Intruders-Alert

Yesterday was a bitter sweet day, as I sold my 07 Suzuki S50. 35k on the odometer, very well kept. The bitter part was my son bought me the bike after his 2nd tour in Iraq. The sweet part is I needed the room in the garage as well as I bought a Honda VTX 1300 with many mods and a lot of room for my wife to ride in comfort. What's not to love about the S50? The empty spot in the garage is a sad reminder. The new buyer is very excited about his purchase and can't wait to get back on a bike after many years. I also referred him to this forum for any help. I will still stay a member here, but I still thank those who help on here. Thank you to you members of Intruders-Alert.

You are going to stay on here with a Honda! [emoji2] Guess over half us have not had a intruder in a long time? Its the people that make this place great some days and a bar room the next. Enjoy and take part in both is way to go. 1300 VTX has so many owners that are happy may you be one all so.

Wait, what? LOL The Suzuki Intruders have been the best, most reliable bikes I have owned. [emoji2]

Wish I could say that for this paperweight called Kawasaki sitting in my garage.

I think you will like that Honda. Everyone I know that has had one liked it. I looked at a VTX1800 and was considering it. I really liked it. Then I asked to take it on a test ride and was told "we don't start the bikes until you fill out paperwork to buy it" WTF? (Mountain Motorsports-Conyers, Ga)

After I left them a google review from hell their sales manager contacted me and offered to have the bike delivered to me for a test ride. I thanked him for the offer but told him I had already bought a bike. (From someone who let me hear it run and even ride it before I committed to buying it)

Anyhow, off topic, sorry. I just really did like that Honda and I am still pissed at them.

Enjoy and post some pictures.

Is that the size of bike Lan had on the purple board or was his the 1800? I've slept since then and can't remember chit.

You don't need to go anywhere...I haven't owned an Intruder since 2006.

I rode Suzuki's most of my life. I switched to a Honda VTX 1300 and LOVED THAT BIKE!!! (Then I wrecked it )

Bought a VTX 1800 after that and it was way too heavy for me.

Those VTX's are awesome, IMO. If it wasn't for my CTX and how much it fits me , I would definitely buy another VTX 1300.

***Just an FYI...the ONE issue that was widespread with the VTX's is the steering bearing. Be prepared.

Oh, and ya CAN'T leave the forum!!! [emoji2]

Neither is being crazy, but it sure as hell helps.

I resemble that remark!

I'll have you know I am not crazy. I just enjoy doing crazy things. [emoji106] [space]

If you don't own an Intruder, but you're on this board, then you are an "intruder", so that makes it OK for you to be here!!

He could be a peeking Scott. Just looking to see what he can see. [space]

Man, I don’t own an Intruder and never did, but I was invited to the purple board by Hack and this board by Yo, in both cases simply because I ride a motorcycle. Works for me.

You fit in really good! I had a Harley on the old board and still have a Harley. Am not as brand loyal as most but if I like them I tend to have one.Have had a Harley and a suzuki at same time since 1977. Harleys,Honda's and Yamaha's before that .I am just a way too many bikes guy for a lot of years .
