At the heart of the 2013 Suzuki Intruder M1500 custom - cruiser motorcycle, Suzuki utilizes a 1462 cc (89.2 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 96.0 x 101.0 mm (3.8 x 4.0 inches) with a 9.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Intruder M1500 measures 328 kg (723 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 716 mm (28.2 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,690 mm (66.5 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 18-liter (4.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
