When did the Suzuki VX800 go out of production?
The Suzuki VX800 is an interesting cult bike that was discontinued in the US after 3 years after disappointing sales, though the European market saw production run from 1990-1997.
Can a Suzuki VX800 be replaced with a Koni shock?
Replaced rear shock unit with a IKON (a licensed KONI shock made in Australia) unit at 50,000km. Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes
What kind of steering geometry does Suzuki VX800 have?
The bike has a stable steering geometry, but it can take on twisties at respectable pace. I replaced the front wheel with a 17 inch wheel from a GSX-R250 (bolts on without any mods), which makes the handling more quicker, but with the smaller wheel, the bike stands with less lean on the side stand, which can make it less stable on canted grounds.

Is the Suzuki VX 800 Highlander factory custom?
And it’s every inch as nice as the GS500. The immediate handicap for the V-twin VX800 is that it’s based on the VS750 Intruder factory custom and seeing as that was as boring as death we’ll get through this technical malarky as quickly as poss to prevent y’all falling asleep.
How big is the fuel tank on a Suzuki VX 800?
In simple speak, a 3mm overbore takes the VX up to 805cc with carb sizes up from 34 to 36mm to match. The front downdraft Mikuni uses a fuel pump to draw juice from the low slung tank while at the butt-end the two-into-two zorsts are linked by a balance pipe just forward of the twin concave cone-type silencers.
What’s the average speed of a Suzuki VX?
The VX would cruise happily enough at 85/90, but doing that for more than 45 minutes slowly tensed up every nerve and sinew in my arms and neck. Off the motorway, however, whether in town or out, the VX was a fresh, bubbly evocation of almost everything biking. If I’d been on a cruiser the straights would have been a pose and the twisties a pain.
