| Rider review:
| |
|
| |
| THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OUR CRUISER AND THEIRS IS AS
| |
| PLAIN AS BLACK AND WHITE.
| |
| They could see it as soon as I rode my new Suzuki Intruder into town. No other
| |
| cruiser looks as custom. No other V-twin sounds this mean.
| |
|
| |
| No other streetbike had ever grabbed their attention like my Intruder. Chrome on
| |
| chrome on chrome. From its headlight right down to its 60-spokc wheels, Intruder
| |
| is mean, clean and classic.
| |
|
| |
| And underneath Intruders heart-thumping good looks Suzuki packed the leanest 45°
| |
| V-twin on the road.
| |
|
| |
| That's what grabbed my soul.
| |
| 'Cause when I'm riding my Intruder
| |
| I become an Intruder. It's
| |
| like we were made for each other.
| |
| Like we're one single moving part. Man, the difference between my
| |
| Intruder and every other bike on
| |
| the street is as plain as black
| |
| and white.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Another rider review:
| |
|
| |
| I came across this, when looking
| |
| for a used bike to get back into riding. I purchased it from its
| |
| original lady owner. Maroon, pullback handlebars & one of the rare
| |
| things - the snowflake cast alloy wheels. Since the used bike market
| |
| was tight, I settled on this one & took the gamble on buying it on
| |
| first impression & a test ride. 2 years & 10,000 miles later, it's a
| |
| decision I don't regret.
| |
|
| |
| V-twin engine has plenty of get up & go, very good low end take-off.
| |
| It is cold blooded though. I do allow it to warm up before taking
| |
| off, otherwise it's sluggish.
| |
|
| |
| Nice handling & riding, Shaft drive is smooth.
| |
|
| |
| I got rid of the factory seat, & put a Mustang Regal Duke on it.
| |
| Mustang stated it would not fit my year, but if you have the model
| |
| with the slightly higher factory back rest, (Mine, has the small
| |
| luggage rack on it - maybe is why) it is a direct bolt-on. The only
| |
| thing I had to alter, was to secure the back rest of this one piece
| |
| seat to the toolbox front where it locks with heavy adhesive backed
| |
| Velcro. I cut out around the toolbox lock cylinder, & also cut off
| |
| the plastic pins of the toolbox front that the grommets of the
| |
| original back rest would secure to. I bought an extra toolbox front,
| |
| should I ever put the stock seat back on should I sell this bike, as
| |
| my intention is to someday, upgrade to an 800 model, which this seat
| |
| also will fit.
| |
|
| |
| Having an exhaust with a pipe on each side, unlike some of the bikes
| |
| equipped with stacked pipes on one side, allows for a nice pair of
| |
| mid-sized saddlebags with no worry of getting burned from hot pipes
| |
| - plenty of clearance. One thing I did do on this model, was find a
| |
| plastic cap to put over the rear axle nut & wrap tape over it to
| |
| secure, to prevent the exposed axle nut from rubbing through the
| |
| saddlebag the side it's on.
| |
|
| |
| Pretty easy to maintain - changing engine oil, rear gear oil. I'll
| |
| find out about changing coolant, as I plan on replacing the hoses
| |
| this year, also with changing the clutch & front brake fluids. Front
| |
| & rear wheels are easily removed & installed. This is another bike
| |
| that does not have a center stand - a motorcycle jack is a big help
| |
| & a wise investment.
| |
|
| |
| Personal dislikes - there are not too many:
| |
| Bike feels bulky when pushing backwards - weight is not well
| |
| distributed. My wife bought a 2008 Yamaha 650 V-Star Classic, & even
| |
| though 100 lbs. heavier, it does not feel heavier.
| |
|
| |
| No tach - I have found aftermarket ones available for it, & they are
| |
| reasonably priced.
| |
|
| |
| Having to remove the radiator cover to check the coolant level.
| |
|
| |
| 5 Speed gearbox - 6th gear overdrive would have been nice to have
| |
| had, like some of the others in its class. I'm usually in 5th gear
| |
| between 35-40 mph. I'm pretty good at counting gears, but there are
| |
| still times I think I'm in 4th, not 5th & I find myself searching to
| |
| see if I have one left.
