2012 Intruder M1800RZ

Gorgeous styling and V-Twin power with close to 900cc per cylinder, sets the pace for this stunning performance cruiser. Not unexpectedly, the V-Twin engine produces effortless power and torque from near zero revs to impress those who love the performance to match the sheer style of this form of fun motorcycling. Low down power, blistering acceleration and open road cruising with a sporting feel are all part of the magic formula.

The double overhead camshaft fuel injected engine with four valves per cylinder and two massive 112mm pistons produces 160 Newton metres of torque at just 3,200 rpm and is regarded as a technical achievement. With a silkily smooth five-speed transmission, shaft final drive and an outstanding chassis and running gear, it sets the standard for the genre.

A stiff mainframe with progressive rear suspension, robust and plush GSX-R derived upside down front forks and big disc brakes allied to race developed radial calipers provide outstanding stability, ride comfort and braking power. With style to match the performance - the beautifully sculpted headlight cowl, fuel tank, seat and the twin chrome exhausts exiting on the right completes the impressive specification.
