Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 2000, 2001
The 2001 MY VL1500 Intruder LC is all one needs when it comes to a classic cruiser which also embeds modern technology. Long, massive, low and showing off retro design elements such as the deeply valanced fenders and cast wheels, the VL1500 Intruder LC also offers good long-range comfort with its plus seats and rider floorboards.
Its heart is an 1462cc air and oil-cooled, carbureted v-twin which can deliver 67 hp and a most useful 114 Nm torque almost right off idle. The adjustable rear monoshock ensures a comfy ride both solo or two-up, and optional accessories can add more personal character.
