2001 Suzuki VS800 Intruder

If you dig the Intruder style but feel like an 1500cc-class cruiser is out of your league, the 2001 VS800 Intruder may be a nifty alternative, as it retains the classic style and chopper looks, while offering a more tempered character from its 805cc v-twin. The 2001 MY has received new colors and graphics, but the authentic chopper style is just the same.

A skinny front wheel, laced rims, plush seats and a miniature passenger backrest, a blacked-out engine, chromed details and a manageable, non-intimidating engine will make the time you spend on two wheels all the more rewarding. Equally suitable for longer trips and urban/ sub-urban commuting, daily city slicing and all.

The 2001 MY VS800 Intruder is only a middleweight cruiser, but it packs solid big bore chopper looks which will please even the most demanding of riders. Compact, low but offering a comfy ride, this machine boasts wire spoked rims, achopped rear fender and a skinny front one, complemented by shorty shiny slash-cut dual exhausts and a nice, slammed teardrop tank with bar-mounted instrumentation.

The VS800 Intruder looks classic, but its 4-valve per cylinder v-twin is liquid-cooled and mated to a road worthy 5-speed transmission and minimal maintenance shaft final drive, while the passenger backrest adds both comfort and classic style.


2003 Suzuki VS800 Intruder

The 2003 MY VS800 Intruder looks very much like its 1400 sibling, but the trained eye will observe the badges and the small engine size. However, the VS800 Intruder retains a massive dose of styling cues from its bigger brother, with the classic chopper stance, laced wheels, pull-back bars and mini backrest for the passenger, plus the short exhaust and the black engine accents.

If you're in for a middleweight chopper with ageless looks but manufactured with modern technologies, this is definitely one of THE choices.
