1st time in another state on the Vulcan 900| Alabama to Georgia| The RAIN never really STOPPED!!😣

The one thing missing was wet weather pants, I usually carry a pair in my pannier for such an occasion. Enjoy your Vulcan, great bike.

[@TD205]

Thanks for watching!! I need to get a pair in my saddlebags.👍🏿 Bike is actually sold now. I have the big brother Vaquero 1700😁.

@@TD205 brother I’m im buying a Vulcan 900 it’s got ABS but it doesn’t have traction control ….is it dangerous with out traction control

[@TD205]

@@salahali2710 Congrats!! I do not think it's dangerous without ABS or traction control. Just ride within your limits and practice proper braking skills and know your rode conditions. Motorcycles back in the 70's, 80's, 90's early 2000's didn't have ABS or traction control. Riders got around great. They knew how to brake and the road conditions. ABS is just a tool to prevent your brakes from locking. If braking properly you'll never use ABS. Traction control is mainly for speed riders in my opinion. Stay safe!!!👍🏿

You have the big heart to ride in the heavy rain on the highway,my brother I can't because I don't like be soaking wet 😅😂,so I plan to get a me 2009 vulcan hopefully ...because I'm done with burgman scooter for good and another thing my brother ride safe ..BIKE LIFE 4 EVER,I'M FROM BROOKLYN NYC

[@TD205]

Thanks for watching man!! It's not as bad, most all season riders ride through rain all the time. Just have to be prepared for it. Which I wasn't😁. Aways remember to pack rain gear😆👍🏿. The 900 Vulcan or 650 Vulcan are both great bikes for commuting. Stay safe out there in BK NYC👌🏿.

[@PaulsMotoZen]

I never liked riding faster than sixty in the rain. Not because of getting wet, but because I did not have a wind shield or a jacket most the time when I rode in Phoenix Arizona. Rain drops tend to hurt after thirty minutes with no protection. Looks like nature put you through a wash and rinse cycle, and washed any dust off your bike. ;)

[@TD205]

That windshield really helps out alot. Yes, it did!! A good wash and rinse. Nature is always undefeated😂. Thanks for watching P.!!

So this bike can cruze at 80-85 that's realy good to know I have a 2007 heritage softail classic and thats were I was crazing the outher day 80 was fine 85 felt like I was ringing her out never got over 90. Iv Ben thinking about swapping it in for a vulcan 900 classic lt realy hard.

[@TD205]

Yes, it really could(past tense). That Vulcan 900 was an amazing bike. It ran with the best of them with no issues. I currently have a Vulcan Vaquero 1700. They are 2 different motorcycles, 2 different worlds. If you want to stay in the mid size class yes, get a Vulcan 900 or Vstar 950. But if you want to stay in the Harley world and heavy weight touring get a Road Glide.👌🏿 Or if you want to go metric just a KAWASAKI VAQUERO!!!😁That's for watching!!👍🏿

[@tommylogan6600]

@@TD205 thank you I'm comfortable in the mid size class. But if I was to go bigger I'd get a roadking for sure. I'm looking at the vulcan 900 for a comutting bike so probably get used.

just out of curiosity, what windshield do you have? i just picked up a 900 Classic LT end of last year with a blown engine, rebuilt it and its running great. wanting to put a windscreen on it now

[@TD205]

Bike is sold Chris. I purchased it off Ebay. But I can't remember the seller. That was year's ago. The seller is not longer available on Ebay.

Ok wow. I just bought a Vulcan 909 and I love it. But how the hell were you not shifting into second before you hit 45 mph? Mine losses power around 25-30 mph and you must shift.

[@TD205]

Thanks for watching Brandon!!👍🏿 I no longer have that bike. All I can say is that is was a great machine for a mid class cruiser. It shifted and rode perfectly. I didn't do any modifications other than debaffle the stock exhaust and K&N air filter and oil filter. You may want to get it tune, if you like. Shouldn't be lossing power unless you're at your rev limit. But I zero issues out of that Vulcan 900. Best wishes!

[@sleezy5914]

I am about to do my msf course so i can get some basic skills and my license endorsement. Would you reccomend this to a beginner that is a larger guy? Im 6 foot and 220 lbs so I am worried about the smaller cc bikes. Dont want to outgrow something in one season.

[@TD205]

The MSF course is a great 1st step. You can start on any bike you would like. To each their own. I believe you will definitely outgrow the Vulcan 900, being 6 foot 220 lbs. Go with your gut feeling though. You can always get that forever bike; Kawasaki Vaquero/Voyager, Indain Challenger, Harley RoadGlide, Yamaha Eluder, Honda F6B, BMW K1600. It's truly based on whatever riding you plan on doing. If you're not riding long, long distance, the Vulcan 900 would be fine. Keep in mind that you'll be searching for a 6th gear on the smaller cc cruisers. Best wishes👍🏿.

[@glenrigby8567]

Yeah bro riding in the rain can be rather uncomfortable. Bike sounds mean mate.
