Also it won't break the bank. Read Full Review

Vulcan 900 classic

has all the power I need Read Full Review

I've ridden my Vulcan 900 Classic (now Dressed) for 3 years - Love it!

I was a "late bloomer" into motorcycle riding (now almost 57). I wanted an entry level bike that I would be easy for me to ride but one I would not get tired of and want to trade in after 6 months (in 2006). I found it in the Kawasaki 903cc Classic (which I then fulled dressed after gett...ing the color I wanted). I cannot express how happy I am with my choice. I researched all mid-weight Crusiers for about 10 months before pulling the trigger. No problem with size and weight ... no problems with the bike over 2.5 years and 14,000 miles ... no problem with 2-up ... fun to ride ... easy to take care of ... great power for a mid-weight. I only feel the need for a little bigger engine when I get up to and past 65 mph (I can tell it's working hard), but even then, it performs very well. And I'm usually on back roads where those speeds are not usually warranted. It's a great bike to begin on ... it's great bike to keep. Even the mechanics at my PowerSports Dealer express to me what a great bike this is ... among all that are available on the market. And it was and still is very economical ... I am paying less than $200/month (over 4 years on an $8,000 loan). I weigh about 200 pounds ... 5'9" ... the seat height and feel of the bike, fit me to a "T" ... it's like it was made with me in mind. I keep looking at other bikes (as most of us do) and I've taken Test Rides on other Cruisers, 1300cc and larger. I don't see a bike a like as much until I get to 1600cc or more ... and then the costs to purchase reach double or more than my 900. I lucked out with my decision to buy this bike! Read Full Review
