Bike review: “Even at first glance, the Volusia pleases the senses, luring you in for a closer look with a full set of curves, an oversized fuel tank and a dished leather saddle that belies its middleweight displacement and impression many of our Daytona biker brethren echoed when informed it was only 800cc. The Volusia is clearly positioned to appeal to the currently fat fashion in cruisers, leaving the Marauder and Intruder to cover the sportier, more custom end of the scale. The Volusia Intruder is powered by the same tried-and-true 805cc 45-degree V-twin motivating the standard 800 Intruder. And although the engine boasts an identical 83.0 x 74.4mm bore and stroke, Suzuki has pumped up the Volusia powerplant's torque and low rpm power with a heavier generator rotor, and reversed the position of the rear cylinder head to adapt to the modified cradle frame. Styling variations also forced changes to the cylinder cooling fins, and cylinder head intakes for both jugs on the Volusia's V-twin are now positioned to breathe through a single, 34mm carburetor instead of the original's dual carb arrangement. Each of the two cylinders carries a single overhead shaft operating four valves, with a single spark plug positioned in the combustion chamber. And the VL800 also has liquid-cooling and a five-speed, wide-ratio transmission delivering power to the rear wheel via shaft final drive, like its cousin. On the Volusia, its shaft drive is cleverly hidden with a judicious use of black paint, for a camouflage effect. Retro cruiser styling abounds, with a wide, sculpted fuel tank, deeply valanced fenders, spoked wheels and a staggered dual exhaust emphasizing traditional lines. The Volusia's low 27.6-inch seat height mimics other Suzuki 800s, and the leather-grain embossed saddle is wide enough to offer comfort and ample support over the miles without overshadowing the tank or fenders with overstuffed bulk. The rear pillion rides over the fender and appears sufficiently padded to serve as a comfortable perch, although we never did get the chance to solicit a passenger for a backseat impression. In a nod to convertibility, the rear pad can be removed from the fender for a solo seat look. The Volusia's 33-degree rake contributes to a long 64.7-inch wheelbase, which rests on polished wire-spoke wheels. Fat tube-type tires, a 16-incher up front and a 15-incher in the back, connate a stately, well anchored stance. We have to give a huge thumbs up to the copious 4.5 gallon fuel tank, this cargo-size hold is usually found on bikes twice the size of the Volusia. Tooling 'round town on the boulevard, though, is what this low, wide cruiser aspires to do, and we found ourselves looking forward to every jaunt. The immediate ride quality is that of a bigger bike, with easy but slower steering, softer suspension, and a relaxed, throaty lope. Except for necessary choke prodding during early morning starts, the bike performed flawlessly; we even took it through a quick dash in the rain, where the Volusia's long wheelbase proved a solid stabilizing force. The broad, slightly pulled back handlebar, low seat and forward pegs offered an amiable riding position and we found it easy to lever around low speed turns. A wide, flat powerband gave us good throttle response, even at low rpm. Passing slower autos uphill usually required a quick trip to the gear shifter, but any acceleration off the line left traffic behind without fuss. The backbone of the VL800 is a narrow double cradle steel frame designed to conceal its progressive rear suspension, resulting in the currently de rigueur hardtail look. The single, coil-spring rear shock hidden underneath the seat soaks up small bumps without complaint, but we found the harder-edged stuff wasn't as easily dispelled. The spring preload is adjustable and lets you dial-in your settings without much effort. The Volusia's 11.8-inch front disc brake performed its job adequately in most situations, without standing the bike up in corners. “
