I have a 2007 Vulcan 900 .I'm 6 foot 2 and roughly 260 and it hauls me around just fine. I'm a new rider and this is my first bike.

I love my 2018 Vulcan Classic LT. Picked it up with 230 miles and 4K now after a year of riding. Great handling bike for what I want.

In my opinion the vulcan 903 is definitely a beginner motorcycle but upgrading the air intake , exhaust and tuner this will make you smile again for a while and continue enjoying your Kawasaki.

I really appreciate your viewpoint as an older gentleman. You’re very calm and collective and sharing your story about this bike has helped learn more about it.

I appreciate your video very much. Your situation resonates: I’m about to become a re-entry rider after 3 decades of not. I had a Kawasaki 305 in my early twenties, and it was then my only transportation for a few years. I’ve known since that I would eventually re-enter, and finally it’s happening…I just bought a ‘21 900 Classic LT, to be delivered later this week. I’m enrolled in a class the week after. All very similar to your story. I plan to have a slow-and-steady journey back into riding, but still somewhat nervous. Your video and narration helped affirm my decision and ease those nerves. Keep up the inspiration videos.

Bought a Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom 8 months ago as my first bike. I can't think of a best beginner bike for an adult man. I love it. Dependable, easy to work on, super comfy and plenty of power for a new rider. Highly recommended for a new rider.

Much better audio! Very informative video. Thanks for sharing, I’m so glad you are happy with your bike!

Your bike looks super sweet. Great job and thanks for the commentary and the walk around!

I have a 2012 Vulcan Classic LT. Over all it's a great bike. It just seems a little heavy at slower speeds, or when I'm backing it up out of my garage. On the highway it is a great ride.

My friend sent me this video and I'm so glad he did. This is the bike I wanted to start with, so this really hit the spot for me. I was concerned it may be to big, but it just felt like the right one. I'm signed up for the HD class next month. I'll be checking out the rest of your videos today.

Nice Video!!!!! Looking forward to following your journey. I got a 2007 Vulcan from Facebook, im new to motorcycles, scheduled my MSF class, your channel resonates with me.

Great video and I agree, The Vulcan 900 is a great beginner bike/re-entry. The balance and fueling are spot on...very easy to ride. I think you dodges a bullet with the Vulcan S. That has the same engine as the Versys 650...which I've owned both and hated both for their awful low speed twitchy throttle response. The 2012 Vulcan 900 Classic has been my favorite bike so far and considering buying another. Ride safe, sir!

Yes, much better sound quality. Watching these videos makes me miss my old stomping ground there in DB and miss having you and the family as my good neighbor buddy.

Great vid, I actually enjoyed that relaxed ride with you.

Great video! I bought a 2009 Vulcan 900 Classic LT as a re-entry bike after 25 years. Love it! I am considering adding a Vaquero or Voyager to the fleet for road trips. Right now, the 900 is perfect for 2-4 hour cruises.

I kept a V2K for 9 and 1/2 years and replaced only a $28 clutch cable. I was ready for a lighter yet road equipped Kawasaki and bought a Voyager. Kept it two years and traded it in for a 2019 road glide. I loved the road glide, but it is air cooled and in Florida, air-cooled turned out to be a BIG problem. Stator and Voltage regulator in only 8,500 miles?! No thanks. Bought a 750 shadow and bombed around for 2 1/2 years. Then, last week, I test rode a BMW R-1800, an Indian Dark Horse Chief, a Scout and decided to forget about new bikes. I'm keeping the Honda as my road tripping days were over. Well, my wife then asked "don't you miss Sadie"? Yes, I named my V2k Sadie. I then started a search for a 2024 900 Custom and couldn't find one any closer than Pelham, GA. I found Classic LT's all over the place, but I didn't want the studs and their windshield and the smaller saddlebags. I drove 178 miles to buy a 2023 VN 900b Classic. I rode it home and fell in love just tossing my leg over the seat. It was Sadie only 250lbs lighter. I'm 71, have osteoarthritis, but refuse to stop riding. This bike is just about the best vehicle choice I've ever made. I have 9 Amazon and one E-bay parcels headed my way. to answer Cage Free's question about new riders, he put it very well: if you're a mature rider and comfortable handling a motorcycle of any cc over a 250 or so, you should sit on a 900 Kawasaki. I bought it, even though I can afford just about anything out there, because it is a super nice fit my 5' 8" frame, the finish is pretty cool, the available accessories are all over the place and reasonably priced, the price from Power Ledge in Bonita Springs at $7,499 was the clincher. Ride one, if you like it, I doubt very seriously that you'll be disappointed. makes GREAT machinery. At one third the price of the HD FLTRX, I am really happy. Shiny side up folks.

I've had my 2006 Vulcan 900 Classic LT for about 4 years and had a Yamaha V-Star 1100 before that for a few years. My Vulcan has been sitting in the garage for a few years so I am also re-entering the riding space. Over the last week I've been doing some top-to-bottom maintenance to get ready for a lot of Spring and Summer rides in So Cal. It's a fun bike to ride for sure! By the way, the spring preload is accessed by taking off the seat and the left side plastic covers (bonus tip: you can check your coolant level at that time also as it's behind one of the left-hand covers) Use the factory provided wrench to adjust it and you're all set. The preload settings go from 1 to 7 as I understand it and "4" is the factory default pressure setting. New subscriber here. Happy trails!

Enjoyed your video I am looking at the Vulcan 900 for my first bike .

Looking forward to future videos.

Great video!!! 👍🏿Maaaan, I have a Vulcan 900 also. I love it. Coming from Sport bike to Cruiser bike, this was a great purchase for me. Bought mines with 4,200 miles last June, now 8,321 miles to date. I have a few videos out myself. Audio is much better from the last video.👌🏿 Ride safe, Stay safe!!💯🏍💨

I'm a 're-entry' rider, experienced but no longer require 130-150 hp fire breathing sport machines! Your video was excellent, the Vulcan 900 is, to me, very attractive and I think a reasonable choice for someone such as myself. A beginner with little experience, yes if as you mentioned they are mature and take things slow, if not perhaps a 650 V Star or 750 Honda Shadow, which I myself have considered all the way to a 2006 Yamaha Road star 1700 (only 612 lbs & gobs of grunt). At this point in time I am leaning more to the Vulcan 900 or a Suzuki S83 1400 (S83 537 lbs & gobs of grunt). Keep up the great content!

Greetings from Malaysia!! Another VN900 rider here. Had her since the end of 2018. Definitely a good beginner, gets you straight to a mid size cruiser. I learn how to ride with my VN900 with 16 apes. You won't outgrow the bike that fast and its good on long runs. It doesn't cost as much as a harley, which is good because bike stuff are expensive!! Also, I've just gone thru the whole helmet + gopro + wind noise phase. Will be uploading my vids pretty soon. Love the viking saddlebags!!

I bought a 2008 for my wife who is 72 years old and never rode a motorcycle before. She has taken to it like a duck to water. I am 66 years old 6' 5" tall and about 280 lbs. I ride a big Victory Vision Premium Tour. I have had opportunity to ride her Vulcan and it is a sweet bike, even for someone my size and a pleasure to ride around town. It is smooth, predictable, and comfortable. It has no problem running our interstates in SD, which has an 80 mph speed limit. It is a great beginners bike in my opinion. You just have to know your limitations and exercise self control. I enjoyed your video and look forward to more in the future.

Really enjoyed this video. Its the third or fourth time I've watched it. I have a 2019 LT. Its the third one that I've had. Great all around bike. Thanks for the video.

My wife has finally relented and I'm about to buy my first bike. I've never driven one myself but my dad has owned several Harleys, the Roadking and Heritage Springer. I've only ever rode on the back of one with him but I have been around them. He told me that for my first bike to not go with anything heavy like he had. Looking into the Vulcan 900 that weighs around 620 to 670 seems perfect. I have went and sat on them, haven't test drove any yet though. Scheduled to take the class in January. Your video has been very helpful as I want to do as much research as I can. So far, I'm in love with the Vulcan 😄

Great motorcycle really enjoying my one also own a suzuki 1050 xt v Strom out on my vulcan 900 today and I also put a saddleman seat on my one for two up Cheers from new Zealand

Your sound quality and video quality is outstanding

A hopeful new rider here. I came across this video because while looking for bikes to learn on locally I found a bunch of Vulcan 900s for sale at around the 5k range in price. I was told they are fine to learn on like any other bike but wanted to get other views so here i am. I have little experience on motorcycles. Unfortunately I cannot take a basic rider course where they teach you and give you a waiver for the license/endorsement. All the classes are on weekends and my job is busy on weekends so I am stuck teaching myself sadly. Thank you for the video even tho it is over a year old!

I enjoyed your video . Naturally enough I bought a low K`s Vulcan 900 Classic. I`ve had a few of them. This one I want to do a mild Bobber then attach a Ural sidecar which came with an Electra Glide. Now I want a minimalist look that`s also manageable as I`m pushing 70 now and have been riding since I was a pup . Fifty three years and I`m not ready to quit yet. So the 2011 Kwaka 900 ticks every box . Style , price , reliability , adaptability and power to weight. My shopping trolley. I like your road network too. Good riding. I think you`ve made a good choice .

loved the video, great looking bike.

Your story sounds just like me, I've been out of riding for a few years now, just made a deal on a Vulcan 900. I will admit, buying a bike made me a bit nervous, especially after being away from riding for the last few years. Your story however makes me feel that I've made a good decision. Can't wait for spring and riding weather to return. Thanks so much Cage Free Moto, great video.

I am also a re-entry rider, it's been 20 years and I'm hoping to buy a bike this week.

After extensive research I have decided on the Vulcan 900 classic LT. Looking forward to my new purchase, this will be my first bike.

It was my beginner bike in 08. I recommend it to new rider friends of mine. It was a fun bike for awhile. It was light enough and built confidence. Within a year I wanted something more and haven't turned back but have fond memories

I finally found a term that I can use, Re-Entry Rider. Thank you. Rode motorcycles in my early to late 20s, now I’m in my late 50s, and ready to ride again. I have my eye on a Vulcan 900, or, if I can afford it, an Indian Scout. Not sure which one yet.

Your breaking technic looks good here in this video.

I bought a vn800 as my first motorcycle loving it I'm a new rider

I have a 2008 candy lime green 900 custom and love it. I'm a big guy and I still feel this bike is big enough for me

I love my Vulcan 900 classic and yes ride what suits you

Great looking saddlbags on there..👍

Am happy i found this video:) i just got my vulcan 900 custom -13. Am a new biker. Just like you man, i had a scooter for 15 years ago. Never been on a bike since than.. 2 weeks ago i saw the vn900 custom and i been taken, its was the same feeling when i met my first love (hope she dont see this comment LOL). i decided to buy it, I got a connection with it ist very hard to explain man. Now i have it here in my garage :) i dont have a mc driving license yet but i been driven a car last 17 years and am really comfortable in traffic. I took the vulcan for a short test drive here in the town and it went smooth, i think i can handle it. I will traine on it before i take my license. I live in Sweden and to get the mc license is very pain in the as story.. They really make sure that you can drive before they give you the license, we have to do almost 5 different test, very low speed test with full turns, high speed test with hard braking, driving in the city and highway, they even make a start and drive on a uphill test witch is really hard for a new bikers.

I've been considering what sort of bike to get. I was thinking about a Harley, but a mate at work got me thinking about a Japanese cruiser instead. The big draw card is reliability and the huge price difference. I've been thinking along the lines of a 903 vulcan and I think you just sold me on the idea 🙂

I used to have a 900 Custom. Awesome bike. I have a Harley right now but I'm probably going back to a metric soon, I was thinking about getting one of the bigger Vulcans or Boulevards, but man idk, 1800cc's is fun and all but that 900 was one of the best bikes I've ridden. I think I got caught up in the trap of certain bikes being the "end game". Like the Vulcan was just a stepping stone to something else, but in reality it's just a motorcycle and a damn good looking (and sounding) one too. The monoshock is probably my main complaint, it'll just never be as comfy as dual shocks and my back just can't handle it, it's probably the main reason I'm looking at the bigger ones. Only reason I wouldn't suggest the Vulcan 900 for a brand spankin new rider is just because it's pretty heavy. As a reentry bike, it's probably the best lol. I do have a bit of old soul advice though that'll save you lots of headaches in the future: turn your bike off with the key, not the kill switch. Those kill switches are pretty prone to failure, but the key switch is very robust so it'll last basically forever. Also, the kick stands on these bikes are prone to failure (not that your bike will fall over, but it's more that the kill switch will randomly kill your bike when it starts failing). If you ever start getting intermittent shut downs or the bike just won't turn on, try just lifting the kick stand up a bit more. I kept a hair tie with me to hold it up and it was good to have, because I needed it haha. Thanks for the video man, it was pretty good. I liked and sub'd.

Hi, new rider and new viewer. I am 36, 5'9 and about 180 lbs. Aside from taking a motorcycle safety training course in spring 2022, I have nearly zero riding experience. I recently inherited some money from my grandmother, and I used some of it to buy my first ever bike, a 2011 Vulcan 900 Custom Special Edition. I only got to ride it a couple times before I had to park it for the winter, but the little scoots around town I did felt great! Couldn't take it on the highway due to the front tire having some dry rot so I can't attest anything there, but for in town for a brand new rider with about 20 years driving experience in vehicles, I find the Vulcan 900 to be a good beginner bike. I really look forward to spring when I can bring her out, replace the front tire and fork seals and do an oil and coolant change and then spend all my free time riding it and hopefully quickly getting my class 6. Mine is the satin black paintjob with the red stripe up the middle and around the wheel beads and the black exhaust system. It has chrome drag handlebars and a set of black crash bars and only 6150 kms on it so pretty much brand new. I'm very fortunate to own such a nice bike and I look forward to spending many hours on it

Very nice bike similar to my old Yamaha v-star 950. Perfect size bike

After about a 25 year layoff from riding, I returned back in 2016 on a '09 Vulcan 900 Classic. Since then I've traded up & down to a Concours, 900RSCafe and now Versys 1k. Sure wish I would have kept that Classic.

Hopefully I'm buying my very 1st bike,and I've been checking out the Vulcan 900,and I've seen a lot of good reviews on it..I drive a truck for a living and I see people doing stupid stuff all the time..I know riding a bike your pretty much invisible but it's been a childhood dream of mine to ride and own a nice motorcycle..at this point I feel as though I need to do this for myself..at least I can say I gave it my best shot..I think the Vulcan is a beautiful machine..and I can't wait to pick one out...

Love my 900 classic

Getting ready to get the same bike in March. Haven't rode since the 1980s I know riding is something I really want to do. I'm a little nervous but determined all the same.

Also I like the classic style bars too but I have the dragster bars on my custom

I have a 2011 vn900 50,000 miles nothing has broken that I didn't brake ! been from san luis obisbo to canada and all around in between ! the vn900 is a great bike ! don't care what anyone says , I know it is ! watched ride like a pro and front loaders, great info about riding skills ! had a 74 CB 750 k in 1984 road it 1,000s of miles ! then in 2015? I seen ride like a pro and learned how to ride better ! roed grooves put a 200 tire ( it just barely fit stock , but it fits )on the back it is like night and day with the road grooves ! I put front and rear pulleys ( I was very disappointed with the low gearing ) and the 200 tire ( they will not change my tires at the dealer ,modified , I bring the new tire and the wheel in then they mount it ) the real speed is 5 mph over what the speedo says and it is like one gear higher ! also put highwayman headers and bigger air cleaner and fuel management !

Nice video, and what a beautiful day for a ride! Are you in the US, or somewhere in the North Hemisphere? I'm curious about the temp and your jacket. Would you share details about it? I'm looking for a light jacket for late summer rides. I do have an ugly mesh jacket, but unless it's over 85 F, I feel I really need something else, a bit thicker, with vents. My leather jacket is too much for that. Anyway, thanks for sharing!

Nice job on the video. You said that in your previous riding days braking was a problem. How is your 900 seeing how it doesn't have ABS'

My first bike ever at the age of 62. I took the course in Sept of this year. 2009 Classic with a little over 20k miles on it. Before the class I had only rode 3 other times. A Honda 350, a Honda 125 and a Kawasaki 650 and that was the extent of my riding. At first I thought it was going to be too big, but now I'm riding the heck out of it. I live in northern California where it's a lot of open space. I love the bike but I think that I might need a little more. I'm not sure yet of what I'm going to do yet. I haven't rode anything else yet. But as a first bike, I certainly handled it.

Can you please share which viking saddle bags you purchased. Thank you

I ride a Vulcan 900 Custom my first bike. Great bike! Could use some more power and a sixth gear! Other wise so sexy

bought my 900 vulcan classic new in 2009. was comfortable and fun. started riding in 1991.my current bike is also comfortable and fun(2019 kawasaki zx14r). 52 now with no plans to stop riding. i also started on a 250 but mine was a honda rebel 250. then went to a suzuki gs500e, katana 600, gsxr 750, rf900r, gsxr 1100, gsxr 750 again, vulcan 900 classic, katana 600 again and now a zx14r. i went up in stages and got used to each bike. even after 2 years this zx14r still scares the crap out of me. it is slightly modified and has 198 rear wheel horsepower but i always just say it has 200.

I'm an old Harley man I have had 10 Harley's and 2 Indian chiefs (A 46 & a 48). I would buy this Kawasaki 900 over a stock sportster. I have never had a sportster but just looking at the two the kawasaki is more like what I ride.

I'm technically a beginner. The last bike I had was a '78 Honda 350 back in HS about 35 years ago. I bought and over paid for a 2022 Vulcan 900. Nice bike but it's a bit heavy for a beginner. Hindsight I would have gone with a 650 in something else even if it was a crotch rocket. I'm having a stability test done on it tomorrow along with a speedometer test. Everyone is telling me I'm going 10 mph less than what my speedometer says. Plus I'm really bouncy on the freeway and there's still a lot of vibration in the handle bars when I try to take it up. I'm still trying not to get blown off the back of the bike because of the force of the wind hitting my chest. I don't feel safe going faster than 60-65 and according to the people clocking my speed that's 50-55. Just not a freeway bike which is a bit disappointing because in order to get to those beautiful back roads where I live I have to take the freeway. So I'll be letting this one go soon and searching for something that I can enjoy riding a bit more. Great video! I'm glad you're enjoying it!

YES ... safety course will improve your skills. I think it's a good choice. I own a Shadow VT1100C as my first bike; been riding it since 2011. Would like a Goldwing but $$$$.

I see you are now riding harley davidson roadking ? I am about to purchase Vulcan 900 Classic LT. Your genuine openion is highly appreciated. I am 5'6 and 155lb

Great video. Be great to hear about accessories, things you bought for it, brands, prices etc. Gopro which model, how hard was it to attach to the helmet, length of video time available for it. The phone mount, which brand, likes, dislikes. Crash bars, which model etc. Would be good to know outfit you prefer to ride with, gloves etc, brands, etc. You mentioned LED light, which brand, cost to install, diy or shop installed etc. Year model of bike, price etc, thoughts on the 900 versus the upgrade to the 2000 if you ever thought about doing that. You mentioned bag's, what brand again, and price paid, diy or shop.install. pipes, do you want to upgrade them etc? Gas mileage for your bike and how far you get on one tank etc? Love the drives and the discussion, very calming. When you took the msf course did you get physically sire after that first day? I sure did. New rider, 62, really wanted it but passed first day, second day body said no. So have to try again later. Already have the 900, but its a garage queen for now.

Just passed my class, have my permit, and I think I’m picking up a 900 custom this next week. Waiting on the waiver to turn in for my license.

Hi there brother, Im a new owner of a badass 2008 Vulcan 900 custom. I have a question that I am actively asking around to get some feedback from multiple inputs. I was watching as you initially shifted from neutral into 1st gear. I think I saw it. Do you get AND is it normal to get a "clunk" when going into 1st gear from neutral from start-up and also from a stop after driving a bit?? I hear that this distinctive "clunk" is normal even in HD's

I just bought my first bike in about 12 years (I'm 36) and it is this bike. I did some riding yesterday for the first time and it's so comfortable and I like the power, but, I am concerned it is too big for me. I'm female, about 5'6"/175 and somewhat muscular. I found it hard at some points to make turns (maybe I just need a TON of practice), and I live in a more city-like setting. What are your thoughts? I really do love how comfortable and smooth the bike is. I wanted something that would last me, as opposed to having to keep climbing from a 250, then up like I did in my younger days.

Please tell me about the Viking bags, which model

Sire beutifole motor bike care your drive and god blees you.

If you want to improve your engine install Cobra exhaust & k&n air filter.

So many compliments on the audio quality, did nobody watch with headphones? 😅 Sound only comes out from the left.

Looking at a 09 Vulcan 900 classic LT . Beginner here, 60 years old. Did you take the windshield off or did it not come with one ?

Good video man! I have a 2019 900 LT model that I bought after riding a Boulevard C50T for years. I love this bike and I agree with everything you said. I like looking at the scenery as people ride. Makes me feel more connected. I'd like to know how you dealt with the wind noise while recording. My setup is so sensitive that I can't even hear my voice for the wind noise. I even stopped recording because of the frustration.

Looks like the audio (mic) is set to mono. I only have sound in my left ear (headset). Just a friendly tip. I like the bike a lot.

That's a good looking bike

Hey! What LED light bulb did you use?

Beginner or not… love the bike. Although will say, first thing you should do is get rid of those stock Dunlop tires… after that it’s smooth sailing!

Hey, is that Arabian red? If so, same as mine. I've taught several people to ride motorcycles, and I have been riding for a really long time. I got my Vulcan last March and I'm loving it (900 standard). However, I'd never use this to teach a new rider or recommend it for somebody new to motorcycling. It's extremely heavy and has extremely wide handlebars. My first parking lot on the initial test drive tested my abilities -- I was okay, but woe unto somebody who doesn't already have experience. Lots of reviewers say this is good for beginners, so maybe I'm weird. I can live with that ...

I wouldn't call it a "beginner bike". It is a great bike to start on though. Light, low center of gravity, and controllable power. It can also last you forever as it can do everything a bigger bike can do. I've been riding for 15 years and I'm thinking about buying this bike to add to my stable. Light cruisers are great bikes. I've owned cruisers with engines from 650 all the way up to 1900. I would never buy a 650 again though. Only exception being the Vulcan 650. Vulcan 650 is a special bike. Cross breed between a cruiser and sport bike.

Hello , mi name is Antonio de Ourense moy bo video sigue asi

I think a beginner motorcycle within reason of course should be the one you ultimately want otherwise what’s the point yk? Have it for like a few months before you get the one you truly want might as well get comfortable on it from the beginning practice makes perfect on whatever you get

Sorry didn’t get it….wanted a review of the bike not “your” story. You come across as a nice guy

wow!!!

Enjoyed your video! Can you share your thoughts on the Saddleman seat? How many hours can you spend in the saddle before you really need to get off?

I have an 08 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 custom will not take throttle put it in the shop they charged me $1,000 and did not can't figure out why it won't take it has 25,000 miles it will not take falls on its face new fuel pump twice new injectors new damn near everything still can't get it to take throttle any idea what it might be

Good video. Kwai make a reliable bike. Had 3 but not this one.

I have more fun alone ! when I'm with someone I always worry that they are not having a good time !

Ha ha.. I went some 30+ years without riding.. went from a Suzuki 425 some 30+ years ago. . I "reentered" onto a Harley Davidson Heritage Classic. Sold it recently, thinking about getting the Vulcan 900 Classic LT.

What kind of bags are those

I'm not American, so I need to ask about those lime green figures in the street at 1:20. Because it scared the crap out of me at first. I thought it was a kid on the street :-) But are they just decorative for some reason or are they legitimate traffic flow devices? Pardon my ignorance.

I too am getting back to riding. I’m 63, 210. Why is this an entry level bike? Can it be a keeper? Maybe this bike is too mild for me. I should look at the Nomad or a Honda VTX1300.

What is the real difference of vulcan classic & vuclan custom?

It's NOT a beginner bike I've owned five bikes a beginner bike is like a Honda 500 the Vulcan is 600 lb it's a heavy bike lighter than the Softail I had but it's not a beginner bike I have the 2012 Vulcan 900 LT with Vance pipes Mustang seat triple headlight better grips Chrome that are upgrades

Ah The Vulcan ... Before buying a harley I almost took a Vulcan ... But in the end, on advice from friends, I stayed on Harley Davidson and I do not regret my choice ... so cult :)

I definitely don’t think that a $10,000 nearly 700 pound motorcycle is a beginner bike! It is too limited to really explore what riding is all about. My Suzuki TUx 250 is a great all around bike. It can do some easy off stuff, is great in the city, is great at playing the curves on a back road, and can even do some touring. My wife and I took a couple 1000+ mile trips on mine while my leg was healing from surgery. My Vulcan is great for what it does, tooling down the road at a moderate speed in relative comfort. But there is a lot more to riding than that. A small light weight bike allows a new rider to explore every aspect of riding, something a big heavy cruiser really can’t.

Definitely not a newbie machine. Of course the Industry sees changes sometimes. An example is back in the day, some of the 750's were superbikes. Years later, the Class was toned down and promoted as a starter Bike. And then riders are different.

How are the bars?

4:20 mark. Finally something like content related to the video title. This is no way to get views or subscribers. Will mark again when the relevance of the Vulcan 900 to the title is mentioned. 9:50 mark Finally starts talking about the Vulcan and reentry riders, not really beginners. This video does not deliver on the title. Stay safe out on the roads.

Winchell on or off? Pros and cons.

Didn't stop at stop sign , bad rider , good review I guess

Actually starts talking about the bike @ 8:50.

100% much better 😉...
