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. | |||
