The series of cruisers '''Suzuki Intruder 1500''' begins its history in 1998, when the model [[Suzuki_VL1500_Intruder_ (Boulevard_C90) | Suzuki VL1500 Intruder LC]] was introduced to the market as the main competitor [[Kawasaki_VN1500_Vulcan | Kawasaki] VN 1500 , which at that time had been on sale for 2 years. Since 2005, the Intruder line has been split into Boulevard (for the American market) and Intruder (for the European market).

'''Lineup: '''
* [[Suzuki_VS400_Intruder | Suzuki VS400 Intruder]]
* [[Suzuki_Intruder_1800 | Suzuki Intruder 1800]]
Since 2009, muscle modifications of the Suzuki VZ1500 Intruder motorcycle have been added to the lineup - they no longer looked like classic cruisers, but were drag-style motorcycles. The main reason for their appearance was the desire of Suzuki to offer the market a cheaper and lighter version, as much as possible similar to the flagship [[Suzuki_Boulevard_M109R_ (Intruder_M1800R) | Boulevard M109R (M1800R)]]. So the following models appeared on the market, which can also be attributed to the Intruder 1500 class:* [[Suzuki_VZ1500_Intruder_ (Boulevard_M90) | Suzuki Boulevard M90]] - USA* [[Suzuki_VZ1500_Intruder_ (Boulevard_M90) | Suzuki Intruder M1500 (VZ1500)]] - Europe
The Suzuki Intruder 1500 series is based on a 2-cylinder V-twin air-oil cooled engine with a volume of 1462 cc, producing 67 hp. power and 115 Nm of torque. Despite the seemingly the same engine on all models of the Intruder 1500 line, it is not and was significantly different on each of the models presented. In particular, the Suzuki Boulevard C90 (Intruder C1500) engine differs from the Suzuki VL1500 Intruder LC engine by the presence of electronic fuel injection, the Boulevard M90 (Intruder M1500) engines differ from the Boulevard C90 (Intruder C1500) engines by the camber angle (54 degrees versus 45), liquid cooling, 4-valve cylinder head (instead of 3-valve), inclined valve seat and intake valve diameter, compression ratio (9.5 versus 8.5), valve cover design (on the M90 they are made separately from the camshaft cover), cylinder surface treatment ( on the M90 - SCEM technology), the injection system (on the M90 - double injectors 42 mm, on the C90 - single 36 mm), gear ratios (longer gears on the M90). These changes have significantly increased the maximum power and torque of the Boulevard M90 (Intruder M1500) motorcycles - up to 106 hp. and 136 Nm.
