VS750 Intruder Vs VT750 Shadow

[Pex Adams]

I'm interested in getting opinions on peoples thoughts and views on these bikes, even other options out there in the market. I'm looking for a really good value for money cruiser, reliable, a pretty much bullet proof!

My partner is looking at an upgrade from her Ginny, and likes the VS750. I noticed the Shadow over the weekend. Which looks as though its a similar style machine. However I suspect thats only skin deep.

Also if you are thinking of selling something, live rather local, give me a PM. I would like to look at all options.

There is that VT750 near where we work. That is a nice looking cruiser.

But why fuck around? Just get a gixxer.

I like the VT750 Shadow myself having just purchased one two weeks ago. Awesome weight for a little person, lots of pep, lovely low seat for short legs (he he). I have the pearl white paint job, and its an looker, even the old geezers stop and listen to her going past.

Shadow, you know you want it

They both have a single disk up front and a rear drum.
Is it enough braking power for a 750 Shazz?

2006/2007 Suzuki Boulevard M50 (800cc) a few of you lot on here seem to buy bikes so that other people will look at you riding it. Personally I bought the bikes for me.

For a bit more cash than someone looking at buying a Shadow or Intruder would be willing to spend in my opinion.

Some buy bikes on price aswell you know.

Sounds like my partner isn't the only one who likes a low seat. From the looks of things people know about the shadow, but nothing on the Intruder.

Thats interesting.... I suppose the intruders just are that bit too old.

Brother-in-Law had 750 Intruder and loved it. I rode it and liked it a lot! I'm sure Warkworth M/cycles has a new 800 version on the floor at the mo. Not the M50. Having said that, everyone who's had or got the Shadow reckons they're the "bees knees", (wonder where that saying came from?).

Go for the Suzuki VL800, bloody beautiful bike, great to ride, easy to handle, if you can find one buy it, you won't regret it....

Oi, Oi!!!! I wuz born der! My son wuz born der and da Dr. who attended my birth attended the birth o' my eldest daughter, too!

I saw ol' Doc Andrew the other day, wuz amazed he waz still alive! His car wuz a bit battered though, so he's a typical "aged driver"!


Not happy they tore down da old Maternity Hosp. though. THe new one's good, as my eldest transferred there from North Shore Hosp. when our grandson was born and they were real nice.

And you're not the least bit biast lol. Shame I didn't get to see it again last time I was up that way.

I have owned a couple of intruders, loved them, super reliable and handle better than you would expect. Personally found them better than the shadow by a noticeable amount.
Good luck
