2016
The 2016 Suzuki Intruder C 800 B.O.S.S. (Blacked Out Special Suzuki) represents a stylish iteration within the long-standing Intruder cruiser lineage. This model year brought a factory custom look to Suzuki’s mid-size cruiser offering, aiming to capture riders seeking a darker aesthetic without venturing into larger displacement machines. Positioned against rivals like the Yamaha V-Star 950 and the Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom, the C 800 B.O.S.S. provided an accessible entry into the cruiser segment with a distinct, factory-blacked-out appeal.
At its heart, the Intruder C 800 B.O.S.S. is powered by an 805.0 ccm (49.12 cubic inches) V2, four-stroke engine. This powerplant generates 52.3 HP (38.2 kW) at 6000 RPM, offering ample power for relaxed cruising. Torque figures stand at a robust 69.0 Nm (7.0 kgf-m or 50.9 ft.lbs) at a low 3200 RPM, ensuring strong pull from low revs, a characteristic highly valued in cruisers. Fuel capacity is generous at 15.50 litres (4.10 US gallons), providing a decent range between fill-ups and supporting longer rides. The engine's smooth power delivery contributes to a relaxed riding experience, prioritizing comfort over aggressive acceleration.
Riding the Intruder C 800 B.O.S.S. is characterized by its classic cruiser stance. The low-slung design is immediately apparent, complemented by a very accessible seat height of 700 mm (27.6 inches) at its lowest setting, which makes it welcoming for a wide range of riders. This low seat, combined with forward-mounted controls and wide handlebars, creates an upright and comfortable riding posture, ideal for long hauls. The V-twin rumble from the exhaust adds to the authentic cruiser feel, enhancing the overall sensory experience without being overly intrusive.
The 2016 Suzuki Intruder C 800 B.O.S.S. is designed for riders who appreciate traditional cruiser styling with a modern, darker edge. Its accessible power, comfortable ergonomics, and distinctive blacked-out components make it an appealing choice for both new riders entering the cruiser world and experienced riders seeking a mid-displacement machine for weekend rides or daily commutes. It’s a motorcycle that prioritizes style and comfort, delivering a satisfying and enjoyable cruising experience.
