Nice bike. First thing I'd do to this Kawaharley, is cut the windshield down to the right height. Rule of Thumb , "Top of Windshield " should be level with your nose. I used the curvature of a table with cardboard for the template to cut the windshield. This worked out great. Take Care and Ride Safe.

Pity that you didn't open it up on the interstate, seems like it would be happy at higher speeds.

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

Had mine fitted with a power commander, then had her dynode. My 6th gear gives me pulling power, and Im getting 48-50 mpg on the freeway :)

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

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.

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 !

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

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.

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

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

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.

I really have fallen for my Vaquero - it’s so light and nimble on its feet - completely different from a Harley road glide, faster than a 103, 44mpg, and once you’ve pumped up the shocks to 25lbs and put the rebound on #3 goes around corners at good speed - she’s a 6 speed with a double overdrive 5th and 6th are both overdrive gears - 6th is for the highway only. And - it has stone axe reliability at half the cost of an American tourer - just make sure you get the Ivan tune which is an absolute must for improved engine response. Amazing deals in the used market and the engines are absolutely good for 100k

The reason you can remove the keys is so you can open the trunk and bags without shutting down the engine - which is a wonderful piece of equipment

Great song choice👍🏽

Biggest

Group rides multiply the excitement, others that are friends are seeing and feeling the exuberance with you, go out for rides in the country - they know stop for lunch together share the fun of life and the ride!

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!

I have a 12 voyager. The left pocket has a dual wire harness to plug an adapter for BTW or whatever. Kawasaki doesn't provide anymore. I found one in a voyager group for 140 and bought a Bovey 1000 bt adapter handlebar controls include volume, skip but no on screen display of music.. love it only 44k with zero issues.

What type of gas does this bike use

Been raining here in Alabama just about every day making it hard to predict where a down pour might jump on you😅, I love and hate group ride’s at the same time, rode in groups of hundreds and groups of less than 20, my idea group is maybe 6 or even 3, but like you I ride solo most times

I have vibrations at speeds between 120 km/h and 150 km/h. How are you? What was the maximum speed you did on it?

My Tipp: Solo rides…😊

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.

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.

Congrats on buying the Voyager and getting the Ivan tune. It is interesting about your issue with your left knee. I used to ride a Victory Vision but sold it because it sat too low to the ground. I am quite a bit older than you and also a bit taller, plus I found myself needing to ride off pavement more often. I ended up with a BMW R1200 GS Adventure. I have an artificial right knee which has not been a problem and the left knee is perfect for my age. The adventure bikes are not pegged as far back as most sport tourers and you sit more upright. For me, I could easily flat foot the BMW but have much more mechanical advantage holding it up at a stop, while maintaining a low center of gravity, which I loved about my old Victory. I am putting highway pegs on my crash bars so I can occasionally stretch out a bit, but have found the riding position much better for my lower back. At 600lbs with full kit and luggage, it is much easier to throw around. At the same time, it is great in windy or other contrary weather situations. It just goes to show how different everyone's biomechanics operate. However, if I were to go back to a traditional tourer, the Vulcan Voyager would be right up there. You made a great choice on a great motorcycle!

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.

What kind of mic are you using? When i record on my bike i get nothing but wind...

Wieder ein schönes Video 👍👏

I've never owned or ridden an Indian, but I have owned and ridden Harleys! I currently own and ride a 2016 Kawasaki Vulcan Voyager 1700, and mine is the same color scheme as the one in the video, and it is BY FAR a MILLION TIMES BETTER than ANY Harley I've ever owned or ridden or ANY Harley that any of my friends and relatives have ever had! There's absolutely NO CONTEST! The Kawasaki Vulcan Voyager is HANDS DOWN a MUCH BETTER bike than ANY Harley! It weighs almost 900 pounds but it is very well balanced and easy to handle and maneuver. And the stock seat is COMFORTABLE enough for an ALL DAY RIDE! Definitely my favorite bike I've ever owned!

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

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.

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.

Ein gelungenes Video👍😊 - ein super Tausch 👍👍

I have a 2007 Vulcan 900 had it 3 yrs now and love it ,white walls and chrome . I am currently looking at a gently used Vaquero or Voyager , Thanks for a great review ,you have done a great job explaining the ride and the bike in general so thank you .I'm liking it even more now. When I get mine I will take it for a ride from Toronto to Florida on it and park it at my winter place , to cold to ride here in the winter ,I'll keep my 900 in Toronto for the summer . Cheers from Toronto .

I'm close to Sanford, Definitely will be visiting that german restaurant. Thanks for the video!

😃👏👍👍

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

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

Ощущение, будто я сам в воскресение от нечего делать съездил в Сенфорд. Thank you for video

Super schönes Video.👍👏👏Hollerbach,s 👍👍, wunderschöne Marina👍, Danke für die schönen Einblicke von Sanford

It will do 90 easy

Get rid of that massive container blocking the dash Carry your water in the trunk

Wie immer ein schönes Video und eine wunderschöne Fahrt entlang der Küstenstraße 👍👍

Yes that clunk. 1st and 2nd. Makes me cringe top gears fine. My 20yr old VULCAN

I love my 2012 Voyager. I had a '86 Voyager XII (Year one) before. The only downfall I find with the 2012 is the lack of Kawasaki aftermarket items. Most you have to buy Harley things and adapt them. Overdrive 1 (5th gear) I stay in til I hit about 70. Then 2nd overdrive (6th gear) fits perfectly. Especially on flat stretches. I usually keep my RPMS around 2700 - 3000. I've done several long haul trips from Buffalo, NY to TN (10 - 12hr rides) and I'm comfortable with the stock seating. The 50s dash is beautiful.Just wish they'd upgrade the sound system to Bluetooth.

Schönes Video - tolle Maschine - super Informationen 👍👏

Always loved this tune.

Cool but did you shoot this with a potato?

Ein schönes informatives Video👍👏
