2007 Kawasaki Vulcan
By (I am a Writer) on Sep 04, 2017My life has always been full and on the go but I'm finally settling down and wanted to buy myself my first bike, Didn't want to break the bank on a brand new bike and a Harley would of been nice but when I sat on the 900 Vulcan it just felt right. Looks great, rides smooth, more than enough power, ... and multifaceted; you can't go wrong. The bike I bought was second hand and had a few after market parts on it with just over 50,000 miles, it still runs like a dream. I never wanted to go through the sport bike phase b/c it was just an accident waiting to happen. This cruiser has an anatomically aligned seating position that does not put discomfort on the rider. Will probably be putting a couple more mods on the 900 and use it to get me through the LA traffic; the engine growl definitely lets cars know you're there. Highly recommend motorcycle, glad I purchased it...

20,000 and its still has the right size/weight/performance
By (I am an Owner) on Dec 03, 2008I have over 20,000 miles on one of the first 900 Customs purchased in the SF Bay Area and I get happier with every mile.
I average 50 mpg commuting to work from Hayward to Oakland and get there in 25 minutes, ready to go to work. More hp translates to more weight and less mpg, with ... very little gained.
Wouldn't mind seeing it have a 6th gear, but it has smoothed out as it has broken in, and it runs sweet at 65-70 actual, with 80 now adding hardly any more vibes.
My wife and I took a 4 day trip to Santa Barbara, Highway 25 mostly down and Highway 1 back. Handled those coastal ranges without having to shift down (fully loaded) but it really liked those coastal curves. This bike corners better than my previous Vulcan 750, has more neutral steering and almost as much lean.
Added a Corbin touring seat (its great, Kawasaki didn't offer the gel in '07 - after an hour or two, the stock one starts to bite), Kawasaki back rest/rack, detachable bags and a National Cycle Plexifairing 3, with lowers, and turned it into a very comfortable, twisty loving medium cruiser.
