When the sungoes down and the lights come up, thepulse of Saturday night is the beat of a45-degree twin. Suzuki’s 1400 Intrudermakes the right noise and fits the signal-corp dress code . .. which is chrome-plate in 3D depth. I see you, you see meand how do you like me so far? The In-truder’s glittering 83-cubic-inch chuffermay be made in Japan, but its heartbeats for Main Street, U.S.A.Things weren’t always this pretty. Inthe late 1970s and early 1980s, Suzukihad an array of four-cylinder cruisersthat got lost on a collection of dead-endside streets. The Low Slinger and Madu-ras were tragically ugly, and their salesfigures looked like they had been part ofthe same terrible accident. The home of-fice in Hamamatsu read the message.Next time, Suzuki took its cue fromAmerican designers who understoodboulevard chic, and the 700 Intrudertopped Suzuki’s sales charts in 1985and 1986. Having learned the directions,Suzuki took a fast right turn onto MainStreet.Polish the glitter-plateand turn up the rumbleknob, thank you. We’reoff to Main Street to lookreal bad. Which is alsothe look of success.Which explains whySuzuki won’t tamperwith the 1400 Intruder... And much more! 11651 RL- 11652-11656
