1986 Suzuki VS750 Intruder

In 1986, Suzuki launched the 1986 Suzuki VS750 Intruder — a cruiser that would come to define an era of motorcycling. Hailing from Japan, it combined Japan engineering with cruiser appeal.

The 1986 Suzuki VS750 Intruder is motivated by a 747cc OHC V-twin twin-cylinder unit delivering 56hp at 7500 rpm. Breathing through 2x Mikuni carburetors and kept cool by water-cooled, the engine drives through a 5-speed transmission with shaft final drive.

Built around a steel double cradle frame, the 1986 Suzuki VS750 Intruder suspends its 213 kg (470 lbs) on telescopic fork forks and twin shock rear units. Braking relies on single disc at the front and drum at the rear, with a 1530 mm wheelbase providing stability.

Performance-wise, the 1986 Suzuki VS750 Intruder achieves a claimed top speed of 165 km/h (103 mph). With a fuel capacity of 13.0 liters, it offers reasonable range for cruiser duties. The seat height of 720 mm makes it accessible for most riders.
