Colorado road test.

I have owned my Vulcan for a little over a year now. This is my 5th street bike and I continue to be impressed by how smooth this bike is to ride. The bike now has 7,000 trouble free miles. The highlight of the last year was a 1500 mile ride with my son on his first streetbike. On this trip, we rode... through everything, sunshine rain and even snow. This Kawaski handles all of the conditions very well. The power of the Vulcan engine performed very well as we climbed several of Colorado's passes with full saddle bags and never lacked in power or comfort. I have loaded the bike with several accesories including heated custom seat, saddle bags and windscreen. Everytime a friend wants to swap bikes, they come away from my bike impressed with how smooth and easy this bike handles. I don't see me shopping for a replacment for this bike anytime in the near future because of how impressed I've been with how much bike I got for the money. Read Full Review

I own two

I have two Vulcan's I have the Vulcan 900 Classic and the 900 Custom.

I have done many mods on the bikes the classic has Vance and Hines lots of chrome windshield, bags. This bike is my wifes she has put in one summer around 8500 miles on it loves it we ride everywhere lots of miles she never has... complained being tired says it is perfect. the bike looks good and rides like a champ as i found out when i took it out one Saturday for a ride. You simply can't go wrong.

I also have a 07 Custom 900 that i have many many mods on COBRA dragsters, sounds awesome i lowered 2 inches in the back gave it a more mean look i did have the seat gel filled. i have the power processor onit i will tell you it will fly, Ask the guys that ride with me, I have rode a lot of bikes but i love these bikes the only thing about either of them is i keep looking for 6 gear though scoot works makes a pully that does well for that. These two bikes turn heads no matter were we go no matter if it is a harley gathering or just crusing down the interstate I love the way it handles I bought this custom last year I have put 16000,00 miles on it in less than a year i don't walk to the garage and look at it i ride no matter what. The fat back tire gives it a great stand you just can't go wrong. Read Full Review

My first bike too!...

I picked my bike up on e-bay at a steal! it's my first bike after taking the NJ Riders Ed course back in June. It came not even fully broken in > 700 miles and warranteed til 2012!. I've been on back roads and hit the highway for the first time less than a week ago. The bike rides smooth and s...table, turning is a charm, reminds me of the bicycle riding I did as a kid on my paper route. I haven't gone over 60 with it yet, I want to finish out the break in period.
I'm happy, this is my dream bike as a beginner at 46 yrs and 350lbs and I could never thought it would be so easy to master!. Read Full Review

First Bike- Love It

This is my first motorcycle, and I bought the 900 classic new after taking the MSF basic course. I have had a blast on it (currently about 3500 miles). The bike is easy to ride. I stay comfortable on the seat for about 45 minutes and then start looking for a pit stop, but I've done 110 miles without... stopping without too much trouble. Best of all, I'm getting about 52 mpg on it, so I'm saving money on gas.

There are a few very minor complaints. First, there is some belt whine (noise from the drive belt), but it's not very loud. Second, I had a small leak from the coolant hose heading into the front cylinder. The dealer fixed it (under warranty or course) and cleaned up the leaked coolant.

When I was looking for bikes, I almost got swept up in the marketing of the larger cruisers. The 900 has been plenty powerful (although I haven't done any two-up riding). I've never lacked for power on the interstate, and I've gone from 55 to 80 easily when passing on two lane roads. All in all, I think this was a great choice for me, and I would make it again.
