The Suzuki GS series was Suzuki Motor Corporation's first full range of 4-stroke powered road motorcycles, having previously almost exclusively manufactured 2-stroke machines. Suzuki had produced the 4-stroke Colleda COX 125cc and 93cc 4-stroke single-cylinder machines in 1955 however the rest of Suzuki's production from 1952 to 1976 had been increasingly sophisticated two-stroke road machines, whose ultimate expression was the 750cc 3-cylinder water-cooled GT750.
The Suzuki Boulevard S50 is a motorcycle manufactured by Suzuki and released in 2005 and production stopped in 2009. It features an 805 cc v-twin engine with four valves per cylinder. It was formerly named the Intruder 1985 - 1991 VS 700 (USA), 1985 VS 750 (worldwide) and VS 800.
The Honda VTX series is a line of V-twin Honda cruiser motorcycles inspired by the Zodia concept shown at the 1995 Tokyo Motor Show. The Honda VTX 1800 was launched in 2001 as a 2002 model. At the time this bike was introduced the Honda VTX engine was the largest displacement production V-twin in the world, but that distinction would be short-lived as the VTX1800 was superseded in 2004 by the 2.0-litre Kawasaki Vulcan 2000. Nevertheless, the VTX 1800 still produced better 0-60 mph and 1/4 mile times.

The shaft effect, also known as elevator effect or shaft jacking, is a phenomenon occurring in shaft-drive motorcycles. This effect occurs because the acceleration being applied to the rear wheel creates a reactive force on the drive shaft. This in turn lifts the rider and the body of the bike, exacerbating the natural "tucking under" of the rear wheel. Under acceleration Newton's third law says trying to turn the wheel forward exerts a reactionary force against the drive mechanism. In the case of a belt, this makes the top part of the belt tighten and the whole bike "shrug" down just a bit. This is typically obscured because acceleration causes the rear wheel to "tuck under." A shaft-drive, on the other hand has a rigid connection to the hub so this reactionary force turns the shaft backwards about the rear wheel and the middle of the bike "tightens" and lifts the rider up. This effect is one of the most notable differences between riding a shaft-driven motorcycle and a typical motorcycle. The effect is most pronounced on older models of motorcycle as most modern shaft-driven bikes use one or two Paralevers to limit the rotation of the rear hub relative to the bike frame.
The Suzuki Intruder is a series of cruiser motorcycles made by Suzuki from 1985 to 2005. After 2005, the Intruder lineup was replaced by the Boulevard range. In Europe, the Intruder name remains in use on certain models. The VS Intruder bikes all have 4-stroke V-twin engines.
The Suzuki Boulevard C50 (VL800) is a cruiser motorcycle made by Suzuki Motor Corporation since 2001. Prior to 2005, the model was named the Volusia for Volusia County, Florida, where it was unveiled at the 2001 Daytona Bike Week. In 2005, Suzuki re-branded it as the Suzuki Boulevard C50. It follows the formula of a smaller yet capable engine fitted into a frame sized for a slightly larger engine, a popular combination also in use by Honda, Kawasaki, and Yamaha in their respective cruiser lines.
The Boulevard M50, or Intruder M800 outside North America, is a V-twin engine cruiser motorcycle made by Suzuki Motor Corporation. Global model number is VZ800. It is based on the popular VL800 C50 with C standing for 'classic'. The VL800 C50 was originally named the VL800 Intruder Volusia, but the name was later shortened to Volusia. Its styling is from the first generation VZ800 Marauder. In 2005 the marketing name was again changed when Suzuki replaced the carburetors with fuel injection, with M standing for 'muscle' and 50 representing the displacement of the engine in cubic inches. Intruder M800 refers to the 800 cubic centimetre engine following the naming convention for Suzuki cruisers in markets outside North America.
The Suzuki Boulevard M109R motorcycle was introduced in 2006 as Suzuki's flagship V-Twin cruiser. In some parts of the world, it is marketed as the Suzuki Intruder M1800R.
