SUZUKI Boulevard S83 (2007-2008) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Boulevard S83 was a 1,360cc V-Twin motorcycle manufactured by Suzuki in 2005, and before that, it was called Intruder VS1400 from 1987 to 2004.

In 2008, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer introduced the S83, a motorcycle that embedded several timeless attributes which had written many pages in the motorcycle history books. With a compact, low stance and an aggressive drag bar fitted on tall risers, the Boulevard S83 was a real head-turner.

The S83 motorcycle delivered a great amount of torque with crisp acceleration and offered a natural riding position with smooth suspension.

The bike rolled on 60-spoke wheels with chrome-plated rims that provided a classic cruiser look, fitted with two 295 mm discs with two-piston calipers on the front and a 275 mm disc with a one-piston caliper on the rear that acted as braking performance.

As for a more classic style, the model came with a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a chromed plated headlight, custom rearview mirrors, a flat handlebar, a sleek one-piece saddle, and a tool kit mounted in the engine department that simulated an air filter.

In the power department, the 2008 Suzuki Boulevard S83 took its thrust from a 1,360cc V-Twin air/oil-cooled engine designed for a smooth operation without a counterbalancer, which delivered an output power of 72 hp with a peak at 4,800 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) of torque at 3,200 rpm.

The power produced by the engine was transferred to the rear wheel through a five-speed manual transmission and a low-maintenance shaft drive.
