angled teardrop tank and pull-back bars for an ageless attire. The transmission has 5 speeds, and the final drive is achieved via a [[shaft drive]] which provides great reliability with little maintenance.
 
==Engine==
The engine was a [[liquid cooled]] four-stroke, liquid cooled, 45 degree V-twin, SOHC, 8-valves, TSCC. A 83.8mm [[bore]] x 83.8mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 805.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a single overhead cams (sohc). 
 
==Drive==
The bike has a 5 speed, manual transmission. Power was moderated via the Wet multi-disc, manual. 
 
==Chassis==
It came with a 100/90-19 57H front [[tire]] and a 140/90-15 M/C 70H rear tire. Stopping was achieved via Single hydraulic disc in the front and a Drum in the rear. The front suspension was a  Telescopic, coil spring, oil damped while the rear was equipped with a Swingarm, oil damped, 5-way adjustable spring preload. The VS800 Intruder was fitted with a 3.17 Gallon (12.00 Liters) fuel tank. The bike weighed just 443.13 pounds (201.0 Kg). The wheelbase was 61.42 inches (1560 mm) long.

If you dig the Intruder style but feel like an 1500cc-class cruiser is out of your league, the 2001 VS800 Intruder may be a nifty alternative, as it retains the classic style and chopper looks, while offering a more tempered character from its 805cc v-twin. The 2001 MY has received new colors and graphics, but the authentic chopper style is just the same.
A skinny front wheel, laced rims, plush seats and a miniature passenger backrest, a blacked-out engine, chromed details and a manageable, non-intimidating engine will make the time you spend on two wheels all the more rewarding. Equally suitable for longer trips and urban/ sub-urban commuting, daily city slicing and all.
==2002 Suzuki VS800 Intruder==
[[File:suzuki-vs800-2002-2002-1.jpg|600px|2002 Suzuki VS800 Intruder]]
[[File:suzuki-vs800-2002-2002-0.jpg|600px|2002 Suzuki VS800 Intruder]]
The 2001 MY VS800 Intruder is only a middleweight cruiser, but it packs solid big bore chopper looks which will please even the most demanding of riders. Compact, low but offering a comfy ride, this machine boasts wire spoked rims, achopped rear fender and a skinny front one, complemented by shorty shiny slash-cut dual exhausts and a nice, slammed teardrop tank with bar-mounted instrumentation.
The VS800 Intruder looks classic, but its 4-valve per cylinder v-twin is liquid-cooled and mated to a road worthy 5-speed transmission and minimal maintenance shaft final drive, while the passenger backrest adds both comfort and classic style.
==2003 Suzuki VS800 Intruder==
[[File:suzuki-vs800-2003-2003-1.jpg|600px|2003 Suzuki VS800 Intruder]]
[[File:suzuki-vs800-2003-2003-0.jpg|600px|2003 Suzuki VS800 Intruder]]
The 2003 MY VS800 Intruder looks very much like its 1400 sibling, but the trained eye will observe the badges and the small engine size. However, the VS800 Intruder retains a massive dose of styling cues from its bigger brother, with the classic chopper stance, laced wheels, pull-back bars and mini backrest for the passenger, plus the short exhaust and the black engine accents.
If you're in for a middleweight chopper with ageless looks but manufactured with modern technologies, this is definitely one of THE choices.
