2007 Kawasaki Vulcan® 1600 Classic

I bought my 2007 1600 in May of 2013. It had 986 miles on it. It had been almost 40 years since I had ridden a motorcycle but the big Classic was easy to handle and rides real smooth. I have put over 3000 miles on it since the purchase and have no wish for any other bike.

Been biking for years my friend has a vulcan we traded bikes for a day was suprised how little vibration there was, a at the power was smooth too. seriously considering trading in my bike [American]for this metric one.

I have had a harley and a honda cruiser but they don't stack up to my 2007 vulcan. smooth ride great comfort and plenty of power up to 90 mph. It will go faster but I am not looking for a ticket. Most times i ride someone says nice bike from their car window to me as well. What i am most suprised ... about is the handling for a bike weighing over 650 pounds it handles very well and that is a big plus for me. my harley handled like a truck big and lumbering. the honda was better handling but was lacking in style and comfort now i have it all and am I happy.

Ths bike supposedly has a 5.3 gallon tank yet I have only been able to use 4 gallons at a time before the light goes on and the bike actually runs out of gas. The other 1.3 gallons might be in there but they are just not making it up the tank to be of any use. A qualified mechanic has told me he ... thinks it's a design fault as the tank is in a position which dips down and that is why the remaining gas stays at the bottom. Very frustrating and I am wondering why there hasn;t been a recall for this. I had read that when the light goes on you are supposed to have another 45 miles to go but this simply has not been the case as the bike will actually conk out on you unless you fill it back up as soon as the light goes on.

I have been riding this superb motorcycle since October of 2007 and have logged over 20,000 exhilarating miles. Maintenance is user-friendly and trouble-free. I love its clean shaft drive that does not splatter chain lube all over nor does not risk snapping belt drives. The beefy front tires with ... increased contact patch help tremendously during hard braking. The comfortable floor boards eliminate surprises like boot heels scrapin on deep leans if otherwise equipped with merely pegs.

A real treat for those who do their homework and want more value for money.
