@@Hossman78 This is my same question at 6'6". I have heard one guy 6'8" say the Yamaha Raider was extremely comfortable and I would imagine so since my Stryker was pretty nice and slightly smaller. But I want a list of a couple bikes for big guys and every time I search all I get is the largest engine. So far the old Honda Valkyrie was decent sitting but I didn't get to ride. Looking at KN2000, Raider & Stratoliner but haven't gotten to sit on any.
@@Hossman78 I have a 2008 VTX1800N. What a beautiful bike. She is a beast when she need to be, but the most comfortable bike I have ever ridden. 1000 miles in 3 days, and I didn't feel a thing. I'm 6'2", and 110 kg. But she's a heavy bike, with serious grunt - not for weaklings or the faint-hearted!
@@Hossman78I’m almost identical in measurements. Rode an Indian Springfield with 10” ape hangers and it was unbelievably comfortable. Now to find an extra $30k…
I've been riding a long time (54yrs) and the Vulcan 2000 is the most comfortable & maintenance free bike I've ever owned. I'll keep it as long as I'm around. I enjoyed this video very much. 👍👍
My Dad who passed away at the end of 2020...Who owned many Bikes in his lifetime bought only 1 brand new...A 2002 VTX1800C...the 1st year model...He loved that Bike...He took many Trips and Hotroded it everywhere...He had to get rid of it when his age and strength couldnt handle the weight of it anymore....In Biker community here in the Central Valley of Cali he was known as VTX Hank...
@@northeaststreets9640 Thank you...He gave to my younger brother and he wrecked it and broke both of his wrists...Needless to say his wife told him no more Bikes...
Riding bare handed is insane.. First thing thats going to touch that grinding wheel are your hands.. its instinct to put those arms out when you fall. Wear gloves. Having no palms left is painful.
That V2K sounds amazing! Never cared for any Honda exhaust sounds. I loved my V2K!!! Had a Thunder 2-1 pipe, Thunder intake and a PCIII with a custom dyno tune. No cruiser could touch me except for a Triumph Rocket or Hayabusa! Miss it big time!
Ive owned both at the same time, and both are wild. Head to head to 2rd gear the vtx can beet the vn2000 off the ljne because of the vulcans low rev limit and need to quick shift to 2nd gear. After that the vn2000 pulls away from the vtx 1800. Vtx 1800 likes a little higher reving to get power. VN2000 pulls like a freight train at all reves! Top end on both bikes is beyond my ridding skills. Had vn2000 up to Almont 130mph. The Vtx scared me at 120mph. Both bikes eat rear tires, don't expect more then 4,000 mile per tire!
I had a VTX 1800 and a Roadliner 1900 A friend of mine had the v 2000. The VTX was the fastest. The VTX in this video sounds like it isn't fuel tuned properly with that exhaust popping.
VTX felt a tiny bit quicker and handled better. Roadliner was more like a Harley with the Pushrods and felt heavier but comfortable. I like both but would go with the VTX if I had to pick one. Both of them have more than enough power.@@selejanrazvan4026
I had these 2 on mind as I wanted to switch to a bigger bike from my smaller Honda Shadow. Went with the Vulcan due to better gas mileage and bigger tank. Love the bike.
He lets me on his bike time to time and man is it a comfortable bike feels like you’re sitting on a cloud compared to the vtx. What cc did you end up going with the 2000?
@@northeaststreets9640 yes Sir. I got the 2000. Enjoy your ride my friend and years of happy riding to you and your friend. I did a review on my 2000. You can find it on my channel in case you were interested 👍
Currently on the shadow and love it! Definitely notice when I’m maxed out on it during highway rides. Good for while I’m learning, as it still kicks on the freeway but definitely looking for a bigger bike
If you want a well balanced bike that isn’t to heavy to maneuver the vtx1800 is awesome the Vn2000 is awesome bike too but it’s also 100lb heavier and when you ride it you can feel the weight where as the vtx1800 feels weightless and the shaft helps with that instant power👌🏼 both are super fun bikes!
Vn2000 100% is the way to go, the bike is absolutely enormous, and for such a big bike it absolutely rips, and you add some fairings and bags ect. You’ll sit perfectly on it👍🏻 also it’s extremely comfortable it’s like riding a big sofa lol I promise you won’t be disappointed. The vtx is a smidge faster but not as comfortable and smaller in my experience.
Buddy has vtx 1800 tuned intake and pipes i habe vulcan 2000 tuned i take pipes and even switching riders the v2k gaps the vtx by no less than bus length every time clear to 140
Nice vid! Do you know what kind of bags your friend has? I have a VN2000 and I’m looking for saddlebags. I was thinking Viking bags but I like the way your friend’s bags look. Thanks!
@@northeaststreets9640 Install the Euro gears and that will change. The Euro bikes got a taller gearing it makes 1st gear useable on the V2K and gives it a higher top end and a little more legs on the 1-2 shift.
Think that's fun? Go balls out on a liter plus sportbike 😆 looked fun though. I miss my Raider, m109r, and Warrior as well...not sportbike fast, but quick, comfy rides
Poor quality video. Small picture. I couldn't tell what was going on half the time. The VTX rider kept looking down when they were racing so you couldn't tell were the other bike was. Might be something you and your buddy want to watch, but anyone else looking at it won't get much out of it. Even your comment "we come to the conclusion they’re pretty much they same speed up until 5th" didn't tell us anything because you didn't say what happened at fifth gear. Who pulled away?
Yeah we ordered a go pro this was just my cell phone in my pocket we’re gonna re do it. The vn2000 pulls when we hit 5th. Up until then it’s pretty even. Sorry for the video quality! Stay tuned for another race! Also it’s probably annoying to do but you can see the vn2000 reflection in my gas tank the whole time either way man thanks for the input subscribe to see better quality videos!
You can clearly tell what happened you idiot lol. VN2000 pulls away in 5th gear if you were having a hard time comprehending. Thought it was a solid video, good watch. Just some guys having fun on their sweet bikes. If you don’t like the content, don’t watch it.

That rev limiter cuts be in at 5250rpm on the VN. New back tyre cost $. Have mine 3yrs no problems. Extremely reliable 😃
The V2K is rolling on the darkside 🙌🏾
The chrome is awesome on the left handle but the clutch fluid has to be changed. Cool video, great to see people having fun on their bikes
Thanks brotha, ride safe and hard👍🏻
I can't help but ride my 1800r fast. That bike wants to scream. Torque monster
Guy with the VTX , a lot of throat little throttle.
I had a VTX 1800 and a Roadliner 1900 A friend of mine had the v 2000. The VTX was the fastest. The VTX in this video sounds like it isn't fuel tuned properly with that exhaust popping.
The problem is not with the bike. If you know what I mean.
So you would recommend vtx 1800 instead of roadliner ?

The 1800 is a whole different beast man I love love love my bike!
I'm in the same boat brother.I wonder how much different would be. 800 pounds beast , 155 master.
Nice view or your handlebar
I'm vulcan fan but love honda vtx to.
I love his Vulcan! His new exhaust sounds very similar to a Harley! It’s a big bike but it gets up and goes! Mine however sounds like a tractor 😂

Vn2000 wins every time
What is a VN?
Kawasaki Vulcan 2000 it’s 2100cc
Vn is short for Vulcan
VN is the model designation for the Vulcan 2000 line. 125 cubic inches/2053cc
So what the hell was that supposed to be I didn't talk about the bikes after the ride didn't compare the bikes
The VTX sounded terrible , popping and crackling and slobbering.
Thats what just cutting your exhaust off will do.......
is that a hidraulic clutch?
While looking at a hydraulic clutch
LET HER EAT!!!
