Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 2004, 2005
In 2005, Suzuki launched the Boulevard S83, a motorcycle that was formerly called the Intruder VS1400, introduced in 1987 and featured a 1,360cc V-Twin engine.
Even though the badge was changed, the bike retained the full rewarding feel, with its 1360cc air/oil-cooled V-Twin power plant, compact look, and retro chopper vibe.
With its natural riding position followed by a smooth suspension, the Boulevard S83 was also designed for a comfortable ride on both town and highway roads.
The bike featured a narrow double cradle frame that provided a slim chopper look with flat handlebars for a clean, sporty appearance and a sleek one-piece seat with a low seating position.
In addition, the model featured chrome-plated headlight housing, custom rear view mirrors, painted steel frame covers and fenders, bright multi-reflector turn signals designed for an attractive appearance and high visibility, and a teardrop fuel tank.
In the performance department, the 2005 Suzuki Boulevard S83 took its thrust from a 1,360cc V-Twin oil/air-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 72 hp at 4,800 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) of maximum torque at 3,200 rpm.
The model also featured a low-maintenance shaft drive, an interrupted headlight at the start of the engine for a reduced load on the battery, and a custom-looking chrome exhaust system that provided good looks and deep rumble noise.
