2025 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Review & Ride | Harley Davidsons 'NIGHTMARE'

[@larryechols6606]

I had a Sportster in 1978 and it didn't cost me anything because my dad bought it for me, but it wasn't very reliable. I sold it and got a Kawasaki Vulcan 750 which was a much better bike. I'd buy a Kawasaki any day before I'd buy a Harley! But I'm loving my Moto Guzzi!

[@RayBowdenRides]

Hey larry thanks for Commenting and Watching 🙏🏻. Talk to you again soon my friend!!

[@TexasSteele67]

Grew up in a HD house - Drove every one of my Dad's bike's, yes he had many because they were always in the shop - he'd trade em' in every 2 years - I've owned nothin' but Honda's and Kawasaki's (Current bikes are a GL1800 DCT Tour and an H2 SX-SE)

[@umakantgajjewar8898]

Love my Moto Guzzi 1200 Griso, and my Moto Guzzi 750 Breva !

[@honestlion17]

@larryechols6606 Man, you guys are speaking my language.I have a beautiful Moto Guzzi 2021 V7 stone. After owning Japanese bikes my whole life, including a Gold Wing. Nothing beats the reliability of the Japanese bikes.I'm hoping my MG is as dependable because I love it.

I have the 23 Vulcan custom. Pearl green color. It rides smoothly, very simple, and quick throttle response. I will never get rid of it haha. Definitely recommend!!

[@RayBowdenRides]

Thanks for Commenting and being apart of the Channel my friend 🙏🏻. Stay in Touch and have a great Thursday!!

[@cg1288]

I had one of these years ago. It was in that fantastic Kawasaki burnt orange color. It was a really fun little bike, I must say. The only con was RR crossings and torn-up pavement. That skinny 21" front wheel with that geometry was harsh. But you just learn to ride it differently in those situations. After watching this video, I really wish Kawasaki would bring back the Mean Streak. I had one of those as well. I have had over 40 motorcycles, and the Mean Streak is probably the number one bike I wish I still had today.

[@RayBowdenRides]

@RayBowdenRides Yes, sir! My first bike was an old 2-stroke Rokon. Had the bug ever since.

[@modernvintagerider3948]

I owned a 2012 VN 900 Custom. It was orange, black and, beautiful. I bought it brand new with 0 miles and when I finally sold it after 3 years she had 48,000. I loved every minute riding that bike

[@shawnaymond]

That reminds me of my first bike, I had a Yamaha Stryker. It was 1300cc's of pure fun, it had kind of a long front end, so had to be careful with slow speed maneuvers. Great video as always Ray.

[@RayBowdenRides]

Brings back the good one days huh Shawn? I remember those Strykers! They were Nice! Thanks for Commenting Shawn and always being apart of the family here on the channel! Have a great Thursday!!!

[@honestlion17]

@shawnaymond I was at the Sturgis rally in 2009, and the Yamaha Dragstar 950 took the bike of the year award. It pissed off all the HD boys. You know the truth hurts sometimes. You can be loyal to a fault. HD's are really not that great. They fall behind the big 4 Japanese manufacturers in every category.

[@RayBowdenRides]

Yea that's funny you say that it does don't it. Thanks for Commenting 🙏🏻 and stay in Touch my friend!

[@gpd456]

Only thing I would have to question is the single disc brake up front. I had a Harley Dyna back around 2012, it was really a fun bike and didn't give me any trouble but for the price (yes they were still ridiculously priced back then) the brakes were a total meme. When riding it you had to handle braking like when you're pulling a trailer: plan ahead because it wasn't going to stop in a hurry! LOL

[@RayBowdenRides]

Yep that's true for sure! Thanks Gpd - Have a great Thursday my friend!!!

[@lockeduplocksmith]

At 59 I just bought my first bike, a 2009 Vulcan Classic LT. It's amazing how little they've changed that bike in 15 years, just goes to show when you got something right don't mess with it!

My wife has a Classic LT that we bought 5 years ago. She will be 76 years old this December. It has Cobra pipes and a few other goodies. She has no problem running 80 MPH with us on the Interstate. The sound and presence of her bike is just plain bad ass. I even enjoy riding it. You nailed it well. It is a great cruising motorcycle as well as being very reliable.

[@thegreenman2030]

I picked up an 07 900 Classic Lt this past spring and it’s a really nice middleweight cruiser. I have the intake and the injectors a good cleaning, new set of tires and all new fluids. 16k miles and the motor hums quietly. It could use better gearing especially on the highway. I plan to get the ECU flashed this winter and do a few other cosmetic modifications. For $3k with a new $950.00 mustang seat and new set of cobra pipes added by the previous owner it was a great value.

[@RayBowdenRides]

That's a deal right there!!

Led bulb in the headlight, loud pipes on it, smaller LED turn signals. Maybe some sort of Led pod lights mounted to the forks for better visibility light up the road better. Led tail light, small to medium windshield. Heel toe shifter and floor boards. Some speaker Bluetooth music setup would be cool. Thats really about it, bike looks beautiful though

[@danielreigada1542]

I own a 2007 Vulcan 900 and it is unchanged from the ones they sell today, except mine has more chrome. I've owned mine since 2009 and it's been mostly trouble free. The instrument cluster fades out if you leave it outside. I had to swap out mine for that reason. Also, it could use a 6th gear or a lower 5th gear ratio for freeway cruising.

[@RayBowdenRides]

Good to know, Thanks for sharing and Commenting 🙏🏻. Have a great Week my friend!!

[@emvdhout]

lol ... I have a custom special from 2009 and yes, you wrote exactly what I thought. Apart from paint, literally nothing seems changed. I do have the floorboards and a windscreen, and I have to say, it really is a fantastic bike. However, besides the extra gear, it could also use a little bit more power.

[@MoroMagrew]

[@RayBowdenRides]

Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻.

[@clydeosterhout1221]

This is a really old design. Manufactures are moving away from V-twins because they are expensive to build and impose limitations on design. Parallel twins are cheaper and a lot easier to work with. The traditional Harley look isn’t selling well these days. It mainly appeals to the baby boomer generation. I am always surprised to see that 900 is still being sold. It hasn’t been changed in any meaningful way since 2006, so I doubt that any changes will be made before it is dropped altogether. But it evidently still sells well enough, so who knows?

[@LedosGarage]

Yay ray you did the vulcan 900 custom! Sweet sauce! I think it looks badass the rims are cool looking. Sweet looking bike. I like the custom look but I would add floor boards and a heal toe shifter. Maybe a small to medium windshield nothing big like the classic version This bike with some pipes on it. Be bad ass. Kawasaki should make a vulcan 1100 or 1200 too

[@turtle19dad]

The 900 Classic LT has the heel/toe shifter and floorboards.

[@LedosGarage]

@turtle19dad yeah but there's things on the LT I don't like the customs got a "custom" look to it. I'd just add those couple things to itn

[@RayBowdenRides]

Let me see if the got one, if they do I'll be happy to review it! Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻.

[@clydeosterhout1221]

I’ve ridden both, and I own a Classic LT. The similarities and differences are about what you’d expect. Same engine, same power, same suspension, same seat height, same weight (the KT is a bit heavier due to the accessories). The handling is slightly different due to the tall and skinny front tire on the custom. The seat on the LT is better, but it still benefits from an upgrade when touring. The big windshield on the LT catches the wind but it’s easy to get used to. The LT has spoked wheels which doesn’t really make sense on a touring bike, but the downside is look “Classic”. Neither bike is fast, but they are fast enough. Power is plenty enough for two up touring with the bags and rear rack loaded up. It will run 80+ mph all day. Both bikes are fast enough, and will accelerate faster than most cars, but don’t try drag racing other bikes. The engine puts out 50 hp, which is plenty for its designed function but it’s no drag racer. It’s a nice average bike. Kind of a motorcycle Toyota Corolla. Reliable but not exceptional.

[@mikeogden5256]

I love it

[@RayBowdenRides]

It is Beautiful isn't it!! Have a Great Thanksgiving Mike🙏🏻. Stay Safe my friend!!!

[@edwardkeeter762]

The Kawasaki Vulcan 900, the Suzuki C50, and the Honda Shadow Aero/Phantom 750 are all gorgeous, fun, and absolutely bulletproof cruisers, and for a fraction of the cost of a Harley or Indian. Yes, they may be a little down on power vs. some of the Harleys, and yes, the Harleys are usually dripping with newer tech, but who cares? They're all plenty quick for cruising, and honestly, who wants all that other crap on a cruiser? I think Harley has priced itself out of the market, and now the Japanese brands (and Royal Enfield with the Super Meteor650, Classic 650, and Shotgun 650) are going to eat their lunch by selling well-made, actually affordable alternatives.

[@RayBowdenRides]

I think harley is in trouble!

[@lancem4473]

I have an ‘06 Vulcan Classic. It has been a great bike but is very fatiguing to ride anything above 65-70mph for any length of distance with the vibrations in the handlebars and seat.

[@RayBowdenRides]

Humm , 👍 okay. Sorry about that. Have you taken it to the mechanic??

[@lancem4473]

@ it’s have regular maintenance (I’ve owned it since 2012) and I just put on another new set of tires. It rides great around town and on short “road trips” but I’m always searching for a 6th gear and I believe the engine is working too hard at today’s common highway speeds. Now that I live at a higher altitude, the engine’s weaknesses (only having moderate power and low torque) are amplified.

Thanks Aya for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻.

[@thegreenman2030]

It comes in just under $10k, you’re not going to get cruise control in this bike for that price point. It’s also not the greatest highway bike due to the gearing. I do agree with the LED upgrade which I did myself for around $100.00.

[@AyaWetts]

@@thegreenman2030 Can get a Rebel 1100 with LED lights and cruise control for the same price

[@thegreenman2030]

@ That’s because it was designed as throttle by wire which costs next to nothing to add factory cruise control. The Rebel 1100 is also its own thing. Not a traditional Vtwin cruiser that lets you know with the way it looks, sounds, and feels. It’s a good bike but not what many traditionally look for. But you’re right it has both for around $10k.

[@mindspinn311]

Unfortunately all these metric cruisers suffer the same issues: They never get updates and they depreciate like falling rocks from new. So, buying used makes sense. The Vulcan 900, Shadow 750 (got a rear disc and ABS last year) and Boulevard C50 all still have 5 speed transmissions. They also only make 45-55hp while being over 500lbs. But yeah they’re super reliable, are cheap to maintain, and can do huge miles without an engine rebuild.

[@RayBowdenRides]

Very true!!!

[@rehsa-zc6zq]

I had a 2011 900 custom for my 1st bike. Bought it back in 2014. Great bike, but sold it after less than 1 yr due to the 5 speed transmission and it not being that great for long trips on TX highways. It could do the speed, but at 85 on the highway it was buzzy like a chainsaw. I'll say I think it had at least 70 hp after exhaust and tune which it had before I bought it. It was powerful enough for two up riding no problem. I sold it and got a 2011 vulcan voyager 1700 that I've happily kept since 2015.

[@rehsa-zc6zq]

The vulcan 900s and 1700s series all need to be updated. I wish the 1700s would become 1800s and come standard with LED lights and an updated infotainment system. The 900 needs a 6th gear, new dash, and maybe a factory touring half fairing. Similar to the lowrider ST or the Indian equivalent.

Why a 900 and no dual rotors and calipers on it? Dont understand a 900 should have 2. But definitely the headlight being the "custom" the headlight should have been better an LED setup. Led turn signals. Led break light. More custom stuff

[@RayBowdenRides]

Nice bike, but under-powered. My Victory Vegas weighs the same and has 100hp+

[@RayBowdenRides]

Victory was a AWESOME motorcycle!! Can't believe they called it quits!! Thanks for Commenting and Watching 🙏🏻. Have a great weekend my friend!!!

This thing puts out 58 ft-lb of torque. You won't find any Harley putting out 58 ft-lb of torque.

I would get this before an iron 883

[@edwardkeeter762]

The Vulcan 900 and the Iron 883 are apples and oranges. Yes, they're similar in terms of pricing displacement, and they're both "entry level" classic cruisers, but the 900 is a bigger, heavier, more laid-back kind of cruiser while the 883 is more of a hooligan cruiser. The 883 has tons more character...I'd argue too much character for longer rides. The 900 is a great GADA (Go Anywhere, Do Anything) bike. The 883 is a really fun 2nd bike, but not a primary ride.

[@RayBowdenRides]

For Sure!

[@F-tt3xv]

Metric manufacturers are atleast not soon bankrupt as HD. 😂

[@RayBowdenRides]

@F-tt3xv harley has been hurting, I sure hope they don't go bankrupt- I actually lo HD'S

[@sgt.nexsuperne4798]

Funny statement, been building and selling motorcycles since 1981. Never needed after market parts. You Soy Boy types are so helpless. But at least you ride.

[@scottthurman6135]

Get real..For looks, sound and feel doesn't make a pimple on a Harley's rear...Mechanically very good bikes but still looks and sounds Japanese..No resale..Let's face it they tried to copy Harley cruisers..Sorry...Even though Harley went woke...If you want a reliable cruiser with the pop pop sound of Japanese buy one of these and you can't go wrong..

[@RayBowdenRides]

Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻. Have a great weekend!

[@honestlion17]

Harley is not capable of engineering a motorcycle of this caliber. Since they went woke their is no hope for them.

[@joeyd6351]

You are DELUSIONAL HARLEY DAVIDSON'S ARE LIGHT YEARS AHEAD OF THIS KAWASAKI IN terms of tech motor advancement and style THE KAWASAKI 900 IS A NICE BIKE but light-years behind HARLEY DAVIDSON'S IN EVERY RESPECT
