Description

This bike is so sweet. Take a look at this one with 25,985 miles that runs, drives, and shifts out 100%! Side bags, Backrest, Windshield, and Front bag!Call today 941-479-7959 for more information.Keeping what appears to be an old-school bike current, a digital ignition system with 3-D timing maps and throttle position sensor make sure the fuel-air mixture gets lit off at the correct moment. The throttle response was excellent except for when the bike was cold. It takes a long time to get the motor up to temperature so you have to be patient before really enjoying the thing. But once warmed up, power spins from the five-speed transmission (featuring a high fifth gear ratio for relaxed highway cruising, Suzuki claims) through the shaft final-drive to the rear wheel smoothly every time the throttle is opened. Suzuki claims their shaft-drive system has "low torque reaction," but I think all that means is that their shaft-drive system doesn't suck. It is, in fact, pretty well-sorted out. Just like the rest of the bike.For the price of this Volusia, it's more than just a bargain, it's an absolute steal. It's quite an impressive performer and something that Suzuki should be really proud of. It's just a shame the bike will continue to go relatively unnoticed with all the current marketing hype that targets Power Cruisers.This bike has us already preparing a few other bikes for a mid-size cruiser comparo. We're anxious to see if there's anything else out there that can rival this Volusia's bang for the buckModel:Suzuki VL 800 Intruder VolusiaYear:2002Category:Custom - cruiserRating:80.2 out of 100.
