Motorcycle Road Test: Suzuki Intruder 1500 LC (Motorcyclecruiser)
Model(s) covered: 1998 Suzuki VL 1500 Intruder LC
Suzuki wanted its new Intruder flagship to be "long, low and massive." It is. The 66.9-inch wheelbase is the longest in cruising, and the seat is a mere 27.6 inches off the road.

Stout 41mm fork tubes look even more imposing because of their chrome covers and the chrome fork shield behind the headlight. Beneath an oversized teardrop tank shape, the engine bulges muscularly, with wide case covers swelling below protruding side panels.
