Hi all this is my first post, been lurking for a while now but thought I'd join in.
I ride an '07 Kawi Vulcan 900 Classic and can't recommend this bike highly enough! I have 2 friends that have them (one is a custom) and one that just got rid of his Suzuki C50 to convert to the dark side as well.

I finally had to fill my gas tank last night on my bike. I kept track of the mileage and gas use to get an honest reading of my fuel mileage.
I am actually getting 57 mpg!!! I'm thrilled! Now granted 80% of my riding is highway so Its probably less in town, but I don't live in town!

Now the trick is to figure out a heater and snow tires.....
