Suzuki VL250 Intruder - "Black Beauty"

by Ashley
(Sydney, Australia)

I picked up my very first motorcycle on Saturday and am bursting with pride. She’s a little Suzuki VL 250 Intruder and she’s perfect for me. She handles like a dream, is light, and though she’s only a 250 she handles two-up perfectly, makes me smile when she accelerates and looks HOT! I’ve named her “Black Beauty” not only for her color but because I used to ride horses and she’s my new trusty steed!

The only customization I have done so far is the bag-rack (and grab-rail which is on back-order). I also plan to add a screen and, when I can legally ride two-up, a sissy-bar.

She’s currently garaged with my boyfriend’s Kawasaki ZX-9 (“The Wasp”) and once I’ve found my confidence, the plan is for the lot of us to hit the road and travel Australia!

We’re still getting to know one-another but I know we are going to be awesome partners-in-crime ;)
