About the Suzuki VL 1500
The Suzuki VL1500 Intruder LC is a heavyweight American-style cruiser introduced by Suzuki in 1998. It is powered by a liquid-cooled 1462 cc 45-degree V-twin with a low rev character delivering strong torque. In Europe it is sold as the Intruder LC; in North America as the Boulevard C90. The model is defined by its classic chopper silhouette, low seating position, generous front end and chrome accents. Production ran from 1998 to around 2014.
The VL1500 is a natural long-distance cruiser for riders seeking the comfortable, relaxed character of a large V-twin. The low seat height makes it accessible to shorter-legged riders. The weight of over 300 kg demands experience at low-speed manoeuvres. It competes with the Honda VTX1800 and Yamaha XVS1300. A popular choice as a daily tourer for fans of the American-style segment.

What to check before buying
- Check the V-twin for oil leaks around the cylinder head gaskets; a known concern at higher mileages.
- Inspect the drive belt condition for wear and cracking; replacement is costly and lifespan varies significantly with riding style.
- Check carburettors for blockages or diaphragm deterioration; common on examples that have stood unused for extended periods.
- The 314 kg weight makes tip-overs at low speed and parking a real risk; check the frame and bodywork for damage.
- Check chrome parts for rust and pitting; especially on examples stored outdoors.
