    My ride since 2012. Mine is registered 95 but made 94 so more or less the same bike than this tested one. When I bought it I was in a bit of a hurry and only had limited choice, this was the best one on offer. Thought that I´d ride it for that season and then trade it in for something more exciting. And here I am, 10 years later still with the same bike. And I´m still happy with it so it looks like it has become a keeper. Great allround bike!

    Kawasaki Vulcan 750 was their first cruiser in the American market. It was made 1985-2006, basically unchanged, except the early models were 700cc, due to the “Harley Tariff.” From 1986-2006, the motor was 749cc. It’s hard to find a clean example these days, because owners either hold onto them, or they get wrecked by a newer rider. An under appreciated motorcycle in its day, that was packed with features usually found on larger, more expensive bikes.

    The things I love about the Vulcan 750: the sound is beautiful, the bike is very pleasing to the eye, and the low seat is way comfortable. Shifting is calm, collected and fun. So far I haven't had any mechanical problems with the bike. I added a wind screen and switched to an LED head light bulb.

    I've had a 2005 VN750A for about 2 years now and I love it overall. I added saddle bags, trunk bag, and a slipstream windshield. The windshield makes highway travel SO, SO much better! The only real negative is dealing with the "coffee grinder" issue which you can search the internet and find lots of info on for more details, but to boil it down, once in a blue moon and usually before the engine has heated up good, there is a delay in releasing the clutch for first gear along with a sort of grinding noise before it grabs and lurches the bike forward. Replaced clutch and cable that made the issue go away for a little while but it returned after about 500 miles. Other than that, it's a fantastic bike!!

    Excellent review. I have no experience of this 750 but do of the 800 that replaced it in 2006 I think in the UK. Makes a Harley 883 feel like a tank and corners without drama or touching down and feels much quicker / more nimble than the HD. The brakes however were not much better. Bullet proof engines and reliability HD can only dream of in my experience. Shame buyers buy the HD badge rather than a proper motorcycle, my opinion again. The good news is these bikes are very affordable. That popping from one cylinder can only mean that the fuelling needs correcting, or there is an air leak in one exhaust pipe. Needs sorting.

    In 2016, bought a 1998 HD Heritage
    Classic Softail and basically garaged the Kaw for several years.
    Recently, we've rekindled our 'romance'.
    At 75mph, the Harley can be registered on the Richter Scale.
    At 75mph, the Kaw is smooth and demanding more throttle.
    The nimble 750cc Kaw absolutely embarrasses the 1340cc HD.
    Nice vid, thanks!

      I've owned a couple of Shadows, and ridden others. The early ones were somewhat comparable to the Vulcan VN750's. Actually, the 500 Shadow was a great little bike with the 6 speed transmission and nimble handling. But in a side by side the VN750 was better than the Shadows, and more so compared to the newer Harleyesque Shadows. My 2006 Shadow 750 couldn't hold a candle to the VN750. The way they fit, perform and handle has to be experienced. The VN750 and the Nighthawk 750's are two do all well (except off road) bikes that can be beat in most any category but not in every category. I have a running VN750, an almost ready one, another will be ready in the Spring, and two basically complete parts bikes without titles. I'm a fan, although I do have a couple of dozen other bikes...

      So I focus on everyone else:
      Where is that car going? will they merge? what if they dont see me? can I pass him safely? is a car behind me, what if they don't see me so how can I position myself if they dont ? What if there is a tractor hidden behind that curve, what if a moose runs out in front of the car in front of me, am I ready to hit the brakes etc etc.
      Keeping track of them all, keeps me alive.

      Yeah cruiser bikes are much more comfortable to ride. Some bikes are meant for comfort and not speed.
      Personally I prefer a nice comfortable bike rather a fast one.
      I used to have a Honda Shadow 750 and it wasn't too strong or fast. Perfect to ride around 70-90 km/h and just relax on some nice roads. I miss it tbh.... =)

    The only thing during this entire video that drove me nuts is that guy never let that 750 breathe!!! He kept shifting at WAY to low of RPM for that engine!! It’s not a Harley, but a DOHC, V-Twin that likes to scream!!! If he would have shifted at 6,000-7000 RPM or more, he would have really felt the power of that engine. It redlines at 8,500RPM! Now granted the stock exhaust as well as the air cleaners are garbage. With a little modification that bike screams! It almost seemed like it was only running on one cylinder compared to the power of my 2000 VN750!!

      Well it wasn’t my bike, I just borrowed it for a ride so I ride carefully not to break or push the bikes too hard. (Not saying 6K is pushing too hard though).
      It’s not polite to borrow someone else’s bike and not respecting it. With my own bikes I can ride them however I feel like.
      Also not everyone has the need to ride fast or getting those revs up. Some of us just wants to chill and cruise around.

      Kawasaki Stated 66 bhp, dynoes @ 10% more add K & N's pushes up into the 70 bhp plus territory. Exhaust change adds power too. However, figures are less important than where power is delivered on the road. People forget the Japanese big bikes, from 1968, such as 750s were all initially targeted round the 66 bhp of the big Harley Davidson twins! First generation Honda CB 750, 67 bhp!

    It’s definitely a function over form kind of bike. The Vulcan 800 looks way better but lost the shaft drive, fuel gauge, cast wheels, rpm gauge and the center stand among some other things. That’s a lot of function to lose for looks. (I’d probably still pick the 800)

      Just fill her up with some fresh gasoline and make sure to charge the battery up. A simple CTEK charger is perfect for that. and off you go. Have fun with it and ride safe!

    I'm not as impressed. I bought a used winner 750 from 1993 5 months ago and there has only been concerns with it. It is submitted for the second time to a motorcycle workshop, for sealing of an oil leakage under the engine, where the clutch is located. There are still problems with they turning too high. Most recently, it hooked up at 5,000 rpm and has stayed there. It is also impossible to find another exhaust system on the market.

    • @Darkvisor

  • @geraldscott4302

    Someone has seriously butchered the exhaust system on that bike. I have a 2002 model that I bought new. It now has 129,000 miles on it. It is my second Vulcan 750. The first was a bought new 1993. I have over 200,000 miles on Vulcan 750s. Despite the high mileage, they are not the most reliable bikes out there. In fact they are probably less reliable than an EVO Sportster. There are things you have to know about to keep these bikes going. First, when you buy a new one, you have to immediately disassemble the final drive and lube the splines with moly grease. This has to be done every 10,000 miles. But on most of them they never got lubed at the factory, so by the time they hit 10,000 miles, they will already have significant damage to the final drive splines. Second, the automatic cam chain tensioners are a defective design, and fail around the 10,000-15,000 mile point, and when they do, it won't be long before the cam chains break and destroy the engine. You can get manual tensioners that will solve that problem permanently. They seem to be more prone to stator failure than most bikes, and to replace the stator you first have to remove the engine, and to get the engine out you have to practically disassemble the whole bike. And then there is the rubber dampers in the counterbalancer. By about 10 years/50,000 miles they start to deteriorate, and when they do, it allows the balancer to wobble, and eventually grind right through the cases. Replacing those rubber dampers also requires removing the engine, they are under the same cover as the stator. I had to pull the engine on both mine. If you do all that, then they will last a very long time, if left stock. Unfortunately many people chop up the intake and exhaust systems, and that not only decreases performance, it also decreases engine life. These bikes have seriously complicated engines. 4 overhead cams, 4 valves per cylinder, 2 jackshafts, 4 separate cam chains, 2 carburetors, a counterbalancer, dual plug heads, liquid cooling, hydraulic valves, shaft drive, which includes a separate bevel drive gearcase bolted to the engine to rotate the output shaft 90 degrees. They also have very complicated intake and exhaust systems. They make 66hp at 7500 rpm, and have an 8500 rpm redline. They will easily blow away an 883 Sportster, and out accelerate a 1200 Sportster up till about 90 mph, they are pretty much the same from there. They will also outrun an 80ci H-D Superglide. It's too bad about their problems, Kawasaki had 21 years to fix those problems, and never did.
