Suzuki Intruder LC 1500 reviews

I've put 39,000 miles on my LC and it won't wear out. I've replaced the battery twice and the tires several times, tuned it twice and change the oil and filter every 5000 miles with Rotella synthetic. that's pretty much it. I wanted to buy a new bike but this one won't wear out. I guess I'm stuck with one of the best bikes made. Show less

I've put over 28000 trouble free miles on my LC and it runs better than new. I replaced the battery after a couple of years and am on my third set of tires, other than normal maintenance, that's it. There are no valve adjustments and after buying a shop manual, service is easy. I use Rotella synthetic oil from Walmart and change oil every 5000 miles. I wouldn't hesitate taking a trip across country on it. Thanks for the great bike, Suzuki. Show less

Alas, I have traded in my cruiser for a Hayabusa. But I rode my Intruder for 2 wonderful years and never had a complaint. I would've kept it and got the Hayabusa, but a little voice told me no. (That voice was my wife's.) I went on a 4 day tour with it and loved every second. I was completely comfortable the entire trip. I was getting 45 mpg throughout no matter what altitude. The Harley riders were getting a little tender in their hindquarters by the end of the day, but I never did. The stock saddle is amazing and I had no problem keeping up, actually, leading the other cruisers. Plenty of power and awesome reliability. If you are looking for a cruiser, this is it. I'll miss mine. Show less

My 2nd review...If you read the previous review - you'll notice hardly any miles...thing is I ride when I'm back in Central FL...But when I get there - the Suzy just cranks up and runs like a daily driver. Had a Volusia previously, loved it too. If you are shopping - Get One! Ride as much as you can. I sense this machine will run & run with little problems. Oh, Suzuki... if you read this...More aftermarket accessories! Love this machine! Show less

I previously owned a Volusia and after a year realized that I needed 'longer legs'. I had considered a Yamaha because a friend had a V-Star 1100 and had upgraded to a Road-Star. I researched the LC and found some very positive reviews. Knowing how much I liked the Volusia, I really couldn't betray Suzuki. I had my dealer look and look and he finally found one of the last 2004's in Canada before the change to the injection C90T. Mine is the Canadian SE version with lightbar, boards, lowers, bags, sissy-bar, etc.. All of this was at a very reasonable price so I went for it and have never regreted it. It is a little balky in the morning until it warms up and maybe a thinner oil would help but I can accept that because once my baby's warm...look out. It is a really comfortable bike with sharp looks and power to boot. I get loads of positive comments and some young women have come over and oggled it...much to my wife's chagrin. The C90 will be much the same so do yourself a favor and go try one out for yourself...you'll see that I'm right. Show less

I found a leftover 2003 and got a great deal. It's a lot of fun to ride. Has plenty power. Very comfortable. Always starts and runs excellent. Best buy out there in my opinion and I've owned some 35 bikes. Show less

The machine simply runs great. It sits for weeks at a time in an inflatable "Bike Bubble", and is dust-free and ready to ride when I get back to FL. Rides as strong as any HD out there, and can cruise at 90+ MPH all day with no effort. A hand-full in the city, but once moving, it shows its stuff. Keep shopping HD Fat-Boys - for the right reasons - but this bike does all that for lots less. With pipes and other slight mods - it can fulfill all the needs you have for such a beast! Just wish I could ride it more often! Show less

This is our 2nd Intruder. We had a 1998, then a Valk, an 1800, and then we came back to the 1500 Intruder. It's an awesome bike. Even with my weight, my wife and our saddlebags packed, it still has the power to cruise. Plus it is comfortable for me to ride. Show less

Just a heads up (this is my 4th review). I still ride my Suzy, bought back when I was living in Michigan. I'm in Spain for 2 years now and have the ONLY Intruder red and gold down there. It's still a head turner. I made a 2000 kilometer (800 mile) trip between France and Spain this past summer. The returning trip was 1000 kilometers in a row and I enjoyed every minute of it. The bike is very reliable, had no trouble besidess refilling every 100 miles (or less, just to see people looking hard on my bike). I've put a total of 7000 miles on it and I'll recommend it to everyone. Ride carefully. - A happy Suzy owner. Show less

Never thought I would own a Harley look-a-like. This machine is so much nicer though. The wife loves it and we go on rides whenever possible. Very comfortable and smooth to ride. Show less
