Suzuki VL 1500 Intruder

On the dyno we lined up the Intruder against a slightly modified 1600 Yamaha to gauge the relative engine performance. The Yamaha is said and done before 4,500 rpm while the Intruder pulls quite happily to 6,000 rpm. We didn’t hit the rev-limiter but we weren’t really game to push the big twin much further. We had it doing over 200 kph on the dyno with a gear to go.
