Overview

The Suzuki Intruder M 1800 R is a cruiser produced from 2006 to 2016. The 2016 model has a liquid-cooled, fuel-injected 1,783 cm³ V-twin producing 123 hp (92 kW) at 6,200 rpm and 160 Nm of torque at 3,200 rpm; its wet weight is 347 kg.

Peak torque arrives well before peak power, giving the engine its strongest pull at lower revs. The 705 mm seat height puts the rider low, while the 347 kg wet weight can make slow-speed maneuvering more demanding. A shaft final drive avoids the regular chain cleaning and adjustment that chain-driven bikes require.

Pros and cons

Advantages

Low seat
At 705 mm, the seat height can make it easier to put a foot down at a stop.
Strong low-rev torque
The 160 Nm peak at 3,200 rpm gives the V-twin substantial pulling force without needing to reach its power peak.
Shaft final drive
The shaft eliminates routine chain cleaning and adjustment.

Things to consider

Heavy at low speed
Its 347 kg wet weight can take more effort to balance and maneuver in tight spaces.
Limited ground clearance
The 130 mm clearance leaves less room for deep bumps and steeply angled surfaces.

How to measure

Stand barefoot with your back to a wall. Hold a book firmly between your legs, then measure from the floor to the top edge of the book.

Estimated ground reach

Both feet likely flat

You should have a stable stance at a stop, although seat width and suspension setup still matter.
