An interesting comment there. I've got the N1k and it's quite nice 2 up. I've had a couple ladies on there with me now and it seems to be holding well with them up to about 160 or so. What's so bad about the 9 that it doesn't like real women?
160... MPH, KMP or lbs? LOL
LOL, seeing as the N1k tops out at 154mph before the computer says no. It would be Pounds, I'm a big guy so I like girls with meat.160... MPH, KMP or lbs? LOL
That bike is not a bike to ride 2 up more than a quick ice cream run. My wife is 1/2 Portuguese... that end up to be the bottom half fortunately

hmm, she have a sister?My :real woman: weighs 105. Perfect
If you enjoyed the S40.. have you looked at the C50? I checked one out here before getting the 6R.. seemed pretty nice.. never got to riding it though. Seemed little big on me
You had an S40 too didnt you? I have seen them, its a nice looking bike, same with the M50 which I think is pretty much the same just modern look instead of the classic look. They are 800cc and for about the same price I figured I might as well go up to a 9 or 950. And I just don't see as many used ones around here. hasn't been ruled out though. Gotta find someone to buy my S40 first. What did you get for yours, year/milage?
You are a good best friend to have then! I think my only options to upgrade the sport bike one day are the fz1 or the kawi 1000 which I believe both are upright. My back would not be good with the lay down types. I sat on a Ducati Diavel I think at the show and man that was comfy for me so id that to the list but Im not sure which model or how many millions the run. I don't see that at any point in the future right now though. Eventually id like to replace my cruiser with a can am spyder.
Yep.. sold mine for.... $2700 with 9128 miles. (posted it for $2800)
what year was it? You ever double up on it? it runs fine not like its a power issue its just small. I mean I am too but would like something a bit bigger. I am asking 3500 obo for mine, its a 2009 with 3850 miles. it also has the sissy bar back rest, saddle bags, removeable windscreen and grips.
I be the one to give you the bad news on this one. The Vulcan 900 has a lot less balls than your 600. The motor on the 900 has a good amount of toque but has a lot less horse power. If you want a V-twin bike then you will want something at least 1300cc IMHO. Especially for 2 up riding.
i appreciate the advice, i dont think the vulcan could have less balls than my suzuki 650 though?? less than the FZ6R of course, only cruiser i have ridden that had any speed was the vrod. But i will have the FZ6R for me as my main ride and then the vulcan for taking my wife and kid around. How about the shadows? i really like them but figured if im going to move up might as well go more than 100 cc.
That's a good deal. Mine was 09 as well. I put dyna muffler on and had her tuned.
You should look up the hp and tq specs for the vulcan it's considerably less than the 650 motor on the bike you are talking about.
