Much more of an Intruder

I still think "Intruder" is a bloody stupid name for a bike. I always imagine a rubber fist when I hear that word....... mind you, i'm currently riding the "Gladius" just as bloody stupid

"Intruder" was an improvement on "Marauder":

marauder
someone who attacks in search of booty

"intruder" a rubber sex toy popular in prisons and Eton college

but, seriously..... I rode a VL 250 for quite a while on my learners and restricted and thought the VL800 was, and is ! an excellent bike.

You musta seen my yellow rebel at some point or another..

I managed to scrape both foot pegs off completely. Still rideable >_>

Of course. Your Rebel's peg scraping was legendary!
Wearing away at the pegs is another way to make them scrape less often I suppose...

Might say more about you than the bike then eh?..

Most bikes have somewhat creative names though..

All in jest

Besides, I always thought the name was funny too (Might be why I like it

). And I was gonna say if you don't like 'Intruder' then go with "VL250 (800, 1500, whatever).
