2000 Suzuki INTRUDER 800

Pros: Economy, handling, mid-sized power
Cons: Fuel capacity, seat comfort

I bought my 2000 VS-800 in October 2003 when it had 1954 miles on it, and I have not been sorry. My previous riding experience was minimal and many years ago, so I was determined to buy a mid-sized bike to get some experience under my butt before ...

Pros: great looks, stable smooth ride, high quality manufacture and generally very well engineered
Cons: no storage, poor helmet lock, servicing difficulties, unreliable fork-lock, for smaller riders not behemoths

OK I am smaller than most of my biker cohorts (5'6"/160lbs) and this has made buying the right bike difficult. I am sick of feeling I am on the wrong horse. That is one of the reasons why I have been ecstatic since getting my '87 Intruder. This is a ...

Pros: Smooth ride, agile, quick, inexpensive initial cost, dependable.
Cons: Gas tank is small.

This review is being written after just 300 miles on my new Suzuki Intruder 800. This review is truly an initial impression of the bike.

Before I purchased my 2001 Intruder I pored over all sources of information available, including Epinion...

Pros: Dependable, affordable, original styling.
Cons: Small gas tank, too light for big folks.

My wife has a 2003 Suzuki Intruder. It's basically the same bike as the 2000, so I've included the review here. We've put over 3,500 miles on this bike in the last year and have found it to be reliable and enjoyable to ride. The seat is comfortable, ...

Pros: Extremely quick, light, great looking
Cons: feels loose in the corners at first.

As I am typing this I am looking across at my 87' Suzuki Intruder and wishing it wasn't 40 degrees and sleeting. OK I have ridden in 40 degree temp's before but slush and freezing rain and quick bikes shouldn't mix. Speaking of mixing, I will now share...

Pros: Power, Engineering, Chrome
Cons: Peg Placement, Some call it 'dated'

The VS800 Suzuki Intruder is a great all around bike. It has plenty of power. I have ridden many types of bikes over the years and this little (if you want to call this bike little – I wouldn’t) 800 pulls harder than most 1100 cc or larger bikes....

Pros: Hot-rod power, gorgeous looks, good handling, very reliable
Cons: Small tank

Having owned more sporty bikes in the past, when I went shopping for a cruiser for daily use I didn’t want something big, heavy, and with the elephant-like handling of most cruisers. Instead I wanted something with cruiser styling but real power, light...

Pros: Comfortable for smaller people (under 6 feet, under 160 lbs.)
Cons: Small gas tank.

This is my second Intruder 800. I've owned a 1994 and 1995. Both in the black with blue metal-flake paint scheme. I think Suzuki has made two minor styling mistakes with the later models. First, you can't go wrong with basic black. To my knowledge,...

Pros: Nice looks Shaft Drive Overall reliable
Cons: Three speedometer cables in 55,000 miles Clutch starts to slip after 15,000 High speed wobble

This is my fourth Suzuki. I've been pleased by the shaft drive (the other three were chain drives), but the handling and reliability have been lacking. And, when I've needed to get replacement parts from Suzuki, the wait has often been interminable. At ...

Pros: Great looks, more power than a cruiser needs to have
Cons: Seat, small gas tank

I bought my bike used, in 2004, and it is a 2001. The bike only had 1,700 miles on it. Super bike. It has torque to burn. Speed limit is somewhere in excess of any sensible riding, I needed 85 once, and it got there from 60, in less than the length ...

Pros: Quick, slick ride. Nice acceleration, decent aftermarket upgrades.
Cons: Small tank, a bit of a production for some routine maintenance.

I really like this bike. I bought it used with some aftermarket pipes, and they give it a nice rumble. One up riding is what the bike is made for, but it still handles quite well with my rather tiny wife on the back.

I'm 5' 7" (but still...

Pros: Great Looking, Easy to Ride
Cons: Small Fuel Tank, Hates the Cold

After not having driven for 20 years I decided to get back into the saddle again. Armed with some advise on buying a used bike that I acquired from the internet I set out on my mission. The first bike I saw was a 1996 Teal Suzuki Intruder 800. I fell in...

Pros: Slick Look Lots of Power Easy to Handle
Cons: Squeaking Brakes Small Gas Tank

I have had my Intruder for a couple months now and am loving every minute of it. I replaced the sto ...

Pros: Excellent Styling, Great Reliability, Light Weight & Lots Of Power, Low Price
Cons: 3.2 Gal Tank Gives Limited Cruising Range, Feels "Squirrelly" In Corners At First

I've had my 98 Intruder 800 for a year now, and would not trade it for anything else I have seen on the market today, save for a 2002 Intruder. Being Only 5'8" and 135 lbs, seat height and a light weight were both factors that I had to consider in my...

Pros: Great looks, quick throttle response
Cons: narrow front tire

I bought my intruder 800 new, last year, and without even test-riding it. I really liked the looks, and after I rode it was even more pleased with it's performance and smooth ride. It has great pick-up, even in fifth gear. I am not really tall so it's...
