    By  (I am an Owner) on Apr 04, 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, ...

    I'm planning a trip from New Mexico to Califonia next spring so I added a Cobra rear rack and a driver's backrest. The ...

    By  (I am an Owner) on Apr 12, 2009

    I haven't had it that long to write a complete review, but so far I really enjoy riding it. The Paint is beautiful. My only two complaints are, it should have a tach and foot boards for the passenger. The rear foot peg is very close to the muffler and no matter what shoes they wear, ther foot touches ...
