1999 Suzuki reviews

I owned some cruisers; Yamaha Dragstar 650, Virago 1100, HD FXDWG and Intruder 1400. I still have my 99 Intruder 1400. Best bike I ever had. Fast, fun, reliable and best looking bike I ever seen. If I park it, usually people go over to it to check it out or takes photos of it. It weigs 260 kg, but it feels lighter. It handles corners like a racing bike. I will never sell it Show less

Bought older model bike that was done over from powder coating to fresh painted fairings...shorty exhaust new chain and tires...new rims.. etc. Beautiful! And she runs mint. Clutch shifts through every year smoothly and bike idles as if it was new. Couldn't be happier! Show less

Do you want a sport cruiser or a semi-touring bike? This is a great bike - lots of power and great lines. The only drawback is a small gas tank for the size of the motor. It's a good bike for the miles or hauling yourself around. Show less

I've had this bike almost a year & have had no problems so far. I commute on it so reliability is a must. On long rides the stock seat gets a bit old after 7-8 hours. Good power, decent handling and a 'sweet spot' between 70&80 mph make this bike a keeper. Show less

I recently came off of a YZ250F as I decided I wanted to go back to 2 strokes as they are more fun to ride. Found a deal on this 99 and so far it's been a fun bike. Good bottom (I rejetted for the mid sputter it was having) and a good top end. Overall I like this bike as it has a nice hit but not too powerful to wear you out too quickly. Suspension is good on it as my heavier weight has yet to bottom it out. I'd recommend it to anyone... Show less

I enjoy riding this bike. Plenty of torque, always at your disposal. Valve adjustments recommended every 4K (drag). Vibration is a little excessive. Upgrade to 6 speed should make cruising more enjoyable (often looking for that extra gear). Did I say, I love riding this bike. Very easy to ride. Show less

Plenty of power. Very smooth. I have put a back rest on the bike as I have problems with back and neck pain. Bike came with the big Suzuki windshield that really does the job well for blocking the wind. Put an inexpensive cruise control/throttle lock on it to give my hand a rest on long rides. These are just things I did for comfort that I needed to make the bike more comfy for myself. All in all, a vey good bike for the money and great value. No real problems to speak of of, I do have problems once in awhile with the bike not wanting to start. Just hesitates some. Has always started though. I have heard of the this problem before, if you want to call it a problem as the bike always starts. Show less

No new gp replica can be ridden for 10 hours straight. Rider position is good and the seat is comfortable. I wore out my knee scrapers in one month on this thing. It can be ridden in a straight line and taken hard into any corner, and with the 190 rear tire, it's easy to hold on a long one. Frames are strong unlike the new models which will crack with excesive wheelies. The 98 was said to have had injection faults but I have personally never heard of one. Easy enough to service.

I just bought the bike and man am I impressed!! I was told before I bought it that it was very light and fast but I had no idea of the speed. When I got it out on to some back roads that's when the beast hidden inside came out! The bike rides like a dream and the handling is awesome. The bike rockets off in all the gears as if to ask for more throttle. I love it and a first time rider (After attending a ride and safety course) can handle the bike with no problems. Just remember the key is throttle control. I haven't done any mods as of yet but looking to put on a power commander in the winter months. Ride safe and ride hard everybody. Peace Show less

I went from a Honda CT110 to this beast and I'll never go back. This bike is so fast. It has beaten all the competition I went up against. I even raced a 2006 RMZ-450 which had a head start, caught up to it fast but it slowly pulled away when we both were tapped out. I couldn't ask for a better bike. It pulls wheelies easily in the first 4 gears. All my friends are amazed at how much power it has. I mostly trail ride it and it can do that to with ease. I highly recommend this bike to some one that has an experience on a 250. Show less
