I'm surprised there wasnt a propeller on top of your hat
Just last week on Apr 23 I got a 2001 vs800 and it is immaculate. 100% stock, only additions are saddlebags and a half-windshield. I'm in love, handles phenomenally, super comfy and neutral is really easy to find. Excellent bike
VS 800 all the way boys. Picked up a 92 in carribean blue for $450usd. I've dropped around $3k on the bike since, including a new motor with 450 miles on it after I blew the connecting rod on the front cylinder. Old motor had 25k miles on it. Love the pipes on the bike in the video, definitely jealous! I'll post a video of mine this spring after I'm done painting it. Buddies want me to get a sportster, screw that!!!
The 800 are nice but I absolutely love my intruder 1400s I ride with a lot of Harleys and let's just say I'm never in the back 🤘🏼
Hi, i'm looking for à new custom. Intruder are one of my chose. But it hard top try one.
I would like to know if on this bike we could find "good vibes" like on the sportster? Or juste smooth like 4 online?
Thanks
👌🏾✊🏽👊🏾🤘🏾
@@oliviercapdevielle291 definitely a Sportster vibe either way🤘🏼 but the 1400s are nice starts out with 72hp 83lbs of torque and with stage 2 kit for the carbs, pod filters, and exhaust will turn out 125hp
Stock, the 800 beats out its larger 1400 brother in almost every way, as long as you are below average height. I chose a 1400 to keep in Vegas for five years when I used to spend a week per month there. It was chromed out and had a plum ghost flame paint job. It was a great choice for cruising the Strip. But it had fair to poor handling. Now that I stay close to the Blue Ridge Mountains I tried an 800 and was blown away with its good twisty road handling and excellent slow speed handling. I have a 96 with the buck horn pull back handlebars, and recently added a 2001 with milder cruiser handlebars. I still can't believe I ignored these VS800 bikes all these years because of my disappointing experience with the 1400.
Any chance you can give me a reference for your tank I’m looking for one for my build
I think it was the stock one ... just painted matte black.
I’ve had 2 vs800s, a 06’ and a one owner mint condition 96’. After I sold my 06’ I bought a Harley super glide and tbh I loved the Suzuki way more. Hence why I bought my 96’. The biggest drawback is the lack of parts and aftermarket support. I’m not sure what’s available overseas but in America there’s virtually no options for parts.
In Europe it’s not too bad ... but in the US I imagine finding Harley parts at every street corner, so in comparison Suzuki is probably a little more lackluster.
I’m in Japan rn looking for a bobber tank for my intruder like the one in this video. Really that’s all I need to finish my build
VS: Value Sportster
@@KRANKiT lol, you need the spare parts for the Dentist’s bike. Suzuki keeps going and going ✊🏽👊🏾
Suzuki Intruder, is forever and ever. ❤
I have a 2000 completely stock except for a Corbin leather seat..me and my wife love taking summer rides for dinner on it..sweet bike
Sorry i have to strongly disagree! The best sportster is the vs1400 lol
Well, I’d argue that’s a slightly different class :))
Have owned five Harley, got tired of them all very fast. Boring bikes and only jokers think they are special above other bikes…….
Nice bike nice video bro, surprised you dont have more subs!
Thanks!
My virago 535 1995 hits 105 mph
Faster and higher than a sportster
HD expensive and slow 😮
i have one as one of my bikes ive had it 18 years its got forwards rejeted carbs and i have got hold of some of the rare alloy wheels and i love it
Their just so cool. Most of us started on Japanese iron. I was started on a Honda Z-50 jumping straight into an RM-80 the last year they were air cooled and had double shock rear suspension. lol
That bike ate everything until the 82 or 83 YZ . I’ve loved Suzuki and Honda ever since. 👊🏾✊🏽
Blana clipu! Sunt pe cale sa imi iau un vs750🤘🏼 Asfalt uscat!
I have a 1999 VS800 and a 2004 VS1400. Decent out of the box, a set of slipons and rejetting the carb turns then into something really fun.
Yeah but your 800 has way better handling in the twisties than the 1400!
@@papatorr3669 I think the 800 handles better overall than the 1400.
I want model 1996 - 800 cc
Great video mate !
I'm sitting here watching this because in the morning I'm off to check out an 01 VS 800, burgundy. Stock and on the road. I've rented a van , have got ramps, and cash to make the current owner happy. I'm so phuking excited I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight !But the best part is the price, ....$????.👍🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
i got a 97 Marauder or VZ800. love it. bought it new in 97. only owner. still ride it. ive worn everything out but the engine. tough and durable and more so reliable. it needs fork seals , tires , brakes and tank repair . but still runs like a champ! the Marauder came with a chain drive and i got sick of it after years of chain crap and 7 changes of sprokets and chains. it took a paint scraper and sand blaster to remove the years of chain sludge.
She sounds like a trooper!
@@KRANKiT yea it is. and these bikes are very available and cheap. just gotta know those suzuki twin carb set ups. one down draft and one side draft. strangest crap in motorcycles but when they are tuned correctly, they frighin ripp. mine gives my buddies dyna with 108 hp twin cam , a run for it's money. he'll 5ake the long race but i kill him for the first 200 ft.
Where can I get those pipes? Or are they custom?
I think they were custom, but they came with the bike
Good vid
I like some folks customization on the Vs800, personally, I really love the stock look. With aftermarket exhaust my 83' is goddamn cherry
Parabéns, linda moto, tenho uma marauder vz800, abraços
Brasil, Minas Gerais, Barbacena.
No it's not
Had one for couple of years. It's a great bike, however moved to VS1400 year ago and this machines torque will blow your socks off ...
I’m looking to buy an 800 or a 1400. Which would you say is better? The 1400 has more torque but everyone says the 800 is more fun. Price for a 1400 is easily €1000 more than an 800 over here.
@@brb653 There are pros and cons in both. VS1400 is heavier and bulkier to handle. It really feels like a big bike. 800 is lighter and easier to handle. The best way to find out is to try them both which one you like more. One addition to this, if you are not riding alone then the 1400 might be more suitable. Cheers.
@@hannuhanhi183 Thanks!
@@hannuhanhi183 Thanks for the info!
well said
The exhaust and back end look terrible
There are so awesome custom intruders out there but this ain't 1 of them
With custom bikes ... it’s really subjective, as long as you make the bike for yourself that’s all that matters.
Worst sportster ever.
PLEASE make a video like this for the VN800
No, it doesn't sound like a harley at all. No matter what pipes it has.
I recently just bought a 99 vs800 and looking to purchase new handlebars for it. What bars do you have on yours? And did you use factory cables?
I am not sure on the bars themselves, but I do know the cables are not stock.
@@KRANKiT ok appreciate it man. Love your bike!
Thanks! It’s not mine but I’ll pass the compliment to the owner :)
I know I put 10in bars on my 1400 and didn't have to change lines or cables
I'm in Uganda how can I get a used one please
Nice thanks for sharing👍👍👍
I just purchased a 03 vs800gl not running and looked like crap lol.. but with a little love it's all good. The only draw back is the way the carbs are setup and the battery compartment.
Yeah, everyone hates that stupid battery compartment. :))
Spettacolare
That... Was... Beyond awesome. I'm in tears. I'm buying one, it's decision then. I wouldn't mind that handle bar if it was just a few inches (cm, whatever😛) lower. What are your thoughts on it?
Whatever fits you best, those bars can be modified in a wide array of ways
Edit: i ended up buying a 750 intruder. Loving it to the tiniest detail ❤️
What’s the handle bar set up? I really like those ones
I wish I remembered ... but I’m afraid I don’t.
Nice bike bro
Where did you get the front controls from?
They came with the bike, I don’t really know.
Awesome video, man! One of the best bike´s vid! Congrats
Thanks man!
@@KRANKiT Cheers from Portugal
Nice bike 😉 What do you think about the Honda VT600 Shadow for a beginner? I think they looks great as well and they look a little bit more than the Harley Davidson Sportster 🤩
I haven’t ridden one, so can’t say. I’ve heard a lot of beginners start on one and are pleased with it, but I have no first hand experience either one.
I have a VT1100, great bike. VT600 is great too, howewer, I would probably get VT750
Vlx 600 is an awesome bike for everyone, only 4 gears but they are stretched out plenty, just sold mine in Dec I am over 40 and have ridden most of my life lots of bikes and the vlx 600 I would recommend to everyone
Great bikes had mine 10 years, got suzuki 750 intruder to (not running yet) and 2 other bikes. Everyday ride ntv 650 Honda, best bike ever had for daily use. Do very high mileage little maintenance. (shaft drive too)
