One of the most comfortable bikes I've owned was a Suzuki Intruder 1500. I put over 87,000 miles on that one. When I sat on a Kawasaki Vulcan 900 it felt about the same as my old Suzuki. The Vulcan is much more comforable than the Suzuki C50, the Honda 750 Shadow and the Yamaha V-Star (Which i would own. I've had my fill of Yamahas). With the Kawasai Vulcan feeling like much more than the others I am shocked that they don't sell better. I had to go to a trike due to my wife's health issues (which are many) but if I were to go back to two wheels I'd give up the HD brand and buy a Kawasaki Vulcan 900 CLassic LT.

No, but the added power would be really welcome on the highways in the states. This bike only has 5 gears and most riders agree that it either needs a sixth or a different gear ratio to make cruising around 75mph smoother (it's running pretty high RPM at 75mph). Still, I'm on my 2nd Vulcan Custom 900. Love the styling and feel and the missing 6th gear isn't a big enough deal to me to make me give it up.

Doesn’t quite keep up with my buddies victory gunner, but man.. the 900 Vulcan is a perfect all around bike. Super easy to throw around with adequate power. Just wish she had a 6th gear. 4th and 5th seem to pull the same, so it kinda feels like 5th is just an over drive. I’ve had her for going on 5 years now. And yes, those beach bars are factory!

I bought my 900 classic in 07 with very little mileage on the clock ,but with the extras that are now on her she’s a much higher standard than the LT. Although she’s still in A1 condition I though that I would look at something more modern, and so last year I spent the day looking around all the main bike dealers in Cornwall, and even into Devon. That day I must have covered a 150 miles looking at bigger bikes,smaller bikes,cruisers and sport bikes etc etc ,and guess what my Vulcans still in the garage because I honestly could not find anything in her class to beat her.

I ride a 2009 Vulcan Classic 900LT all stock: I love this beautiful bike, and will never part with it! Other than regular maintenance, new tires, and battery, never in the shop. The Vulcan900 is known to be super reliable. The LT trim comes with a passenger backrest and a windshield which (unlike Shawn!), I find to be indispensable at highway speeds. My wife and I frequently ride 2 up (combined weight 350 lbs), still plenty of power. With its low CG, the bike is super stable in turns and at low speeds. The Vulcan900 is neither a sport bike nor an interstate touring bike! It is a medium duty cruiser that is optimal for day trips on two lane twisties. Its sweet spot is in the 50-55 mph range. For speeds 65 and up, the buzz - no 6th gear! - becomes increasingly noticeable. This is not a problem for me cuz I rarely cruise faster than 65 on this bike, even though the top end is allegedly 85-90mph. In constant stop and go urban traffic, at 650 lbs, the Vulcan can become a handful to handle IMO. For local errands I rely on my 2014 Honda Forza (281cc, 400 lbs) maxi-scooter with its CVT transmission, top speed around 75mph! Just twist and go. Anyway for exclusively city driving I personally would go for a lighter more nimble bike, say, in the 125-500cc range. But in the end, as with all things motorcycles, it comes down to a matter of personal preference. @snufflehound

Vulkan 900 was my first bike. It's great at all points for the beginner, but after the first season, I wanted to change it to something more agile. It's comfortable and stable, but it's too wide, heavy and hulking for a city. It literally floats along the road like a ship! It not always can pass traffic jams. It's noticable that it was made 15 years ago. Thinking about a new SRV 550 (former Benelli Lioncino).

I've had/have several bikes - the V-Strom1000 was too tall, dropped it twice, the ST1100 was better but I still need longer legs, rode my buddy's 883 custom and thought it was a dog, got a Yamaha V-Star 1300 that's strong pulling throughout the rpm range - starts pulling well in 5th at 70, but it's a bit heavy. I like your review and the 900 is looking good to me.

Sean, that is such a great review!.....and that is the perfect bike for me! I own a SV650 Suzinator right now and while I love this bike, at 66 years young, think it soon will be time to throw a leg over a cruiser. You have made my mind up! Think it would be a better choice than a C50 Suzuki (imho )

Love my Suzuki 650 bobber, the cruisers sling low and let the back and knees rest. I keep it because I'm sentimental but traded a Honda vtx 1300 for a Kawasaki 900 and love it. Fewer body aches for those of us a few years young.

@@Lee-70ish Hi, I'm at 15K miles and no issues at all! I did find a great deal on a mustang seat and I do recommend replacing the front pulley w a Barons 34 tooth. You will just cover the throttle and do 70 all day w no vibration.

@@Lee-70ish Hi, It's a amazing bike and love mine. I do suggest a Barons 34 tooth front pulley. You will just idle at 70mph all day with no vibration and still have fast response to hit 80-90 mph should you want. It's kept me from getting a bigger bike. Another thing is to beware of ever riding on steel grates and ugh wet steel grating and to be careful on gravel. That narrow 21" front tire will allow you to keep up with sport bikes on the twisties but something to be respectful of..

love your videos and the superb sound of the twins-how do you cut wind noise? I got a really nice Suzuki C50, it and the Vulcan 900 are my favorite bikes. I like shopping in your site, the only concern is do you let the bike get up to running temperature before opening them up? May not really hurt them but I take it easy for a few minutes till I go highway speed.

I know this video is a couple of years old. But im almost at my end of my 'sport' bike life. Meaning, my wife fell in love when i took her on a VTX1800. And i looked at a. KAWI 900 CLASSIC. She is not a small girl by all means. My question is. Is this 900 strong enough to get out of its own way with me and her on it. Total weight about 500lbs max.
