Stocky Cruiser

The Suzuki Intruder M1800R is a big bulky cruiser that is meant for only for those who can handle a big bike.

You also need deep pockets to buy one. The common man is left admiring and ogling at it like Romeo looked at Juliet, perched high on her balcony. This is probably the reason why Suzuki Motorcycles India Private Limited decided to bring the Intruder to the Indian market in a new 150cc avatar.

DESIGN AND STYLE

The new Suzuki Intruder is essentially a miniature version of the 1800cc beast. So you get a similar design silhouette. However, the claddings on the sides are bulkier on this bike. You get curvy and smooth flowing lines running from front to back. The big triangular headlamp upfront adds to the bulky proportions of the bike and it is bound to leave an imposing impression when out on the road. The front head light consists of a large halogen bulb accompanied by an LED projector light. The tail-lamp is full LED. The red stitching on the black seats is appealing. What did not sit too well with me was the plastic quality around the tank and the exposed wiring which could have also been tucked away in a neater manner. While the foot pegs for the pillion are decent, they would have been better if they were slightly longer.
