  7. New Kawaski owner

    Picked up a '12 Kawaski Vulcan 900 Classic Special Edition last week. This is my 3rd bike in just over 2 years. I started on an '81 Yamaha Virago 750 and then went to a '95 Honda Shadow 600. Very happy with my purchase. Big fuel tank and fuel injection is great! -Patrick
