SUZUKI VS 750 Intruder photo gallery

The Suzuki Intruder was a series of cruiser motorcycles made by the Japanese manufacturer from 1985 to 2004 and started their life in North America with the Intruder 700 and Intruder 1400 models.

The Intruder 700 was designed small enough to bypass the U.S. import taxes on imported bikes, while the intruder 1400 was built to compete with the Harley 1,340cc Evolution models and Japanese bikes such as the Kawasaki Vulcan 1500.

The Suzuki VS 750 Intruder started as a 700cc bike, but when the U.S. taxes passed into law, the limit was set at 750cc instead of 700cc, so Suzuki bumped the Intruder to a 750cc displacement and continued its production until 1991.

The 1985 Suzuki VS 750 Intruder featured a raked-out set-up angle with pulled-back handlebars and a two-piece seat with a small passenger backrest and a rear suspension that consisted of two spring-loaded shock absorbers mounted on each side of the bike.

Also, the bike featured a lot of chromed elements, such as the handlebar with the rearview mirrors, the engine and exhaust system, the headlight, the speedometer, and turn signal housings.

In the performance department, the bike took its thrust from a 747cc four-stroke V-Twin liquid-cooled engine fueled by a couple of Mikuni CV carburetors and delivered an output power of 63 hp at 7,000 rpm and 69 Nm (51 lb-ft) of torque at 6,000 rpm. Combined with a five-speed manual transmission and a dry weight of 186 (410 lbs), the Intruder reached a top speed of 176 kph (109 mph).
