Suzuki Intruder M1800R Review

by Deepak on March 12, 2009

A cruiser, a high-end sports bike, a superbike, newbie trying to compete with the Harley Davidson, is few phrases to describe the Suzuki Intruder M1800R. The sports cruiser is born from superior technology so it has advanced features to deliver the much desired high-end performance on any kind of terrain. Bikers say that M1800R is a gixer that received tweaks to be made into a cruiser.

When it comes to looks Suzuki Intruder M1800R sports a unique style statement and that ignites fire in the heart and mind of bike lovers the very first sight. Pretty looking bike, the metal and flesh on Intruder M1800R lures anyone for a test ride for sure. The back tyre is just so huge and it looks raised to the point that it can support the seating posture of the rider. The seat saddle looks dipped and is exclusively for single rider and doesn’t accommodate a pillion (who wants to take a pillion anyway on a bike like this?). The weight of the bike is almost twice that of a GSX R1000.

The pipes are dual cut and they are curved beautifully towards the rear tyre and the side stand of bike is something that’s so artistically designed and conceived. No wonder the machine has become quite popular during its first year of the launch.

Suzuki has thus been successful with the Intruder M1800R, a massive cruiser with height of 1185mm. width 875mm and the length is no less than 2480mm. The exquisite look of this raw mass of metal is accentuated with not only the stylish side stand, but also LED taillight assembly and headlight cover, streamlined. Then the fuel tank looks so stretched out with a capacity of 19.5 liters.

Looks are not all. So said do you know the unique feature of Suzuki Intruder M1800R? The strength of the bike comes as it runs on new, V-twin, 1783cc engine equipped with revolutionary SDTV (Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve) digital fuel injection system, liquid cooled, DOHC and four valves per cylinder. Each cylinder is coated with SCEM (Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material which makes them hardy and heat resistant). Suzuki Intruder has the largest engine pistons than any other motorcycle on this planet. You better believe this. The huge 112mm aluminum-alloy piston is a product of race-proven design to give you an envious performance on the road and the track.

The engine performance of Suzuki Intruder could be compared to Triumph’s Rocket III and not in fact the HD cruiser. The bike weight is mostly taken down beneath its huge fuel tank and also to the front of the rider. So what you might wonder. It implies an easy maneuverability because the seat height becomes lower than the Triumph’s. It also means that the bike is easily manageable. That is quite appealing and the more one rides the bike the better one feels. The bike adjusts so well for comfortable U turns and it should become a child play once a rider gets used to the bike.

Being a very powerful cruiser Suzuki Intruder M1800R comes with a hefty price tag as well. The hyper cruiser, M1800R reflects a perfect blend of styling, extraordinary torque and raw power. Suzuki Intruder M1800R is simply huge and the Japanese company Suzuki intended to make it different from all the other cruisers.

I have test ridden two of these bikes. I would not recommend them to anyone. Both of the bikes that I rode had a seriously dangerous clutch juddering problems. If you check the m109 owners group there are hundreds of complaints from owners about this. Suzuki have so far not issued a recall and are refusing to deal with the problem. Customer support is appalling. I will never buy another Suzuki! Buy a Yamaha warrior instead!
