Hi

I’ve been looking to come back to bike for a while and was considering a Harley, when I came across the Vulcan 1600 Normad at a bike show and thought what a cool bike. My problem is that I’m 6ft 4in and need to try the bike out to see if it’s OK, but the small numbers imported into the UK means that its not possible to test ride a Vulcan. I’m concerned that the pulled back bars may make the bike too uncomfortable for me – ie make me lean back too far. The only bikes that I tried out are Harley’s – Road King (OK), Fat Boy (Great) and V-Rod (pain in the ****). So any 6 footers out there who can help out with advise would be great!

I'm 6'3" & can tell you that floorboards can feel a bit confining, depending on inseam. I prefer the pegs of the Mean Streak. Real comfortable. If there are any used Nomads in your area, perhaps the dealer will let you take it out for a spin. Do a Google search for used bikes. Otherwise, almost all people are in love with their Nomads. They're awesome.
Ride safely
