The original model had a 4 speed gearbox but in 1992, the 5 speed model was introduced to Europe. Introduced in 1987, the VS 1400 Intruder has suffered only a few changes over the years. It was a very smooth V-twin with nice power, but didn't quite have the same Harley emulating sound of the Honda Shadow ACE or Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Neatly padded seats for both rider and passenger, a miniature backrest for the latter, a teardrop tank, raked-out forks, skinny front wheel with laced rims and a shorty exhaust are all on the list to stress out its retro heritage.įor most of its production lifetime the Suzuki Intruder 1400 was the largest model in the Intruder lineup. Compact, yet offering a comfy ride, this is a chopper worth considering when it's time to go for a new bike.Ĭlassic down to the bone, the VS1400 Intruder is a lower-big-bore chopper with tons of character, wire spoked wheels,a slash-but shorty silencer, a teardrop tank neatly complementing the raked-out front and yoke-mounted instruments.

Looking at it in person may be quite different, but that is for you and your experience level to figure out.Four-stroke, air/oil cooled, 45 degree V-twin, SOHC, 6-valvesįront: Telescopic fork, coil spring, oil damped Now, one thing is if it only overheats at stoplights that points to the fan and not thermostat which combined with the statements on electrical issues might be a possibility but regardless of the cause, the overheating in itself can cause issues too.Īgain, not to sound too pessimistic but this one seems to have potential to turn into an albatross when looking at it at face value. Not being pessimistic here but just realistic. To me, the fact there is no key kinda points to most repairs maybe not being %100 thorough, and you might find the bike being a modge podge of 75% completed repairs. And maybe not a grand, just depends on the market. $750 for the bike and when you sell it what is the most you can get? Let's say $1500 but more realistically $1100 in my neck of the woods. If you are buying this to tinker with as therapy that is one thing, but if you are wanting to make money on it here is why I'd pass. Not only the overheating but also electrical issues. I do not know without looking at it, but I think $750 is a tiny bit steep for a 23 year old bike with 40K and problems.
