Difference between the Virago and Intruder?

[Bob]

Does any one have experience of the difference between the Yamaha Virago and the Suzuki Intruder (250).Both seem pretty similar so I wondering if any one could spell out any obvious diffs between the too (and not just the price!) for me.

No experience of the Intruder, but my wife owned a 250 Virago for a couple of years... and we both loved it.

Thanks for the link Bob- makes for an interesting read- it seems like everyone who has experience of the this bike only has good things to say about it!

Yeah, sorry Mark, I told you they're for my good lady only.

But you've hit the nail on the head. Those motorcyclists with decent-sized genitals will invariably ride a cruiser. The laid-back, feet-forward position allows for greater comfort for those more fortunately endowed bikers.

While the sport-bike riders mince around in skin-tight rubber trousers, they will often eventually see the attraction of cruisers - when their voices finally break, and their testicles drop from behind their ears...

I swear that all of the above MUST BE TRUE... hahahhaha no seriously... now I know why real men ride cruisers... ha

Ezi... ya just have to get on both bikes or 3 or whatever yr looking at and you will know... I wanted a intruder, but in the end practical won.... weight & width.... so take in your body size... and think about it...

I ended up opting for the VL250 as the price and feel was right.
It got delivered about an hour ago and Im just back from my first ride- I seriously cannot stop grinning! Is this just a phase Im going through?
