Here it is 2023 and I'm getting my first bike in 20 years. I used to own Interceptor 700, 750, 100, CB750, Sportster 1000 AMF, Yamaha, and so on, BUT now that I'm in my mid 50's (Damn, really ??

I have a 900 custom and imo, its great bike overall. Its fairly light, easy to operate, dependable, smooth and comfortable to ride and gets great fuel mileage. If you like cruisers, its easy to look and reasonably priced. Imo, its geared too low for long trips on the interstate. Anything below indicated 70mph is fine. After that, it starts screaming and starts vibrating. If you ride double, you might look at something larger unless short trips.

Thorough explanation of facts and what you were thinking when you made this purchase. You can add to your list my 07 Vulcan Classic LT with 77,000 miles and 3 offroad mishaps (WRECKS! HAHA) and the bike just keeps going. Revs may appear high at 75+mph but the engine was designed to rev high like that. You will hit aerodynamic drag limitations at 115mph WAY WAY before you hit redline in 5th gear. That being said, i find myself wishing for more power and gears a lot of the time.

Now she's more than 10% over stock final drive ratio ( she shows 10mph under actual speed ). Bigger pipes bigger air cleaner and fuel management Now she flys and sounds good ! But she could use 1 more gear ! The only thing this bike won't satisfy is the need to have a harley ! This bike is 600 lbs some one said the equivalent harley is 900 lbs ? The seat is lower than the stock harley soft tail . Very smooth with the 200 rear tire you can put this bike anywhere in the lane even on farley rutted up road) that threw me all over with the stock tire) ! Love this bike ! If harley would've given me the same deal i would have got the harley The dealer put it on a credit card and let me ride away after new bike prep ! $ 10,000 signature loan how about that shit !!! They didnt even make me have full coverage insurance . I did get the minimum insurance on my own . 30,000 miles the only thing that has broken on this bike I broke . It also killed a deer that tried to kill me for killing and eating many of his brothers . Fixed her !! Shes still running strong !

Thanks for the comment, I agree, some might interpret elements on this motorcycle differently. Totally subjective to the individual experience. I made the comment about it being a lightweight motorcycle when compared to other cruisers within the Vulcan 900 line-up, namely the fully loaded classic and classic lt, the custom weighs in as the lightest of all three at 611 lbs. Getting on and off this bike has never posed any problem for me. I'm 1.83m tall, weigh 88kg with an leg inseam of .86m (6ft tall, 195 lbs and 34" inseam) and I'm a martial arts practitioner, with strong legs capable of clearing over the seat height with great ease. Everyone's experience is subjective. I stayed as neutral as possible without being bias in my explanation, or did you find me trying to "push" people toward purchasing this motorcycle? Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Actually, if I am not mistaken... the widest factory rear wheel for a mid size cruiser would be The Yamaha Stryker 11'-17'. The stock rear wheel on the Stryker is 210/40/18 and the stock rim can fit a 240/40/18 without mods. Some people even go 250 on it!! I own a 2015 Stryker Bullet cowl and before buying it I was looking at the 2019 Vulcan 900 Custom. But the Stryker as been on my top 3 bikes since 2011, the other two being Harley's and out of my price budget. So drove down to Nova Scotia to buy my dream 15' Stryker Camo Green... I think my only complaint it the clunky gear box, but its a Yamaha! The rest is reliable as hell. My bullet cowl was the only one in green for sale used in Canada at the time I purchased it. And my biggest complaint on the Vulcan is the rear wheel. I hate the fact that Kawasaki went with a 15" and installed an ugly & cheap looking rear rim... It looks like an old full steel car wheel. For the extra few bucks they could have gotten a nicer 18" and give this bike the killer look it deserves. Check out mean cycles, they have an upgraded kit for the Vulcan with a 18" @ 240 rear wheel... it just opens up that rear end and looks badass!! That OEM rear wheel was one of my big turn off points.... and its a shame because the rest of the bike looks fantastic!! Good video! www.meancycles.com/store/parts/view.cfm?partID=214057
