We used to have one years ago whenever they first came out. Stock this bike was awesome. The only thing we added was a backrest. Nothing as far as cruisers could keep up with it at the time. Stock exhaust was impressive. Paid $10k cash new...
What I don't like about it is that it has a 1st short gear! At like 40km an hour you need to shift to 2nd, otherwise rpm goes way up and it screams! What are your thoughts on it?
It has been proven that the Japanese bikes are more reliable and dependable than that of a Harley Davidson. They are cheaper to maintain and spend more time with the rider than in the shop.
I happily own a 2001 Vulcan Nomad 1500FI with a custom front fairing etc...I love your (former) VN2000, Dave. Great job on the video! Please come back and demo your next ride. Long live the KAW!
WOW, that seat is everything ive been looking for my 04. Do you rmb what is it called? Ive been looking for something like this but buying aftermarket parts for it is very hard this days
Thanks I’m trying to remember it came from Italy I think, Jarco springs to mind but I’ll try and check I’ve never seen one since but it was really comfortable. 👍
@@davidpaul2914 yeah i bet. I havent seen this style of feat for the VNs and let alone with that cool foldable backrest. If you ever come around with what it was i would 100% appreciate. Ty either way
I have owned 2 Harley's and 3 VN2000's, I agree that the Japanese copy many things and often improve small points and we benefit, I have never been movitated by the brand more the way it's engineered and handles, have you ever riden a VN2000? you would know what I'm talking about. Great bikes thou in my opinion.

@@markchimmy That was one of resons i switched to 1500cc much smoother ride.
I have also been riding Vulcan 1500 and it has a very short 1st gear too!👎

Is that important ?

Like the exhaust sound
I love that seat ....
That's a fkn BEAST!!!!!
Gut gross bravissemo moto . мир вашему роду .
Acho que essa moto não deve ter mais que 10 unidades aqui no Brasil, não tive a sorte de ver uma de perto!
There is one thing that I can complain about mine is that it has a short first gear.
Cool
What did you call that seat?? Really like way it does.......
Sold to someone who knows a good bike when they see one.

Mine revs 5250rpm. Rev limiter not a racer. It's a cruiser 🇭🇲
Does that seat come stock? Looks really comfortable for some long rides.
No its a corban custom seat and your right very good for long rides.
جميل جدا لاكن لم تصل إلى دوله العراق في الوقت الحالي

Hola buenos días , tiene disponible la motosicleta actualmente me interesa , gracias
Good video mate but i have to ask what is the sticker on the windscreen with the side arm on it
Lol thanks this bike was imported from America and I believe he was a vet so I decided to to leave it on.
i had to ask as im from aus and i didnt think you guys carry guns in NZ well legally anyway
There are times I wish we did, I think we live in the better part of the world in Aus and NZ for riding.
G'day mate, did you sell the bike? Cheers
Froggy NZ sold a few years ago now
@@davidpaul2914 it was a beautiful bike. Its a shame 😊

They couldn't have gone any further to copy Harley-Davidson...
