VS 1400 GLP Intruder

2000 Suzuki VS 1400 GLP Intruder Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Suzuki for the custom - cruiser motorcycle segment, the 2000 Suzuki VS 1400 GLP Intruder relies on a 1380 cc (84.2 cu in) oil & air-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 61 HP (44.5 kW) at 5,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 105 Nm (77.4 lb-ft) at 2,800 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 44.2 HP per liter and a 2,200 rpm working window between peak torque (2,800 rpm) and peak power (5,000 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.

On the scales, the VS 1400 GLP Intruder measures 247 kg (545 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.25 HP/kg (4.05 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 740 mm (29.1 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,620 mm (63.8 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 13-liter (3.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 170 km/h (106 mph).
