Comfortable

Fits me to a tee

By Bob (Owner), Nov. 23, 2009

Best Bang Form The Buck

By bootcut(Owner), Apr. 4, 2011

I have put 19000 miles on my 900 Vulcan LT. I have made three trips to the Black Hills, at about 1500 miles each round trip. Bike handles and rides great. Average speed on the interstate 80 to 85 mph. One time on the way back I had it at 100 on a flat for about 10 miles. I had a little more throttle... Read Full Review
