2011 Suzuki VLR1800 C1800R Intruder – UK Model – 2 Owners – Full Suzuki Service History – Immaculate Condition

£6,995

There are big cruisers, and then there are motorcycles that have real presence before the engine has even been started. This stunning 2011 Suzuki VLR1800 C1800R Intruder is very much the latter.

Finished with unmistakable big-capacity cruiser styling, deep chrome detailing and that huge 1,783cc V-twin heart, the C1800R is one of Suzuki’s most imposing and charismatic cruiser motorcycles. This particular example is a UK model, has had just 2 owners from new, has been garage kept throughout, and benefits from a full Suzuki service history from new.

Quite honestly, this bike is in absolutely sublime condition. With 21,326 miles, it presents more like a machine that has covered less than 5,000. It has clearly been cherished, pampered and properly maintained throughout its life. The paintwork, chrome, finishes and overall presentation are all exceptional. This is not a tired used cruiser; this is one of those rare examples that immediately tells you it has been loved.

About the Suzuki VLR1800 C1800R

The Suzuki VLR1800 C1800R, also known in some markets as the Boulevard C109R, was introduced as Suzuki’s classic-styled interpretation of its heavyweight 1800cc cruiser platform. Suzuki’s own archive describes the C109R / Intruder C1800R as “The King of Classic Cruisers”, combining traditional cruiser styling with the technology and muscle of the M109R / M1800R powerplant. It uses a fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, DOHC V-twin engine, producing a wide, effortless spread of torque for relaxed solo or two-up riding.

At the centre of the C1800R is Suzuki’s massive 1,783cc 54-degree V-twin, delivering approximately 114PS and 155Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed transmission and shaft drive. It is a motorcycle designed for effortless momentum rather than frantic revs: big torque, big comfort, big road presence.

The C1800R also brought classic cruiser design cues into a more modern package, with stretched seating, deep fenders, a tank-mounted gauge, wide front end, large chrome surfaces and a substantial 240-section rear tyre. Suzuki also equipped the model with a combined braking system using twin front discs and a rear disc, giving the bike reassuring braking control for a machine of this size and weight.

This Particular Bike

This example is, quite simply, a credit to its former keepers. It has been babied its whole life, stored correctly, serviced properly, and kept to a standard that is increasingly difficult to find.

It has covered 21,326 miles, but the condition is genuinely outstanding. The bike looks, feels and presents like a machine that has lived a very easy life. The chrome is superb, the paintwork is excellent, and the whole bike has that clean, crisp, well-cared-for appearance that sets the best examples apart.

It also comes fitted with a tasteful and highly desirable selection of extras, including:

• Aftermarket Cobra exhausts
• Premium passenger backrest
• Rear luggage rack
• Front fender rail
• Crash bars
• Highway pegs
• Mustang fuel tank bib

These additions suit the bike perfectly, enhancing both its looks and usability. The Cobra exhausts give the big V-twin the voice it deserves, while the backrest, rack, crash bars and highway pegs make it even better suited to relaxed cruising, weekend rides and longer-distance touring.

Why This Bike Stands Out

The Suzuki C1800R is a serious motorcycle. It has the kind of road presence normally associated with much more expensive heavyweight cruisers, yet it retains Suzuki’s reputation for engineering, reliability and usability.

This example stands out because of its condition, provenance and ownership history. A 2-owner UK bike with full Suzuki service history, garage-kept from new and presented in this kind of condition is not something that appears every day.

At £6,995, this represents a huge amount of motorcycle for the money. You are getting a big-capacity, shaft-drive, fuel-injected 1800cc cruiser with serious presence, premium accessories and exceptional history, all in a condition that is as close to new as you are likely to find for a 2011 machine.

Summary

A truly immaculate 2011 Suzuki VLR1800 C1800R Intruder with only 2 owners from new, 21,326 miles, full Suzuki service history, and a superb list of tasteful upgrades.

This is a beautifully kept, garage-stored, properly maintained heavyweight cruiser that looks far fresher than its mileage suggests. If you are looking for a big, comfortable, powerful and beautifully presented cruiser with genuine presence, this is one not to miss.
