2016 Suzuki Intruder C1500T B O S S Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Suzuki's touring motorcycle lineup, the 2016 Suzuki Intruder C1500T B O S S relies on a 1462 cc (89.2 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 77.8 HP (56.8 kW) at 4,800 rpm while maximum torque reaches 131 Nm (96.6 lb-ft) at 2,600 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 53.2 HP per liter and a 2,200 rpm working window between peak torque (2,600 rpm) and peak power (4,800 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.

On the scales, the Intruder C1500T B O S S measures 363 kg (800 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.21 HP/kg (4.67 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 720 mm (28.3 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,675 mm (65.9 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 18-liter (4.8 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 4.41 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 408 km (254 miles) between fill-ups.
