KAWASAKI VULCAN 900 PERFORMANCE RIDE / HIGHWAYS - INTERSTATE - BACKROADS / MOTORVLOG 

Just bought a 2006 Vulcan 900 and so far I love it. Paid 2500. With less than 12,000 miles on it.

Exactly the type of video to help someone decide the bike to buy. I have the regular Classic with about 12000 miles now. I ride the same way you do. Took a 40 year break from riding, my last bike being a 67 Moto Guzi V7 bagger. I'm 74 now and had to keep the weight manageable, yet still get out on the open road and keep up with traffic . Took it to Texas last fall where the speed limit is 75-80 on most roads and had no issues! I do have lowers which solved the helmet buffeting at high speeds. Grip puppies and a throttle lock and palm rest all help with throttle hand fatigue. Took it in the mountains in the Ozarks last month and shined up the bottom of the floor boards. Recent Shinko 777 tires stick like glue in the curves. Bottom line , this bike is as near perfect for all around riding at a reasonable price.

Back in 2019 I decided to get back to riding after a 40 year break. I am currently 69 years old. I bought a Victory Vision. My wife was interested in learning how to ride and I purchased an 08 Vulcan 900 Classic for her. She took to it like a duck to water and still rides at 75. I am tall at 6'4" and of a wide build at 280lbs. We live in South Dakota where the speed limits on secondary roads are 65 and 80 on the interstates. She has no problem keeping up with the pack and many times we follow her. I ride the Vulcan occasionally and find it very easy and relaxing. Since then, I have sold the Victory and moved up to a BMW R1200 GSA, but still enjoy the Vulcan to run around in. They are very reliable and easy to maintain. Just a really good all around cruiser.

Thank you so much. Told me everything I needed to know.

I have a 2022 Vulcan 900 classic lt and a 2013 Nomad. I actually find myself riding the 900 more. I have owned many bikes and i have to say the Vulcan 900 has been my favorite.

MAN - Just like mine I have the 2012 LT - midnight blue/black and tricked it out like you. cobra beefy pipes, mustang seat with honeycomb gel under the leather, risers, 3 lights, custom hard bags with LED flashing break lights, LOUD horn, cool air intake, so many things. - you look like your down here in Florida - Im in orlando. Be great to see another Vulcan 900 ride - God bless. - HA I just saw Goldenrod exit - Gypsy show me those fun trails, I'll show you GREAT ones out in Oviedo, Chuliotta, Christmas way!

Love! my '09 Custom.....20,000 miles, no windshield! no problems, only mod...debaffled, see ya'll down the road!, yup...subscribed! Rubber side down brother.

Just saw a 2022 w/ 745 miles for about 6 gees. Might pick it up now because of this review!

Still have my first bike as a "back up" bike, a 2000 VN800 Classic bought new in 2000. It is great at 80-100 km/h. Less so at 130-140 km/h. Very nimble and takes corners very well. A dream to ride aggressively in roundabouts. Also have an Indian Sprinfield 2019 and a Harley Street Bob 2018. If one has to go it would be the Harley. No doubt.

I got a 2012 900 classic my second bike got a great deal on it an it’s my main transportation haven’t had it past 100mph but I love it

Very nice bike. I used to own the v-star 950 a very similar to the Kawasaki, 900. I totaled the 950 hit a deer at 50 miles per hour. Broke both hands in multiple places broke several fingers and both wrist. I currently own a 2023 Harley Davidson heritage classic and a 2015 Honda shadow Aero.

900cc is plenty big enough for touring. All touring motorcycles don't need 100+ horsepower. If it can cruise all day at 75mph and get up and go to pass a truck it's plenty fine. My all time favorite all around bike, both commuting and touring was a 1975 Honda 550 Four with a handlebar mounted fairing. With a passenger and luggage it did all it was supposed to do in comfort.

Ein schönes informatives Video 👍

Thanks for the video... Have been thinking about getting a vulcan s 650, but now watching this video its a tantalizing decision to make 🙂

I have an ‘06 Vulcan 900 Classic LT and have enjoyed it. I would love it more if it had a 6th gear and a bit less vibration in the handlebars. It is completely stock but needs a new seat as the stock seat gets uncomfortable after about 20-30 minutes of riding. Otherwise, it is bullet proof and very reliable.

Excellent bike. How do you check water level in radiator? Where do I check?

My 2011 vn900 is modified larger front pulley , smaller back pulley , a 200 rear tire ! The speedometer reads 5 MPH lower than the actual speed ! Also have 2 into one header , larger air cleaner and fuel managment ! So what rpms does your vn900 run at 70 MPH ! Before I did the modsto my bike at 65-70 MPH she felt like the rpms were so high she was going to fly apart , way to high RPMs like 3000 or more , like passing gear when it is about to shift to high gear but that all there is ! I was very disappointed before I moded my vn900 , now she is just adequate ! I was spoiled by my 74 CB 750K that was modified before I got it 4 into 1 headers needles all the way up air cleaner solid swingarm bushings S&W shocks , 60/70 fork springs / 30 sae oil in the front shocks continental super twin tires ( bragged 4G stopping power , they did stop very well ) , that was 1984 , she was one of the fastest bikes stock mine was much lighter and a little more powerful @ 120 MPH she still had throttle left ! And she could get there fast and slow down fast ! Did not to bad on dirt roads to !

😃👏👍👍

Where did get your windshield?would you mind sharing where you get your phone mount and fork bag?

It will do 90 easy

What type of gas does this bike use

Hard to justify 50hp in a 600lb. bike. I have 3 600lb bikes and they all have 100hp.
