Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 Mean Streak reviews

The Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom is one of the sturdiest cycles on the road. The power to weight ratio is great. It’s a sold bike. Other than oil changes and tire replacements, the only maintenance I’ve done in 45,000 miles is change out the stator, which was very easy to do. The fuel injection is a huge benefit. I get 50-52 mpg on the highway. And the Kawasaki comes with a fuel gauge on the console so there’s no having to do math to figure out when to fuel up, a feature left of other makes of bikes. The fuel cap is placed at the uppermost part of the tank so there’s no spilling onto the paint job or tank bag whereas many makes put it in the middle of the tank. I’m on my third Kawasaki Vulcan 900 after putting 60k on one bike and 45k on the second. For a guy 5’ 6’’ and 175 pounds, it’s the perfect size and handling. And adding a passenger doesn’t bog it down. I ride it year around. I have plugin heated jacket and gloves for the 40 degree weather. Other than in rain or snow, I’m on the bike. It handles cold and hot weather almost the same. This bike is one fine cruiser. Show less

Been Riding since my youth. My 2004 Vulcan 1500 sports a newer dual Cobra exhaust eliminating the catalytic converter. it has the Fi2000 fuel injector tuner. A brand new battery, new tires, headlight, rear turn signals and windshield. This has been my pride and joy and as such I take care of my vehicles. A great ride never has let me down. Just a little up there in age now to ride most comfortably. The only reason for selling! Show less

What a great machine. It's light, fast easy to ride and extremely reliable. This bike was made for everyone, beginners and advanced riders looking for a lighter easy to handle bike. The bike let's you cruise at low speeds and also it let's enjoy the adrenaline rush when reved up to 12k rpm. This bike can do it all. It shares the same 650cc liquid cooled engine from kawasaki ninja so the more you rev it the happier and faster it gets. And did I mention it stays sturdy and planted at 100mph no shakes no wabble. I highly recommend giving it a test ride. You won't be disappointed. Show less

My Kawasaki 900 Custom began as my "first bike" but 4 or 5 years later it's proven to be so much more. It's a great daily driver when weather permits, surprisingly nimble for it's size and weight, and damn reliable. It won't set any land speed records, but it has enough haul to get the job done. I'm a big fan. Show less

The bike rides nice and smooth. This is the carburated version. Very low miles. Comes with big saddlebags and nice helmet. The driver backrest makes a huge difference. The pipes are very throaty. Driveshaft give it a smooth ride anf easy shifting. Show less

The 903cc V-twin powered Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Line models have all the style and attitude of a one-of-a-kind build. From the detailed paint job to the intense exhaust, Vulcan 900 machines are an artful expression of individuality. Enjoy the dynamic fusion of hand-built design and premium fit and finish—a tantalizing combination that could only come from Kawasaki. With a presence that’s larger than its name, the Vulcan® 900 Classic out performs many big heavyweight cruisers, while its classic stance, rich paint and stylish spoke wheels remain true to the traditional classic cruiser.
