Have any of you 800 owners upgraded to the 900? I just wondered how they compared in ride, comfort, power, etc?
By the way, thanks so much for the kind responses I received after posting about my uncle's death about two weeks ago (A Country Ride).

your welcome.
i cant tell you about the upgrade, i went from nothing to a 1500. mainly becasue i was going to be riding 2 up most of the time.
im also a bigger is better thinking guy
2001 Black Mustang GT
2005 Phantom Silver 1500 Classic
Royal Purple synthetic oil in both
I checked out the 900 but I can't say it made me reach for my wallet. The belt drive is nice, but otherwise I prefer my 800. That rear brake pedal is just about the most ridiculous thing I've seen on a bike. Could they have made it any bigger? It's like they pulled it out of an old Chevy truck.
Formerly 2003 Vulcan 800 Classic. Then 1996 GPZ 1100. Now 2007 Vulcan 900 Custom.
I think that most 800 owners would not consider the 900 much of an upgrade and would instead move up to something more substantive. I do believe that most 1st time bike buyers may find the 900 attractive.
1999 Vulcan Classic 1500
V&H Longshots w/quiet baffles
Stage 1 jet and K&N
Progressive springs
F&S Lightbar and Memphis shades Slim
Rigid bags w/Easy Bracket mounting system
I'm not considering upgrading to either bike but the 800 is a much better value at $1000 less.
If they put a 21 inch tire on the front, and a carb on the intake, I might consider the 900.![]()
