2008 Suzuki Intruder M800

Before 2005 VZ800 was the model number for the Marauder 800 which was a significantly different model). It is based on the popular VL800 C50 with C standing for 'classic'. The marketing name was again changed when Suzuki replaced the carburetors with fuel injection, with M standing for 'muscle' and 50 representing the displacement of the engine in cubic inches. Intruder M800 refers to the 800 cubic centimetre engine following the naming convention for Suzuki cruisers…

The M50 was given a major redesign. The M50 motor was discontinued, and the current model M50 now uses the same motor as the C50, consolidating production and simplifying parts sourcing.
