Good Points: shaft drive, weight, comfort, and styling

Bad Points: none

General comments: Just picked up a 2002 volusia 800 from an older gentleman that purchase the next larger model from Suzuki. I've been out just a few time because of bad weather, but I can tell I've picked up a gem of a bike. He's made the upgrades that alot of people do suggest, a mustang seat , full windshield and floor boards, this makes for an enjoyable riding experience. I've been very pleased with the exceleration from the shaft drive, handling and it's weight, it's got that the big bike feel. Looking forward for day long and weekend cruises. My opinion a can't miss motorcycle.

If you have the chance to own one of these Suzuki Volusia VL800K3 bike's I say do so you will enjoy every minute that you are on it. This v-twin has the look the feel of a true road machine. If you like the look of a H-D but don't have that kind of cash you can own one of these bikes for about half of what you would pay for a H-D!!!!!!

Great bike overall... Everything is good... gel in the seat from factory would have been good guess they could pay more attention to the needs of the rider.

I've ridden many similar bikes over the years, but the Suzuki Volusia sits and rides like a good American. More bang for the buck, not many accessories, but that's a good thing, no money pit!

The Suzuki Volusia was test driven by myself some days ago.
I found the bike very good. Good fuel range say 150. Gear change was faultless but when you have to stop then you knock 1st gear to go it takes a bit long to go. The revs are around 3500 for it to take off from stop. But on the run it goes well smooth very smooth. With no snatch from the shaft drive. Also footboards help on it relaxed. Long rides, handle bars very laid wide but perfect.
Yep go for it. if you dont want something heavy an ...

As an older rider it suits me. I am a cruiser not a peg scraper.
Not the most exciting bike in the world compared to my previous bikes but I do enjoy it. I scraped the pegs a lot the first few times out until I learned not to lean too much..
The wind blast at speed is a pain but I plan to fit a screen.

Most 'cruisers' don't handle worth a darn, this Suzuki Volusia VL800K3 is an exception with really excellent handling. Very economical, I get 50 mpg. It's comfortable to ride over a long distance without frequent stops & the handlebars & rear view mirrors are free of vibration. As a point of interest it's actually longer than a Harley Davidson Electra Glide! I love this bike!

Suzuki Volusia VL800K3 2002 model. Almost 10k mi., now, and loving it. Of course one always wants something bigger and better, but, during this model year, I don't believe you could get more bang for your cruiser buck. A 2006 Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 Nomad will probably be the next bike for me.

I have owned the Volusia for 4 months and i find it a pleasure to ride. It is comfortable, handles well, good fuel consumption (I managed 55 to 56 mpg on a run), plenty of extras to customise it and always attracts attention when riding or parked up.
The plastic fenders and panels keep the weight down and also the rust!

One fault I did find with this bike is the footstand, at first I thought it was just inexperience as I have only been riding bikes approximately 5 years. The stand does not ...

Overall this Suzuki Volusia VL800K3 Motorcycle is good value for anybody's money, ideal bike for small and tall people alike, can be individualzied to your own spec. Suzuki parts are very expensive, pays to shop around you'll find what you are looking for and normally cheaper than Suzuki parts. Pity that there is no automatic choke. That said it sounds and looks good overall a great bike for me, looking to keep it for years to come.

I bought this Suzuki Volusia VL800K3 bike in 2003. I have owned many other motorcycles both smaller and larger in displacement. This bike is an outstanding value and an outstanding motorcycle. It may not have the power to rip the handlebars out of your grip if you crank too much throttle but it will run with the big boys all day long and easily out corner them. This bike inspires confidence and I have laid this bike over so far the pegs were grinding and the bike never lost its cool.

It is ex ...

I'm 39 years old and this Suzuki Volusia VL800K3 is my first motorcycle ever. For me, the Volusia has been a fabulous first bike. Yes, it's big (physically larger than a Harley Fat Boy or Road King!), but it's light for its size (lighter than the much smaller Harley Sportster). She also carries her weight very low, so she's easy to handle. After 9,000 miles, I still have not dropped her.

The 805cc V-twin engine has good power without being overly powerful - it's a very forgiving bike and ...

I have owned many road motorcycles over the years and this Suzuki volusia VL800K3 is the best. I am 42 and without doubt, if you can accept (in your mind) that this is only 800cc, everything is fantastic. cb

All in all the Suzuki volusia VL800K3 is the best bike I have owned. My brother in law has a Heritage Softail and when we go to rallys or rides, MINE gets the looks and attention. Is got Great classic looks, comfort, power. A real head turner. EXCELLENT value. No one who looks or rides believes it an 800.

Suzuki volusia VL800K3 was my first cruiser. After trying many I found this to be the best. value / finish / size / performance.
Looks to die for all add up to be a cracking bike. I have never had so much fun going so slow after chasing my tail all these years on sports bikes.
