I liked this bike... it was very easy to ride. Plenty of power with a comfortable riding position and seat. I can definitely see taking this on a very long ride. I'm not a big fan of the green pinstripes on black, however, but I'm guessing this changes for the 2019 models.
This bike had a few minor boot cuffs on the saddlebags but the dealership has taken some money off the MSRP.
If I were in the market for a Harley-Davidson Road Glide I would definitely take a good hard look at this metric tourer...

Love these bikes. Best looking fairing of all the baggers.
I bought a 2012 vaquero for $6500 with 20k miles and customized it. I love it
if you're on FB and not a member yet check out custom vaquero nation
@@BrakelightWarranty I gave Facebook the heave-ho for MeWe when they started appending little Leftist factoids to whatever I posted about the last election. Also, with Facebook you are not the user - you are the data. Screw Facebook!
I bought this bike!...and I love it!.....and I got mine for 13,999..out the door!!!
Yes... they can be had for a great price! Enjoy it!
Just seen a leftover 2018 for $12.500 so I'd take a look what RUclips has to say about it.
This is funny. I bought this bike, this ACTUAL bike from Coleman Power Sports in Falls Church VA in Dec 2018.
@@davidicusmaximus8944 How do you like it? ......I love mine....
I remember getting my first Bike and looking over magazines for after market Pipes for my bike. I'm so happy that I've finally got a Sweet Cruiser with some after market parts on her. I Love to Ride
I just bought my 2 days ago. I will have 600 break in miles by Tuesday, God willing! Love this Vaquero 😊
I'm really thinking of getting a Vaquero as my next bike. I currently own a 2005 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Classic. I've owned it since 2008 when it had about almost 13,000 miles on it. I've put well over 50,000 miles on it since then! Still runs but it finally developed an audible whine (the dreaded gear bearing). I'll still fix it and ride eventually, but I'm wanting a more touring style cruiser. A testament on how good these Kawasaki motors are!
GearHeadCat I think I made it pretty clear on how much I liked this bike!
@@BegoneJonah -Gotcha just wanted to share my experience with Kawasaki bikes. I have a good firend who still puts around on his 1978 Kawasaki KZ750!!!
60k on mine same belt and i drag race it
I loved the Road Glide when I rode one a few weeks ago. This makes me really want to go ride the Vaquero. The dealer I get my Suzuki serviced at carries Kawasaki’s as well so I need to ask to take one of these Vaqueros out when they are servicing my C50T.
I'd get the Vaquero. I preferred it.
I bought a 2015 vaquero it's so sweet and it's half the price of a Harley!👍
Big sexy A lot of bang for the buck with a Kawasaki!
This guy is frank and to the point. I like that!👍
0:45 Kawasaki's have a positive neutral finder; meaning they will not go past neutral into 2nd if the motorcycle is not moving.
Oh, is that how it works? None of the sales guys could tell me...
I've seen that feature listed but never knew what it meant. Thanks
Now that I think about it, why aren’t all motorcycle transmissions made this way?
@@BegoneJonah ever rode a harley?
@@turkeyyman7290 This video was shot in October 2018. In December I bought a Road King and have ridden it 26,000 miles. Love it!
Man I was thiiiiiiiis close to buying 1 of these but I got a killer deal on something else (Street Glide). There wasn't anything about the Vaquero that turned me off after doing my due diligence. IF I had to "nitpick" something, my only gripe was the media. The Vaquero (2018 mind you) has an outdated iPod connection and No Bluetooth...That and that alone opened the door for me to keep looking a little longer and that's when I ran across my bike. Also, nobody around here let's you take a test ride, maybe a ride would have sold me but now we'll never know.
This is my bike, I bought this actual Vaquero from Coleman in Dec 2018
David Munford Hahahahaha! Cool! I hope you have many great miles riding it!
David Munford So how many miles have you put on it since December 2018? That’s when I bought my Harley. I have put 8000 miles on it since then.
Wes Clark sadly I’m far behind, notched only 1k miles due to some medical problems but now that I’m rebounding from that I’m riding it daily. Love the bike. Great vid btw, came across it randomly, kept thinking “that storefront looks familiar”. Saw the date and realized that must be my bold since I 1st saw it in there early November. Happy riding!
Best crusier for the money imo
That's Colemans, I've bought about three bikes from them. Guess I need to roadtest the Vaquero.
Those are nice and i ride a road glide 114
This is beautiful
I Love the look of this Kawasaki, I might have to upgrade to this once I get tired of my Yamaha V-Star 1100 ...but that might take a minute. 🤔
Great video, thanks for the info.
I have a road glide limited and its uber heavy. Not 4 beginners...
Great store. Picked up my Vulcan S there. Did you get the Vaquero?
domingowilfredjuan Nope. It is an excellent bike, but I wound up buying a Harley Davidson Road King.
I noticed you kept saying “clunk” when you shifted. Is that bad? I’m only asking because I am new to riding.
TheNightFather666 No, it’s not bad. A lot of motorcycles clunk and bang into gears, especially first. It’s just the way motorcycle transmissions work. My Harley bangs into first and it’s normal.
Wes Clark thanks just trying to learn as much as I can. So it’s much appreciated :)
TheNightFather666 Test ride lots of motorcycles to figure out how they differ and what you like...
My cousin has a 2016 Roadglide with a stage 1 kit from Harley and it sounds sick. Literraly like a muscle car with a nice cam and headers. Would the Vaquero also sound bad ass if it had some sort of stage 1 work done to it? Or is that really a Harley trade mark sound?
Exploding gasoline is exploding gasoline whether it happens in a Japanese engine or an American-made engine. Put an aftermarket exhaust on that thing and it'll sound great!
I put Freedom Performance pipes on my 2018 Vaquero and everyone loves it!.....it sounds so bad-ass!
@@buddywilson104 I have Freedom Performance pipes on my Road King. Loud but not too loud. Just right.
was it in dallas tx
Nope. Virginia.
More top end quicker and bullet proof plus killer warranty put seat air horn and its a rap!!!
Twice as good and nearly half the price
I want one but I don't want a dark color.
How much less than a RoadGlide?
Richard Mccain Hm. I think about $5k.
Kawasaki owns 40% of hd anyway
Where was this kawasaki at
Coleman Powersports in Falls Church, VA.
Whats That tick tic tic is that normal?
Ruben Soto Yes, I can hear it clearly in this video - but I didn’t notice it while riding. Maybe an artifact of the sound recording process? I don’t know...
@2wheelpiracy what youre hearing is the hydraulic valve lifter adjusting. it does that for a couple hundred miles and goes away. i just picked one up a week ago and now the engines quiet after 250 miles.
Remember this. A 1969 VW beetle had a 1600 cc engine.
Yep. So does my Road King w. 103 Twin Cam. Big engine!
Sounds like a lawn mower
I think a Harley with a Milwaukee 8 engine has a sewing machine note. I'm convinced that no bike really sounds good until you put on aftermarket slip-ons.
