Overview

The Suzuki Intruder Classic 400 is a cruiser produced from 2005 to 2016. For 2016, its oil- and air-cooled 399 cm³ four-stroke V-Twin makes 33 hp (25 kW) at 8,000 rpm and 24.3 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm; dry weight is 275 kg.

The 701 mm seat height gives the bike a low seating position that can make it easier to put a foot down at a stop. Its 15 L tank and 3 L/100 km fuel consumption correspond to a calculated range of about 500 km, while the chain final drive needs periodic cleaning and adjustment.

Pros and cons

Advantages

Low seat
At 701 mm, the seat height can make stopping and putting a foot down easier.
Long calculated range
The 15 L tank and 3 L/100 km fuel consumption give a calculated range of about 500 km.
Front hydraulic disc
The hydraulic front disc provides disc braking at the front, alongside a rear drum brake.

Things to consider

Heavy at low speeds
Its 275 kg dry weight can make maneuvering and moving the motorcycle at low speeds more demanding.
Chain maintenance
The chain final drive needs regular cleaning and adjustment.
Rear drum brake
The rear brake is a drum rather than a disc.
