Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2011 Boom Trikes Intruder 1800, a standout in the custom-cruiser segment that merges the thrill of motorcycle riding with the stability and comfort of a trike. Tailored for enthusiasts who crave a unique blend of performance and style, the Intruder 1800 is designed to make a statement on both the open road and in the parking lot. With its remarkable engineering and striking aesthetics, this German moto-trike not only captures attention but also caters to riders looking for an exhilarating yet accessible experience. The Intruder 1800 is suitable for those with a car license, making it an enticing option for riders making the transition from two wheels to three. At the heart of the Intruder 1800 lies a powerful 1783cc V2, four-stroke engine that delivers a robust 103.26 horsepower at 5200 RPM and a torque of 155 Nm at 3500 RPM. This potent engine propels the trike to a top speed of 175 km/h (108.7 mph), ensuring an exhilarating ride whether you're cruising down the highway or navigating through city streets. The liquid-cooled engine pairs with a smooth 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive, allowing seamless power delivery and a confident handling experience. The unique suspension setup—featuring an original fork with BOOM fork yokes and an independent rear suspension—ensures a smooth ride, absorbing bumps and imperfections in the road while providing stability that is crucial for a three-wheeled motorcycle. The Intruder 1800 doesn’t skimp on features, boasting a robust braking system with double discs at both the front and rear, ensuring reliable stopping power. The trike's impressive dimensions—length of 2,510 mm and a width of 1,505 mm—offer a commanding presence, while the 37-liter fuel capacity means fewer stops on long journeys. The sleek, glossy black finish adds to its allure, making it a head-turner wherever it goes. With an electric starter and efficient PGM-FI fuel injection system, starting up is as effortless as it is enjoyable. Riders can also appreciate the thoughtful design that includes an ample ground clearance of 160 mm, allowing for agile maneuverability without sacrificing comfort. **
