2012 - 2016 Suzuki VL 250LC INTRUDER
The bike is quite grabby in first and second gear making a smooth ride difficult at low speeds. Things smooth out as the bike gets going though and speeds in excess of 130km/h are possible without too about 8% higher than the actual speed, a common complaint by many motorcycle owners. I also found that the location of the speedo meant taking my eyes off the road to have a glance.
