Suzuki is thinking about and exploring ways to bring in their well equipped, top-of-the-line scooter, the Intruder M1880R Executive ABS. Still in the stages of surveying the market, Suzuki has imported this particular scooter for market feedback from prospective customers, and we’ve just managed to take a ride on the gentle giant.

The Intruder scooter makes quite an impressive looker. It has a long, swooping profile when looked at from the side, and a muscular, yet not overwhelming profile when seen from ahead. The Intruder has twin headlamps mounted on a smartly turned out apron. Mounted above these is an electrically adjustable windscreen, which provides excellent wind and rain protection. The rear view mirrors integrate turn signal indicators, and are electrically operated as well on this premium scooter.

Behind the windscreen sits a broad instrument console, part digital and part analogue, with the speedometer and tachometer read via needles, while other information such as fuel level, ambient temperature, time and temperature readings are displayed via an LCD panel. Mounted on the shrouded handlebars are the scooter’s control buttons, which have a meaty feel to them, and work with good feel.
