Kawasaki 900 Classic LT 2007

I got my 900 last February after test riding one at the IMC show in Greenville, SC. We ride a lot in the summer and didn't bother to winterize this past year.



Overall, this machine is adequate for most local riding (and by 'local', I mean a couple hundred miles a day) but I dunno about a cross c...ountry tour. On the open highway, I find myself wishing it had a 6th gear because it seems like it just oughta have one. I understand there are "overdrive pulleys" that change the gearing ratio, thus giving you lower rpms at the higher speeds. I don't have one of these, nor do I know anyone who does, so I can't speak with any authority on them.

The stock Kawasaki seat was a real butt-killer after a hundred or so miles so I replaced it with a Mustang with a backrest; marvelous investment for an old guy with a tired back!!

The stock Kawasaki horns are a bad joke. The chance of one of these getting anyone's attention is pretty slim if someone with the windows rolled up and the stereo blasting tries to change lanes over the top of you. I've replaced mine with the Stebel air horn. This has saved us on more than one occasion when we've had to blast another driver back into 'conscious awareness' that, indeed, there ARE other people on the road with them.

Aside from the above mentioned issues, the 900 is great mid-size bike and we enjoy it very much. We'll be spending a lot of time on it this summer!

Vulcan 900 classic

I purchased my Vulcan in the spring of 2008 from a dealership in London. I haven't had a bike since the early 80's (I had a 1979 Knigt Hawk)and was really excited with my new cruiser. I have enjoyed 1000's of kms riding all over south western ontario. I even made it to friday the 13th in Dover &q...uot;What a rush" My Vulcan has a windsheild, saddle bags, highway pegs, drivers back rest and it a true pleasure to ride for hours. Read Full Review
