The Suzuki Boulevard S83 [1] is a motorcycle manufactured by Suzuki and renamed in 2005 from Intruder 1400 to S83 to indicate the 83 cubic inches of the engine. It features a 1360 cc v-twin engine. It was formerly named the Intruder VS1400 and was introduced in 1987. In 1998, the Intruder 1400 went from a 4-speed transmission to a 5-speed transmission, and that carried over through the S83 years (2005 - 2009) Like the Intruder, the S83 retained the model designation VS1400. The 1360cc V-twin engine produced 72 horsepower at 4,800 rpm and 85 lb-ft (115 Nm) of torque at 5,000 rpm. Both of those numbers are quite impressive in comparison to similar sized bikes of the time. Like the Intruder before it, the S83 had dual carbs that were connected by a sync rod. in 2005, the two colors available were black or gray. in 2006, the two colors available were black or gray. in 2007, the two colors available were black or Dark Blue. in 2008, the two colors available were black or gold. in 2009, the two colors available were black or gray. The final year of production for the S83 was in 2009.
