Anyone know much about these? might be doing a swap for my FJ1200.
Suzuki vx800
- Thread starter ELIMINATOR
- Start date
Proff knows a bit. 
i've looked at a few - like the 'idea' of one coz they seem well thought out, torquey, shaft drive, fairly modest in looks and power - but useful too.
i.e; low insurance and running costs.
not much of a 'fan base' online and most of that is U.S based.
basicallly an 800 'Intruder' without all the tarts handbag accoutrements.
i'd like one to replace my Airhead.
keep us posted.

Rode it today.Asked my aquaintance if there was enough petrol in it, should be he replied. Ran out just as I was about to go on to the M3. Faffed about with the fuel tap, not much happening, battery was beginning to struggle to turn it over
Put the fuel tap back to the on position, it started
Decided to go back the non Motorway route. Bloody packed up again, and left me in the middle of a roundabout, switched to reserve again. Eventually started, went home.
The after market silencers were "held on" by oversize rubber lined clamps, he did point this out to me beforehand. But, even for £500, it was a bit shabby looking,(50,000 miles on the clock) The aftermarket silencers were showing a shade of blue where I guess the internal baffles were, so perhaps it's not set up right either. the gear lever was set so high, it was a pain literally for me to use.Yes, I know I could adjust it easy, but, I decided it was not for me. Shame, as I had hoped I would have liked it.
