  • Great Bike
    By  (I am an Owner) on Dec 01, 2012

    I bought mine originally as a step up from the 750's I was used to riding and with the Big Bike weight it took some getting used to. Today I have over 30K on it and it feels like a glove. Slow speed maneuvering is a breeze. The Stock tires are my only negative. The sooner you change em the better. ...

  • Cobra pipes
    By  (I am an Owner) on Oct 13, 2011

    If you're looking to get aftermarket pipes Cobra will be a good choice. Great look and sounds fantastic. I just installed a cobra fuel processor and found out that I'm getting at least 10 more miles per gallon. You won't go wrong with Cobra brand.

  • Vulcan Classic 1500: More refined than ever!
    By  (I am an Enthusiast) on Nov 13, 2008

    This is the second Kawasaki Vulcan Classic 1500 I have owned. I happily rode the 1st one for 9 years until I had a collision with a large deer. The 2007 Model is more comfortable, has improved rear suspension, and is fuel injected. The new bike gets far better mileage (49 mpg highway average). ...

    bike is beautiful, has plenty of available accessories and is trouble-free. Thank you for providing me with the only two motorcycles I have ever truly loved and never wanted to sell.
