The '''[[Suzuki]] VS1400 Intruder''' was a four-stroke, air/oil cooled, 45 degree V-twin, SOHC, 6-valves Cruiser [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Suzuki]] between 1987 and 2003. It could reach a top speed of 106 mph (170 km/h). Max [[torque]] was 76.71 ft/lbs (104.0 Nm) @ 2800 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 59.94 HP (44.7 KW) @ 5000 RPM. 
==Overview==
The classic air/oil-cooled 1360cc v-twin packs plenty of punch to make the VS1400 Intruder fun to ride, solo and two-up, while the shaft final drive eliminates much of the overall maintenance fuss. Compact, yet offering a comfy ride, this is a chopper worth considering when it's time to go for a new bike.
Classic down to the bone, the VS1400 Intruder is a lower-big-bore chopper with tons of character, wire spoked wheels,a  slash-but shorty silencer, a teardrop tank neatly complementing the raked-out front and yoke-mounted instruments. Neatly padded seats for both rider and passenger, a miniature backrest for the latter, a teardrop tank, raked-out forks, skinny front wheel with laced rims and a shorty exhaust are all on the list to stress out its retro heritage.
==History==
For most of its production lifetime the Suzuki Intruder 1400 was the largest model in the Intruder lineup.  It was a very smooth V-twin with nice power, but didn't quite have the same [[Harley-Davidson|Harley]] emulating sound of the [[Honda VT1100C2|Honda Shadow ACE]] or [[Kawasaki Vulcan 1500]]
Introduced in 1987, the VS 1400 Intruder has suffered only a few changes over the years. The original model had a 4 speed gearbox but in 1992, the 5 speed model was introduced to Europe.
==Engine==
The engine was a oil & [[air cooled]] four-stroke, air/oil cooled, 45 degree V-twin, SOHC, 6-valves. A 94.0mm [[bore]] x 94.0mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 1360.0 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 110/90-19 62H front [[tire]] and a 170/80-15 M/C 77H rear tire. Stopping was achieved via Single disc in the front and a Single disc in the rear. The front suspension was a  Telescopic fork, coil spring, oil damped while the rear was equipped with a Twin shocks, oil damped, 5-way adjustable spring preload. The VS1400 Intruder was fitted with a 3.43 Gallon (13.00 Liters) fuel tank. The bike weighed just 535.72 pounds (243.0 Kg). The wheelbase was 63.5 inches (1613 mm) long. 


The '''Suzuki VS1400''' is a [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Suzuki]] from 1987 to 2007 more commonly known as the '''Suzuki 1400 Intruder'''.

==2005 Suzuki Boulevard S83==
[[File:suzuki-boulevard-s83-2005-2005-0.jpg|600px|2005 Suzuki Boulevard S83]]
The old Intruder 1400 has become the Boulevard S83 and the 2005 model year marks the debut of this machine. Even though the badge has changed, the bike retained the full rewarding feel, with is 1360cc air and oil-cooled v-twin, compact looks and retro chopper vibe.
The instruments are bar-mounted, above the small headlight overlooking the skinny front fender and wheel, while the shorty exhaust system adds to the overall compact attire of the Boulevard S83. This is a great choice if you're looking forward to buy a brawny chopper with classy mean looks.
==2006 Suzuki Boulevard S83==
[[File:suzuki-boulevard-s83-2006-2006-1.jpg|600px|2006 Suzuki Boulevard S83]]
[[File:suzuki-boulevard-s83-2006-2006-0.jpg|600px|2006 Suzuki Boulevard S83]]
A bigger version of the Boulevard S50, the S83 provides more displacement for a power and torque supplement, making this bike an even more attractive option for the experienced riders. Still not a big-bore beast, the Boulevard S83 is a clean cruiser with slightly retro looks, fluid lines and a classic air-cooled engine.
The Boulevard S83 is a better choice for those who like the old-school attire of the smaller Boulevard bikes. but are not willing to settle for an under-liter machine. With the extra grunt the 1,360cc v-twin packs, these fellows can now throttle ahead onto the open highway.
==2007 Suzuki Boulevard S83==

[[File:suzuki-boulevard-s83-2007-2007-0.jpg|600px|2007 Suzuki Boulevard S83]]
The 2007 MY Boulevard S83 carries on the heritage of the family and offers an upper-middleweight air and  oil-cooled riding experience powered by the classic 45-degree 1360cc v-twin. Drawing inspiration from the choppers of old and introducing some cruiser DNA into the mix, the Boulevard S83 shows off a skinny front wheel and fender, complemented by a bobbed rear mudguard covering a beefy tire.
Short silencers complement drag bars, and slender fork legs, while the moderately-sized headlight is mated to a minimalist single gauge on top of it.
==2008 Suzuki Boulevard S83==

If classic-look cruisers are not your thing and you're looking for a more radical bike, take a closer look at the 2008 MY Boulevard S83. You'll most likely smile and want to ride it, as this machine embeds several timeless attributes which have written many a page in the motorcycle history books. Compact, low, with an aggressive drag bar on tall risers, a single gauge hovering above a moderate-size headlight, slender profile and plenty of power to spare, the Boulevard S83 is ready to turn heads wherever it will show up.
The 1360cc v-twin engine is air- and oil-cooled, and this makes the bike lighter and nimbler. The Boulevard S83 also sports a classic tire combo, with a beefy rear one and a skinny front wheel and a shorty fender for even more classic looks, plus a slash-but exhaust.
==2009 Suzuki Boulevard S83==
[[File:suzuki-boulevard-s83-2009-2009-1.jpg|600px|2009 Suzuki Boulevard S83]]
[[File:suzuki-boulevard-s83-2009-2009-0.jpg|600px|2009 Suzuki Boulevard S83]]
The 2009 MY Boulevard S83 is a chopper which sits between the middleweight and the big-bore classes in Suzuki's roster. Packing an 1360cc displacement, this air and oil-cooled machine exudes certain design elements which hark back to the '70s. A svelte profile with tall forks, a skinny front wheel with a skimpy fender, a fat rear tire and shorty exhausts, plus tall bar risers, they are all honoring the past.
The two-up seat is a single-piece like you'd expect from a retro machine, and the 60-spoke rims are emphasizing this character. A full-on machine with no compromises, the Boulevard S83 is waiting for you to pick the next destination.
