Suzuki VS400 Intruder was first introduced in 1994 based on the older version Suzuki VS800 Intruder. The motorcycle was produced for only about 3 years, after which it came off the assembly line.

Meanwhile, at present, the Intruder 400 is a fairly popular motorcycle in Russia among novice motorcyclists, mainly due to its low price.
The model was based on a V-shaped 2-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a volume of about 400 cubic meters. see, issuing standard 33 hp. power and 32 Nm of torque. This engine was installed practically unchanged on modern models Suzuki Boulevard 400 and Suzuki VL400 Intruder Classic.
The Suzuki VS400 Intruder features a classic steel frame, simple suspension in the form of a telescopic fork in the front and a double shock absorber in the rear, a cardan drive, a rear drum brake and a 12-liter fuel tank.
