Intruder M800Z (K9)

The Intruder M800Z is Suzuki doing a chopper the Suzuki way: long, low, lots of metal, and no drama underneath. An 805 cc liquid-cooled 45° V-twin makes 53 hp and 52 lb-ft, with that torque peak arriving at just 3,200 rpm, so the bike pulls from where you actually ride it. Power goes to the rear wheel through a five-speed gearbox and a shaft, which means no chain to lube or adjust. Electronics? There aren't any: no ABS, no traction control, no ride modes. In the mid-size cruiser class this is the straightforward, dependable choice with real chopper presence.

It ages the way a good Suzuki does: quietly. Reliability is strong, running costs are low, and the shaft drive takes the dirtiest job off your to-do list. At 593 lb (269 kg) it's no featherweight, but the handling stays accessible and it sits rock steady on the highway. It's for you if you want the look and the relaxed twin for short rides, commuting and easy weekend miles, without the ownership bill. The honest caveat: the fuel injection can feel snatchy at very low speeds, and neither the fork nor the shock offers any adjustment. You take it as it comes.
