    I bought this bike one year ago with 8000 original miles on it. It is by far the best street bike I have ever owned. I bought a brand new Electraglide in 2005 and owned it for 5 years. This bike is better in every way.

    I recently bought an 04 Vulcan Classic 1600 with windshield, saddlebags, and lots of chrome. Paid 5500.00 for it. Had 6400 miles on it. What an awesome bike. I love it. My wife likes it, all I need now is a sissy bar so she can lean back without losing her. Has a lot of power and very reliable.

  • Awesome bike!
    By  (I am an Owner) on Feb 15, 2009

Finally, there's a wide variety of accessories available which was not true for years. My wife loves the bike as well. We might've liked a Road King, ...
