Suzuki Intruder M1800r
The Suzuki Intruder M1800r has a top speed of 200 km/h (electronically limited; estimated, may vary), produces 127 hp and weighs 347 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
De Suzuki Intruder M1800R (verkocht als de Boulevard M109R in Noord-Amerika) werd in 2006 geïntroduceerd als Suzuki's belangrijkste motorcruiser, met een enorme V-twin-motor met brandstofinjectie van 1783 cc, ontworpen om rechtstreeks te concurreren met Yamaha's V-Max en de grote kruisers van Harley-Davidson. Het heeft een reputatie opgebouwd vanwege zijn agressieve styling, brede achterband en indrukwekkende koppel bij lage toerentallen, waardoor het een van de krachtigste productiecruisers van zijn tijd is. De M1800R werd een referentie in het power cruisersegment en kreeg in de loop der jaren updates, waaronder de R2-variant met herziene styling en uitrusting.

Wat kopers moeten weten
Rock-Solid Engine Reliability
The 1783cc V-twin engine is widely regarded as one of the most durable in its class, with many owners reporting 50,000+ miles with minimal issues when properly maintained.
Watch the Final Drive
The shaft drive system can develop leaks over time — always inspect the rear drive unit for oil seepage, as repairs can be costly if neglected.
Strong Resale Value
The M1800R holds its value better than many competitors in the cruiser segment, making it a smart buy used and a reliable resale if you decide to sell later.
Generaties en specificaties per jaar
Introductie van 1783cc V-twin, brandstofinjectie, asaandrijving, Boulevard M109R in Noord-Amerika.
"Excessieve musclebike met verrassende Japanse lak."
Die V-twin van 1783 cc trekt als een goederentrein vanaf 2.500 tpm — je laat deze motor niet draaien, je leunt er gewoon op, en hij reageert met een muur van koppel waardoor je bijna heftig achterover in de brede stoel wordt geduwd. Dankzij de asaandrijving is hij echt onderhoudsarm voor lange ritten, en de zithoogte van 700 mm is een echte zegen voor kleinere rijders die toch een intimiderende aanwezigheid willen hebben. Het gewicht op nat wegdek van 347 kg is geen suggestie — het is een verplichting; bij langzaam manoeuvreren op parkeerterreinen kom je meerdere keren voor de gek, en de brede stangen helpen maar zo veel. De brandstofinjectie van deze generatie is goed in kaart gebracht en scherp, maar de koelribben zijn vooral decoratief: dit is een vloeistofgekoelde motor die een cosplay-outfit draagt, en hij loopt wel warm in langzaam verkeer.
Pluspunten
Nadelen
Herziene brandstofinjectiekaart, bijgewerkte stylingdetails, verbeterde gasrespons en kleine verfijningen.
Updates van de Euro 4-conformiteit, herzien uitlaatsysteem, kleine cosmetische en emissiegerelateerde wijzigingen.
Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"A genuinely serious cruiser that rewards riders who actually ride."
$6,500-$11,000 usedThe M1800R is Suzuki's answer to the big V-twin cruiser wars, and honestly it's a compelling one. That 1800cc motor is the real deal — smooth, torquey, and genuinely impressive pulling power from almost any rpm. It doesn't feel like a poseur bike. It feels like a motorcycle that wants to actually be ridden hard on a canyon road, not just parked outside a diner. The riding position is relaxed without being completely reclined, and the chassis handles better than the sheer size suggests it should. Buying used, watch the final drive — these shaft-drive bikes can develop clunks if serviced poorly. Also check the fork seals and give the throttle bodies a good look; lean surging at low speeds is a known grumble. Parts availability is decent but not great at independent shops, so factor in dealer costs. Models from 2012 onward got refinements worth seeking out. Budget for a proper service regardless of claimed history.
