Hello Kawi riders, nice community you have here.
The last few weeks I've been eying up the very attractive Vulcan 900 Classic LT in the two tone Pearl Crystal White/Metalic Titanium... in my opinion, the most beautiful bike in it's class. I've only been reading good things about her all over the web and fastball's Why I'm Keeping My 900 thread speaks for itself. I'm seriously thinking about buying one.
However, the dealer also had a very nice, slightly used 07 Vulcan 2000 Classic LT at a tempting price (same colour and everything - still looked brand new!). I'm about 165 and would be riding solo. From the sounds of it, the 900's got enough power torque to be a great commuter, and realistically that's what I'd be using it for 80% of the time. However, I am really looking forward to a trip down to Florida next year from Ottawa, ON. Taking my time and taking in all the sights. I do also spend about 4 hours/week on the highway when I'm at home. And lets face it, riding the big 2 liter does make you sit a little taller in the saddle. :mrgreen:
The Valkyrie I used to ride was just the right weight for me at the time. Mind you the V2K is 58lb heavier and I'm not nearly in the same shape I was 10 years ago...
I think the answer is clear, it's just that this young rottweiler doesn't want to admit he's actually an aging lab...
2000 LT or 900 LT ?
Careful how you answer. Be gentile with my fragile ego. :wink:
