Overview
The Suzuki VS 800GL INTRUDER is a cruiser in the VS family, produced from 1996 to 2002. The 2002 model has a liquid-cooled 805 cm³ V-Twin and a dry weight of 201 kg.
Its 700 mm seat height gives a relatively low perch, while the 201 kg dry weight can take effort to manage at walking pace. The 1,560 mm wheelbase favors a settled feel on the road but makes tight turns less nimble; shaft drive avoids chain cleaning and adjustment, and the 12 L tank means planning fuel stops on longer rides.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Low seat
The 700 mm seat height makes it easier for many riders to get a foot down at stops.
Shaft drive
The shaft drive avoids the routine cleaning and adjustment needed by a chain.
Things to consider
12 L fuel capacity
The 12 L tank can mean more frequent fuel stops on longer rides.
Weight at low speed
At 201 kg dry, the motorcycle can be demanding to maneuver around a parking lot or garage.
