What is this thing?
My older brother lives in FL. I live in PA.
He lives on a shoe-string budget but loves bikes.
He just sent me this pic of his new ride.
My 1st thought was WTF is it?
Before I comment (in an encouraging manner) I thought it would be fun to throw it up to the experts........
So what is it? What mods have been done? It is obviously been painted right?
Is that really an HD sticker on it?
Go!

Hard to tell because the rice manufacturers are so ashamed of the pitiful, pathetic cruisers they make, they don't put the brand name anywhere on them...just the MODEL designation.
But, if it ain't a Harley--then who cares WHAT it is?
BTW my cousins used to live in Lake Ariel, right near Landis Marina.

Ok boys settle down....Although I agree with everything you said that's not what I'm looking for.
Year, Make and Model would be good for starters.
Hey- my bro is a semi-employed plumber when he's not smoked up so give him a break! This was the best he could do and I'm happy for him.
I just want to blow his mind by writing him back naming EXACTLY what it is and what mods have been done to it.
Hey Dicky- Cool on the Cuz thing. Love the area. Transplanted here as it's the wife's locality.

I am fairly confident it is a Suzuki intruder. If you look at the link I posted and check the pics out side by side the lines look the same to me. No idea on year or mods.there is probably a Suzuki forum somewhere that could tell you more.

Diesel- You nailed it. I checked the shots.
We are getting somewhere.
It is Def a Suzuki Intruder c800.
Custom (questionable) Paint.
YEAR? Intake? Handlebars?
That would be enough to make him say....woah, he's good.

I believe It is...
If it's a carb bike it's a Suzuki VL 800
If it is an FI Bike it is a Suzuki Boulevard C50
I had a VL 800 as my first bike. people always thought it was a Harley....But then I got a real Harley!!
