Overview
The Suzuki Intruder VS 750GL is a cruiser produced in 1988, with a 747 cm³ four-stroke V-twin, SOHC and four valves per cylinder. It produces 69 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm, where its strongest twisting output is available, and weighs 196 kg wet.
The 1,544 mm wheelbase and wet weight give the Intruder a long, substantial footprint to manage in tight, slow-speed turns. Shaft final drive means there is no chain to clean or adjust, and the rear shocks’ five-way preload adjustment lets you tune their support for different loads; the rear brake is a drum.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Shaft final drive
It avoids the regular cleaning and adjustment required by a chain.
Adjustable rear preload
The five-way setting lets you alter rear shock preload to suit the load.
Things to consider
Rear drum brake
The rear uses a drum rather than a disc, limiting the choice of braking hardware at that wheel.
Large, heavy footprint
Its 1,544 mm wheelbase and 196 kg wet weight can make tight, low-speed maneuvering demanding.
