If classic looks is what you're after, but you would not mind having a dash of modern bike-making DNA around, then the 2004 MY VL1500 Intruder will definitely do. Compact, with ample, generous fenders for both front and rear, a wide, comfy seat and great ergonomics, the VL1500 Intruder is the big-bore air and oil-cooled cruiser which never goes out of style.
Low and laid back, the VL1500 Intruder also arrives with pull-back bars and rider floorboards, cast wheels and a generous fuel tank with a top-mounted console. The v-twin is god for some 67 hp and 114 Nm of torque, with the maintenance-free shaft drive adding to the overall satisfaction of owning such a bike.
