The Suzuki C1500T Intruder is a cruiser which offers a smooth, silky and effortless ride. Its 4 stroke, 2 cylinder, liquid-cooled V-twin engine ticks all the right boxes and if you are in the market for a bike which is stylish, comfortable to ride and offers a magnificent level of fuel economy, then you might find the C1500T Intruder is the bike you need.
Comfort is the name of the game here; as you would expect from a good cruiser this is a bike which can be ridden all day long without any fatigue and even the pillion seat is plush enough to last for longer journeys.
As with all bikes, the C1500T Intruder does have some limitations but it’s worth bearing in mind that you get a lot of bike for your money here; the C1500T Intruder is by far one of the cheaper cruisers on the market and although it may lack some modern touches such as ABS and traction control and it may struggle at lower speeds, lacking grunt, what you get in return is a bike which looks good, handles well and has been purpose built for a smooth cruise along those open roads.
Suzuki is a brand which means quality and there have been very little issues reported with the C1500T Intruder providing it is kept well serviced, especially if you plan to ride the bike through the winter months. It is fairly cost-effective to run with low road-tax and insurance and is a good all-rounder which delivers exactly what you would expect from a Suzuki cruiser.
