At the heart of the 2006 Suzuki Intruder M800 custom - cruiser motorcycle, Suzuki utilizes a 805 cc (49.1 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 55 HP (40.1 kW) at 6,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 69 Nm (50.9 lb-ft) at 4,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 68.3 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (4,000 rpm) and peak power (6,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Intruder M800 measures 245 kg (540 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.22 HP/kg (4.45 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 700 mm (27.6 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,655 mm (65.2 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 15.5-liter (4.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
