Honda wasn't without competition with their GoldWing bikes. Yamaha had its Venture, Kawasaki the Voyager, Suzuki
had the Cavalcade. It was the most powerful option of the big touring cycles in the late 80's. The LXE version weighed
395 kg with a full tank and perhaps needed all the 112 hp the 1400cc V-4 engine could deliver.
There were only about 9,000 bikes made (some say 8,500) between 1985 and 1990 and only 67 of them found their
way to Sweden (Norway 77, Canada 700, Belgium 120, Finland 10, Holland 10, USA about 7,500). The model was
never sold in it's home country, due regulations that prohibited selling bikes over 750cc in Japan.
In other words, Suzuki Cavalcade is a rare bike compared to Honda GoldWing, making it hard to find some spare parts. A good thing is
that it's a tough bike and like the GoldWing it's made to last "forever". The engine is very well built and I've been told that it should hold for
at least 200,000 km /125,000 miles, twice as long if you treat it right.
When you do need parts, you may find help from the Cavalcade Clubs in your country.
