Overview
The classic air/oil-cooled 1360cc v-twin packs plenty of punch to make the VS1400 Intruder fun to ride, solo and two-up, while the shaft final drive eliminates much of the overall maintenance fuss. Compact, yet offering a comfy ride, this is a chopper worth considering when it's time to go for a new bike.
Classic down to the bone, the VS1400 Intruder is a lower-big-bore chopper with tons of character, wire spoked wheels,a slash-but shorty silencer, a teardrop tank neatly complementing the raked-out front and yoke-mounted instruments. Neatly padded seats for both rider and passenger, a miniature backrest for the latter, a teardrop tank, raked-out forks, skinny front wheel with laced rims and a shorty exhaust are all on the list to stress out its retro heritage.
