Some say that the 2002 MY VL1500 Intruder LC is underpowered with its 67 hp, but the 114 Nm maximum torque its air-oil-cooled engine makes it a very fun-to-ride big-bore cruiser. And after all, power is definitely not the main thing about these bikes, while styling and character are, and in this respect, the VL1500 Intruder LC is not lacking either of them.

Low and lean, the 2002 MY VL1500 Intruder LC offers a laid back riding position thanks to plush seats for both rider and passenger, rider floorboards and a classic heel-toe shifter, ample handlebars and deeply-valanced fenders. The cast wheels are a nifty modern complement to the teardrop fuel tank and all the chromed-out parts.
