    Got a 2014 Custom with 3400 miles on it for $6500 bucks a couple years ago. Absolutely love it. Not too fast, not too slow. Reliable, gets plenty of compliments. A great all around bike. Couldn’t recommend it enough. Ah can’t wait for riding season 2025 💚

    Gorgeous bike ! I love the Vulcan because its like a Harley but you know you'll arive safely. The shaft drive is perfect. I have a 1500 and it grabs the road, and being heavy makes it feel safe in the wind.

      It'd a great bike the motor sounds so good. With a good slip on this bike would really waken up that motor, it sounds good.

      Its belt drive. Not shaft.

    This motorcycle is perfect. They have reduced everything you need to the essentials, where you just get on the motorcycle and ride. As an owner, you will not have any technical problems with this motorcycle.

      Yeah Kawasaki is super reliable, I owned a vulcan 650 s as my first ever bike and had 13k miles and was running better when we sold it then when we bought it. The sound the 900 makes is really nice, not fast but it has good feel and sound to it.

      Hey that's fine, many people prefer more laid back tone. I like a little more sound, but I don't like obnoxious Loud exhausts

    My friend has one, it’s incredibly smooth.

    Had a 2020. I put a larger front pulley on, Ivans tune and a windscreen. Was fun for what it was. Did several 300 mile short days and a few longer ones but would not do more than that. It actually does better than one would think in the higher rpm's. Stepped up to a Vaquero for the power, 6th gear, cruise and wind protection. With the price i would agree...not enough bike for the money.

      Agree I enjoyed it like a lot but it is a limited bike in certain situations. The vaqeuro i imagine is a great bike. I've not rode many baggers but would definitely would ride it if given the chance. I rode the goldwing and pursuit limited and those were fantastic bikes.

    I just purchased mine….in late October it’s gently used (2008) custom with 5500 plus miles on it for $1800 off FB, my first bike and I am excited to get on it every chance I can. I don’t know what to compare it to bcuz it’s my first bike. 😊

      Awesome!! That's exciting, I remember them days owning my first bike (Vulcan 650). That's great price and not high miles neither, a steal imo. The Vulcan 900 is similar to the Harley Sportster, and in many people's opinions a better more refined sportster. Another bike similar is the honda shadow (phantom). Big v twin motors with just good Ole Muscle and rumble. Good bike.

    I have a 2019 classic, the seat I had redone, the plastic speedo surround was fine for 12000 miles, then it started to vibrate at low speed, checked it, but can stop this , anyone had this problem and fixed it

    It just didn't have the freeway performance I needed in a cruiser. Going 80 felt like I was redlining the entire time. I hated it.

    • @bikerbeliever8169
      @bikerbeliever8169  Месяц назад

      Yes I agreed. I figured above 60 or 65 it would start vibing a little too much in the handlebars. It needs a 6th gear and little more torque and power. It's a nice bike though and makes a good sound, I won't deny that. Definitely overpriced for what you get though.

      I ride my Honda shadow on the freeway at 80 quite often. Slow, yes but it gets the job done.

    • @bikerbeliever8169
      @bikerbeliever8169  Месяц назад

      @IronRoadWarrior nice. I have not rode the the shadow yet but I really like the looks of the phantom a lot, and I love me a good v twin.

    Seems like a decent bike, but for the money id expect more. 2025 base starts at $9.4k. Especially with no tach and gear indicator...

    • @bikerbeliever8169
      @bikerbeliever8169  Месяц назад

      💯 it's definitely overpriced. It should come with little more for that price. It makes a great noise though and is comfy.

    • @molecularmage5443
      @molecularmage5443 Месяц назад +1

      ​@@bikerbeliever8169 yeah it seems like a great bike for what it is (entry level cruiser) but it's just not price accordingly. If this was 5k or less like you said id think this would be a great entry level cruiser.

    • @bikerbeliever8169
      @bikerbeliever8169  Месяц назад

      Agree 👍 💯

    I have the 2010 Vulcan 900..great bikes...and yes with an exhaust this bike will rival any 1100 to 1300cc motorcycle...my friend has cobra pipes on a VTX 1300 and the vulcan has a better sound ...even he admits it ...

    • @bikerbeliever8169
      @bikerbeliever8169  Месяц назад

      Yes that's my favorite part the sound that v twin makes.

    May I say that many "modern" riders are spoiled for too many gadgets, just a thought.

    • @bikerbeliever8169
      @bikerbeliever8169  23 дня назад

      A good bike manufacturer can implement tech that is good imo but still keep it hidden and keep a bike characterfull. And it's OK if a bike model doesn't have any tech, but that should be reflected in the price.
