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.



2002 Suzuki VS1400 Intruder

2002 Suzuki VS1400 Intruder

Classic down to the bone, the 2002 MY 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.

Th 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.


2003 Suzuki VS1400 Intruder

2003 Suzuki VS1400 Intruder 2003 Suzuki VS1400 Intruder

Slim, narrow, aggressive and oozing classic style, the 2003 MY VS1400 Intruder packs solid chopper looks from an age we though long gone. 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.

With 60 ho and 105 Nm of torque, the VS1400 Intruder is ready to take on the world, and adding a luggage system and a windscreen will also make it a much more pleasant ride for longer hauls.
