Intruder 800 and 1400

[Craig Goldstein]

So far the best I could find was a '82 Honda Shadow V-Twin Liquid cooled.
This web site has some great historical facts:

Hmmm......First water cooled V-twin..........This may require some research.

As I see it, they combined the Harley v-twin and small tank, with the
British dual exhaust and skinny wheels, and included the German driveshaft.
Result = chopper, low saddle, 50 hp, and distictive look with the high open
frame, and possibly the first watercooled v-twin.
