I have an 04 Intruder Volusia 800 which is carberated and the 2005 C50 was made with efi. It's the same bike just a name change and efi. A lot of the parts are interchangeable too.
Got a 94 intruder 1400... bike runs amazing. Only gripe is the smaller gas tank at 3 gal but overall i love it. Its a little small like you said but it's a great starter bike and has all the power you could ever need
That's my bike, down to the year! Except mine is the deep pearl blue that almost looks purple but isn't. Mine needed to be overhauled, everything but the engine. The guy that had it left it sitting in the weather for 2 years. All I have left to do is a gasket on the brake light and put the tank and seat back on, they were redone too. Can't wait to ride again. Coming from a 440. That's a nice one and the price is super low. They can get up to 4 in that condition. The handlebars do look different... I bet they are aftermarket, maybe not . Beautiful bike, someone is going to have fun on that!
in answer to the question in the video about a bike that was in production carbed then, basically have a newer version same thing only fuel injected... I believe the Suzuki Intruder 1500 Volusia did that when it went to the 1500 Boulevard C90. same bike only fuel injected. might be wrong, but I think it is.
Its a shame they were not released in Australia ,,they sold the M an C series and the 109R ,,the only S they sell here is the S40 ,,I have a little 2009 M50 and wish I had a M90 although I ride my M50 on a 1200 mile return trip quite often with ease
Hi Sean. Would you happen to know the brand of windscreen that is on this S83? I own a 2005 S83 that was 100% stock and in showroom condition. I want to add both a windscreen like the one you have...most I look at ruin the look of the S83..also I am looking for the seat backrest as well so my passenger lady friend won't feel like she is going to fall off the back!! Plus the backrest really fits on this model of motorcycle. Because to me the S83 Boulevard, or older Intruder was more of a chopper than a cruiser..Having that raked out front end, skinny fuel tank as you mentioned, and the fat rear tire..plus mine has the drag bars..Anyhow thanks for the help if you can remember the brand of the windscreen and see my post...I just want to enjoy the bike more on my highway travels, and be able to stay a little warmer and make my riding season longer up here in the north country.
The C90 is a 1500cc and is a boat compared to the S83. Much bigger in size and weight, but slower in my opinion due to the weight. The S83 is a great bike though.
The suzuki intruder vs1400 was in production from 1987 to 2005 & the S83 boulevard 1400 from 2005 to 2009
Started making the bike in 87 as a 4 speed, became a 5 speed in the USA in 97 (earlier in the rest of the world) rebadged as the S83 Boulevard in 2005

S83 was my first bike swap from 50cc, had one for 5 years, still thinking about it;)

Yamaha Road Star went from carb to fuel injection. Also went from 1600 to 1700 so maybe that's considered a new build/bike?

The 1500 was never called a Volusia, it was the 1500 LC & it became the C90 Boulevard.
P.S. the 1400 was never offered with Fuel Injection
I often have a fondness for Suzukis, especially their cruisers. I hope to buy one some day.
i own a 05 s83 and yes the handle bars are narrow

I love my 94 VS1400, but she is a pain to do work on compared to other cruisers.

The shield in this video don't "suit" the style of the Intruder IMNSHO
But how do they compare to a sportster 1200? Power, comfort, size?
wasn't that what they did with the vulcan 900, they just changed it from carby to efi ?
The Volusia was carburetor till it changed to boulevard same exact bike but fuel injection
How comfortable is this bike?
its pretty comfortable
The c50 went from carb to fI
LMC Germany change it to two sparks per cilinder and Full Injection , ( 91 HP )
Good beginner bike?
What is the difference between s83 and c90?
The C90 is a 1500cc and is a boat compared to the S83. Much bigger in size and weight, but slower in my opinion due to the weight. The S83 is a great bike though.
It still amazes me how little you still know about motorcycles after all this time.
