2009 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Classic - Of the four bikes I’ve owned this was the worst.
I bought it ‘new’, insanely cheap in 2012 as a leftover. Had the little brother Vulcan 900 prior and then I got the ‘need a bigger bike’ bug. Should have never gotten rid of the bullet proof 900...the 1700 was bulky heavy, the transmission was clunky and the engine stuttered when accelerating. Had it back to the dealer a couple times and was told ‘that’s just the way they run’.
Traded it in on the CB1100 and the rest is history.
