What I have to say about the Suzuki Intruder

- 90's motorcycles are making a huge come-back, and there are a lot of reasons why. (I don't go into a lot of depth in this video). But there are lots of other videos explaining why these bikes were known to be some of the most comfortable, stylish and reliable bikes of their time. Enjoy!
I just bought a heritage Softail, but I absolutely refuse to part with my 98 VS1400, same color as yours. My wife and I have had too many wonderful weekend rides on it to ever let it go. Thank you for the video!
I had one 3 years and it was probably the best of the V twin motorcycles. Power everywhere, smooth running, fantastic sound and shaft driven. Brakes need improvement but it is not hard get done. The kicked out front end is fantastic on the road but can be a problem when low speed maneuvering in tighter spaces. I wish they had put another two gallons of fuel capacity in the tank.
I found it had one really bad fault that depending where you ride you might not ever encounter. In hot weather with heavy stop and go traffic the hydraulic assisted clutch would boil the fluid. You was not going anywhere till it cooled.
I'm actually glad you gave me the heads up on that. So far I've never had that happen to me. But that doesn't mean it couldn't at some point. The brake's definitely could use a little bit of tweaking. I'm not particularly used to having both a front and rear disc. To be honest, I like the rear drum assembly a little better on the 800. But overall, terrific bike! Such a smooth ride and very nice handling! And you can't be the classic look. 😎👌
@@SteelCowGirl4Ever I only had clutch boil three times in the time I owed the bike. While at Rolling Thunder, a rally in the Black Hills and Daytona. Not your normal situation for sure. I bought a new Suzuki front wheel that with new wheel spacers fit perfectly and was drilled and taped for dual disc brake rotors. Got the other items at a salvage yard for motorcycles. I am sure it will cost more now but in 1999 I only spent about 400 bucks. I only needed one finger on the brake lever to stop and two fingers would slide the front tire.
Very close good friend has the bike now. Engine assembly has never been touched except oil and spark plug changes, paint still very good. She has made 103,751 miles with only two owners. Metzler 888 tires are really nice on this Bike and will last 18 to 20 thousand miles.

These have always been the “other bike” but they are sweet. The hardware is unique
@@1BuckeyeRob I agree! I know most people seem to like Harley-Davidsons. But I prefer a bike that starts up without a deafening "clunk' or the possibility of launching the bendix through the starter housing and clear across a parking lot. The compression on this bike is nice and even. -Never leaks, doesn't vibrate apart. But the overall design and architecture of it are what truly sold me back in 2013. But when I took the test drive, (all bets were off). I ended up bringing it home the very next day. Lol!
Hope you're still out there rolling iron!
Hey, how are you doing? Nice Bikes.
@@57HarleyDavidson Hey man! How's things??
And thanks. Still roll'n strong. U still have that Camaro?
@@SteelCowGirl4Ever The Polaris you mean, No sold it a while ago :( because there was no place to ride it.
@@57HarleyDavidson Oh wow, I don't know why I thought you had a Camaro. But I do remember you mentioning the Polaris and being a little too restricted on where you could ride it. And that's a shame, because Land is disappearing just about everywhere to make room for housing developments. I feel like there's nowhere to enjoy off-roading toys anymore.
@@SteelCowGirl4Ever They keep building damn housing, condos, gas stations, store's etc. instead
Love your bikes!!! And the red ones got some chop
@@peacedemon9457 Many thanks! Always fun hearing from someone that knows a good thing when they see it. ☺️👌
👌👌 cheeyaaah
Hey ya remember me 😃
@@BLOGOFASHISH Hey you! Been a long time! How's life?
@@SteelCowGirl4Ever *Quite bad* As I'm still a 10th grader, so I am a bit confused 😕, but I'm trying to catch up, my preparatory exams are still going on, so I'm not getting free time nowadays... Btw how are you? It's been a while since I haven't talked...😄
@@BLOGOFASHISH
All you can do is keep your head above the water there, and as much as possible. That means don't let yourself be radicalized by social pressures and toxic masculinity. In other words, (don't follow everything you see on social media). You just keep your grades up and invest as much in yourself as possible and you'll do great! As for me, I'm doing very well for myself. Finished college, got myself a cushy career. So things are going well. But do I miss being a student sometimes? (Definitely). Lol
@@SteelCowGirl4Ever I'm happy to hear about that! So I'm new on the channel, that's why I want you to tell me about your channel :)
Wait a minute, how do u both know each other. You're in 10th grade & from India. What am I missing?? lol
Invicta = (narcissist).
-So does owning 2 bikes.
Okaayyy ... All I'm going to say to that is (I get what I've worked for). -Nothing's been handed to me.
Hey, I saw you in plenty of comments. You can guess from where lol. I'm just wondering, is there any particular reason why u have been posting them. I have seen u in plenty of videos with comments ranging from a month ago to as old as 2 years lol.
Edit: Oh nvm 10 day old lol
Edit: nvm just 40 minutes ago lol
@@dishwas_her1160 😄
I see u replied something which was offensive and got deleted. I mean no harm, just really I actually am on ur side.
Relaxxx
Edit: nah was just an emoji, maa bad
@@SteelCowGirl4Ever Oh nvm it was just an emoji, lol took some time to get here.
Seriously, just curious. I see u made comments on "wahmen driving fail" videos where they were harmless and actually pretty convincing. To most of ur comments seeming pretty off & bitter these days. u okay??
I feel like social media & those algorithms really do a number on us sometimes lol
@@dishwas_her1160 Haha, no. It's all in good fun. I have a good time going on all those videos and talking myself up for the simple fact that I can prove and back everything I say. I've been winning at my own game when it comes to that for many decades. It's just a fun little past time. Although a lot of people get pretty offended by it. But I sort of prey on that because if that's the kind of person they are, then I just tend to have even more fun with it. Lol
