Intruder Classic 400 (399cc) Owner: Kakitan

The SUZUKI Intruder Classic 400 is an American-style cruiser model that debuted in 2001. Developed as a derivative of the Intruder series, it aimed to balance a classic style with a comfortable ride. It features a styling that gives it the presence of a larger model, and its design particularly emphasizes comfort during long cruises.

This Intruder Classic 400, nicknamed "Aikata" (partner), is a unique model that the owner, Kakitan, mistakenly believed was a larger model when purchasing it. However, contrary to its appearance, it's actually an easy-to-handle mid-sized motorcycle. Kakitan enjoys solo touring on local roads, taking advantage of this bike's ability to "be mistaken for a large model." The owner's humorous episode seems to deepen their affection for this motorcycle.

■ Reason for Purchase, Usage, and Comparison Models

I intended to buy a DragStar 400, but I mistook this for a larger model and ended up buying it when the salesperson told me it was mid-sized.

■ Strengths and Satisfactions

It looks like a large motorcycle.

■ Weaknesses and Dissatisfactions

Honestly, it's slow, but it's fun for solo rides on local roads.

■ Advice for Potential Buyers

I don't recommend installing a quick shifter, as it often leads to false neutrals.

■ Future Customization Plans

I want to make it look like a Harley Low Rider...
