Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic

I love my motorcycle. I previously had been riding my father's Harley Davidson Heritage Softtail Classic but found it's weight nearly unbearable, not to mention the tension in the clutch lever required some muscle and usually left my arm throbbing. After some thought and consideration I decided it best to give my inherited HD back to my stepmother and I went shopping for another bike. I ended up with a Kawasaki VN900 Classic. I no longer feel like I need to lower my bike (I'm 5'4" so a good fit comes hard). The lever tension is great, the reach is perfect... but better yet, I no longer feel like the bike rules me, I rule it. It's just as big as the heritage was, but it's about 400 - 500 pounds lighter which makes it easier for me to maneuver. There are still some modifications that I'd like to make to the break pedal for comfort purposes, but I'm fine with it. Overall, it's a smooth ride that I can enjoy for miles and miles.
