Got my VL 125 Intruder three weeks ago. I live in a remote place with demanding roads and the Intruder is well up to it. Been off biking for many years so this is like a first bike and it fills you with confidence because the handling is so good. It looks the business and sounds like a bike should, nice and thumpy. Storage space under the seat is handy. Cruises easy around 50, so not a boy racer machine. I´m a lady biker 5´ 4" and can handle this with ease. You just want to be out on this machine all the time because it´s way more than just transport, it´s fun.
