Overview
Suzuki Intruder C800 Limited Edition
The C800 provides a more traditional looking middle-weight cruiser, but because this is a Suzuki, youre getting modern technology and performance.
A liquid-cooled engine with proper V-twin looks powers this beast, while rear suspension is hidden away, meaning you have the classic looks of a hard-tail. In addition, ownership is easy with a low maintenance driveshaft.
In typically
cruiser style, the long wheelbase and hefty bulk hardly make for
light handling but the Suzuki VZ800 Intruder's capable and
relatively easy to ride. The lack of ground clearance hinders any
mad antics anyway. Softly-sprung suspension adds to the Suzuki
VZ800 Intruder's sofa on wheels effect. You have to work the
brakes hard to haul it all to a stop, though.
The Suzuki VZ800 Intruder's well-proven engines been propelling Suzuki cruisers for a while now and has a reputation for reliability. With electronic fuel injection, power delivery is smooth and the pipes let off a good, throaty burble. The Suzuki VZ800 Intruder has loads of torque and it pulls well throughout the rev range. Cruises happily at 80mph.
Overall, the Suzuki VZ800 Intruder's engines reliable, although a recall affected some models (both M800 and C800) when faulty ignition wiring threatened to cause engine failure. Make sure its been seen to. Build qualitys patchy: look after the chrome and avoid taking the Suzuki VZ800 Intruder out in winter, wherever possible.
Cruisers dont come cheap but the Suzuki VZ800 Intruder represents good value against the stalwart Harley clan. It rides well and looks the part. Rivals include Yamahas Drag Star 650 Classic, at roughly the same price but its down on power, or Kawasakis mammoth VN900 Classic, which, while vast, is pokey.
The Suzuki VZ800 Intruder gives a comfortable, luxurious ride: theres a soft seat, footboards and sensibly-placed bars so you can cruise in comfort over long distances. LED tail light and USD forks plus a simple, modern dash and loads of chrome add up to an agreeable cruiser experience. Shaft drive makes life on the Suzuki VZ800 Intruder easier (and cleaner).
