The VL1500 is a massive custom-styled cruiser. Dominated
by a huge air-cooled V-twin engine, the Intruder is designed for relaxed
highway cruising and round-town posing. The engine, with a maximum torque
figure of 84ft lb at 2300rpm, is the epitome of the large-capacity,
slow-rewing engine, although a six-valve design and a front-mounted
oil-cooler lend a degree of sophistication. Unusually, the Intruder uses a
four-speed gearbox: the broad spread of torque makes more ratios
superfluous. Drive to the wide 180-section rear tyre is by clean,
maintenance-free shaft drive, and a hidden rear suspension system gives the
Intruder the styling of a 'hardtail' custom bike.
