| | The Suzuki Intruder 1500 , a motorcycle with cruiser stylings, was first introduced in 1985 as the VS700. Suzuki made this model to compete with the big American bikes. Besides having a lower price and being made in a different country, their were three major differences between the Japanese motorcycle and it's American counter-part: the v-twin style engine was not air cooled and rather water cooled like a car; the engine and transmission were both built into the same case; and instead of being chain driven, the engine powered the back wheel with a drive shaft.
Even with these differences--and some would say because of them riders the US over started noticing this new, imported motorcycle. People who couldn't justify paying the high prices but still wanted the good looks of the American cruiser no longer had to go without. In fact, those looking for a new bike that was easy on the pocketbook were no longer stuck with generic sports bikes or standard street bikes. Now they could have something that they always dreamed about; not just a grocery getter, but something that pleaded to be ridden on the open highways. I would not be surprised that many relationships were downright ruined when it came to making a choice between spending quiet-time at home with a loved or hitting the open road.After seeing what happened to those who chose not to stay home, most riders learned it would be wise to take their significant with them.
While this likely didn't work for everybody, it surely made some people that much closer. Spending all day long together on a motorcycle can have that effect!Unfortunately, Intruders are not the biggest bike. They share much in common with the choppers from the late 60's and 70's and this is evident in their clean, lean profile. This, of course, means there is little storage place for one person's things, let alone two people's things. The addition of saddlebags, fork bags, and luggage racks can help remedy that problem by holding just enough items for two people out on a three-day weekend trip.There was just one problem: 699cc's was a little underpowered for rider, passenger, and bags full of camping gear. Overseas, the manufacturers and designers listened to their customers' complaints suggestions and remedied this problem with their next model in this timeless series.If you'd like to follow along and learn more about these venerable bikes, click here: Suzuki Intruder 1500 . 1500}, a {motorcycle|motorbike} with cruiser-stylings, was first introduced in 1985 as the VS700.
