Suzuki VL 800 Intruder Volusia

This middleweight cruiser, with fully valanced fenders front & rear, has a gleaming four stroke SOHC liquid cooled 805cc V-twin powerplant and laid back riding position, which makes this bike a seriously stylish long distance machine. The engine is tuned for low down torque and that makes for relaxed riding that needs very few gear shifts. The staggered dual exhaust produces the kind of throaty rumble V-twin enthusiasts love to hear. Although it all looks traditional, the engine features a digital ignition system married to a state-of-the-art catalytic converter and Suzuki’s own PAIR (Pulsed-secondary AIR-Injection) system which all help to keep exhaust emissions to a minimum. A hassle-free shaft drive means there are no more grubby hands from oiling the chain as well.
The single rear shock makes sure the ride is always comfortable but helps the bike to retain a hard-tail appearance. The low seat height of just 700mm means it is easy to control, park and steer for riders of all statures. The VL 800 Volusia draws admirers from all across the world – not to mention from its namesake in the USA – Volusia County.
