A new rider perspective on the Kawasaki Vulcan 500 LTD...
Because of my size, I had been skeptical about the pulling power of its 500cc motor. Most $ales people had tried to steer me to the 750 or 800. I'm glad I stuck with the "little" Vulcan. Lighter, cheaper, easier to manuever and - believe me - PLENTY of punch even with a 200-pounder aboard! Pulling away from the first red light on my way home, I was immediately impressed by the effortless acceleration available with this [motorcycle] in 1st and 2nd gears. It has the same water-cooled inline twin powerplant as the Ninja 500 sportbike, although tuned more for cruising. |
