Been ridding for 30 years; mostly Honda 750-4s.
Got a 86 700 Intruder; it was neat and fun to ride, but sold it to get Harley that was neat, but I got tired of working on it ALL the time.
I just traded my Harley off for another 86 Intruder and a nice 18" ski boat... I'll probably have to work on the boat... KEEP THE RUBBER SIDE DOWN..

Great page... I bought an 86 Intruder last year from an older guy that couldn't ride anymore due to a stroke. It had been garaged for 10 years and had 6,000 original miles on it... No problems, very reliable. At $2,500 bucks I thought it was a steal...
My wife hates the factory seat though... says it hurts her back. Any ideas on where to get some custom seats, preferably wider and more comfortable, or parts?
Also, due to it sitting so long, some of the gaskets are wearing out. I'll have to replace fork seals this year, as well as reservoir tank seals on the front carb... Pipes are blued out and would like to replace these as well. Any one have any suggestions on were to find parts at the best prices?

The 86 Intruder was my first bike. After several years I now ride a Harley Springer Softail. Similar looks to the Intruder, which I'll always consider a great ride! Wouldn't mind having another.
Hi,
Just picked up an 87 Intruder for 100 clams. Think I did pretty good. It's all there and not in too bad shape.
If anyone knows of good places to get parts or have any good info you feel like passing on, please email me.
Jtthor@wm.edu in the subject line please put
"intruder info"
Thanks.

I bought my 87 Intruder 700 for 200 bucks about last year. Changed the plugs and all the fluids, and it runs great, very good acceleration and very easy to ride. This is my first bike and I am very pleased, I'm 6'2 and weigh 300lbs, and it rides great with me on it, so that should be a testament on its own :)
I just wanted to say that I am also 6 foot 2, 285 pounds, built like a football lineman, and when I first saw my bike, I was a little concerned. It runs, handles great, and with the addition of shotgun handlebars and a mustang seat (took sissy bar out) I looks as good as it runs... Suzuki did a great job..
Does anyone know how a 1994 Intruder 800 handles passengers? I am 6' 225 and this is my daily ride. Does great with me, no complaints. My wife wants to ride with me and she's 5'9, 190lbs dressed out. Anyone got any experience carrying passengers of this size on an 800 Intruder? It works great for me... this is my first bike and I'm just curious.
Thanks.
I bought my Suzuki 2 weeks ago. I like it a lot. The only problem is that the summer is too short here in Finland.
