Hey mr bowden. Getting this bike, noticed it sounded kind of electrical when I took it for a test ride, can you tell me the name of the exhaust pipe that makes yours have that nice supercharged heavier sound. So i can have my store install it, thank you 🙏🏽
@RayBowdenRides6 сағат бұрын
Actually it was like a Ebay copy of a pipe- it wasn't my bike it belonged to the Dealership. I just do 1st Rides and Reviews, let me look at a picture and see if I can tell what name is on it.

Man,,on the bigger cc bikes I wish they would have made that throttle gauge or brake gauge what ever they call it A Fuel gauge,, I don’t even look at mine it’s for throttle none abs.It would have been better space used for a fuel gauge like they do on the 400 and the 600,,just my opinion to bad u can’t have the instrument cluster reprogrammed.They are mostly all the same just the way they are programmed is different..giving u the option to change it would have been money well spent on the R&D department. Just my opinion,,good video!!!

I owned a 2017 V7 Special and now I own a 2023 V7 850 Special Edition. It is an absolute joy to own and ride. Super fun, but without the drama of a hyper intense racer bike. It is perfect as a daily driver and weekend fun run rider. Mine came stock with arrow exhaust that adds an extra pony and a litte more torque. The sound under throttle is magnificent. I've owned about 26 different bikes over the years, this one is truly special and will not be sold or traded in. Unless for another V7 ;)

After all these years, it still has jerky fuel injection and a no-padding seat that slides you into the tank. I've owned two SVs, and sure, it's fun for short rides and the engine is great, but I'm disappointed that Suzuki refuses to invest anything more into this model, besides new paint.

Had a 2020 Cafe ABS version for a few years. Many years ago I had a Vulcan 750. My neighbor had a Ninja 650 and I always wondered what it would be like to combine the two. Kawasaki must have been listening. I had taken a few year hiatus from riding after the 750 was too far gone to fix after putting 75000 miles on it. Saw this for sale up the way and got back on the saddle. This bike had me fall in love with riding again. Put about 6k miles on it and traded it in for a Honda Fury because I missed that V-twin sound but I'll never forget that Vulcan S. Love this channel man.

That's a trip. I have the same bike (picture in avatar) . Same Leo Vince exhaust too. It's a hoot of a bike eh? Probably going to send my ECU to Brocks and get a full exhaust during the downtime. The only thing that spooks me about it is how far the crank case sits. Adding a crash cage was a little awkward.
