Great little bike. Picked a 2000 model up for £700 I have no problems with the bike.
Excellent commuter bike for older riders and a great first REAL bike for learners.

What can I say that bike does all the talking for you great looks, so much comfort and smooth as hell to ride. Overall I would never get rid of the bike now i know how gd it feels to ride.

I bought one of these new in November '07 and loved every minuite on the bike.
As a new rider I took to is straight away and quickly gained confidence. Un fortunatly the bike was written off in March after some nob decided to u-turn in fron of me without any warning!
Now I've been paid compo I'm getting a new one again and I can't wait!
A lovely machine

The Suzuki Intruder is a fantastic bike, i've got a 1999 version and was (up untill now) doing great, but now it needs new parts (as does anything after 9 years) but can i find these parts anywhere? the awnser is NO! I need new parts for my carburetor or maybe a whole new one- I think I have more chance my nan passing one through her backside before I can get one, and don't think of doing any work yourself because I think they run out of ink before printing any workshop manuals for it because it seems to be the only bike on the planet without one. Don't let me put anyone off because the bike itself is a legend, the grin will be stuck on your face for hours after a ride! I'm itching to get it back on the road but can't.

An amazing bike, I brought this Suzuki VL 125 Intruder just a couple of months ago and I'm in love. The looks are impeccable and its quite punchy for a 125 reaching 80 odd MPH, although it hasn't got the strongest top end theres plenty of power there when you wanna give it some and get away. Handles well and will happily do long journeys, i often commute from Ipswich to Southwold and have had no problems. The v-twin engine and the chromed exhaust (I've got the "two into one" model) make it look much bigger then it is fooling both bikers and non bikers who cant believe its not a 400! the intruder it so impressive it has inspired two of my friends to take up biking.
10/10 I love it

This is my first bike and have been riding it for a year now. It's a great bike as it looks good and can reach a decent speed. I used to travel from London to Ipswich every other weekend on the bike and it was a comfortable journey. I am doing my test soon so I can carry a pillion and I intend to keep it for another year because I like it so much! I also used it to commute and it is great for filtering because people tended to move out of the way which I'm sure they don't for scooters. Overall the Suzuki VL 125 Intruder is a great bike but some people might not like its lack of power at the top end.

Bought a Suzuki VL 125 Intruder earlier this year for the wife who had only got one of those 'twist & go' things! She was really impressed with the big bike look and all the chrome. Although it's only a 125 it gets plenty of heads turning and nods from other passing bikers.
The exhaust noise is a little quiet but saying that it was soon solved with a set of 'flatpipes' attached to the rear half of the exhaust. Now I can really, and I mean really wake up the neighbours and make the windows rattle.
Fuel ecomomy is excellent and insurance not that bad. A couple of bad points...theres no fuel gauge so you have to keep checking the level inside the tank and Im sure it would benefit from a rev counter just for peace of mind when giving it a good thrashing.
All in all an excellent bike that is also learner legal.

Wow, is what I first said when my mate rode round on his Suzuki VL 125 Intruder 125, after that, all I wanted was one of these! Its much better than the 2-smoke wanna be superbikes around as it has much more street presence, looks an well, anything can sound better eh? It may look like a big tourqeie bike, but the power in this bike is quite a way up the rev range, so to get a lot of speed/acceleration your gonna have to gun it a little, but sayin that, if you want speed, your not gonna buy this are you? Riding position is (i think) one of the best for a 125cc bike, it is possible to get the pegs down, but you really have to be pushing it to get one down! Fuel efficency is great, about £5 for 120miles (in summer,relaxed riding) Well, for looks you cant go far wrong as its fun telling 'non bikers' that its only a 125, it also gets some bikers as well, most people I speak to think its at least a 400/600! Well, i think its a great bike, servicing can get a little expensive and if your not careful it can eat chains and sprokets (dont all small engined bikes) so keep it tensioned and well lubed. Great sound and looks for a 125, great 1st cruiser!
