    I have had Harleys, Yamahas and Suzukis.
    My 900 VN classic is a very good handling bike with excellent power for up hills and picking up on the road.
    It is a good bike for the money.
    No real heavy weight to move around either

    I have enjoyed riding my VN900 since the day I bought it & it got even better when I put a Mustang Seat on it.
    My wife & I did a 2700 klm round trip in march this year & it performed flawlessly, even cruising at 120 kph (Newell highway, do the speed or get flattened) we still got 20 klms a litre & all this with two 40 litre panniers & an 80 litre sissy bar bag.
    I will say that being 6'4" tall putting 4" risers under the handlebars made a huge difference, especially when doing U turns, no more ja ...

    I have the kawasaki vn900 custom with extras. It goes great but also have scootworks front pulley which enables comfortable 110-120kph(70-75mph) cruising. I am 5'7'' so bike is just right. Have achieved 62 mpg on several occasions. Planning 8000klm trip around and through central Australia in August 09 with 4 mates (2 cruisers+ 2 BMW's). Might buy rear pulley before I go to cruise at 130k's (80MPH) for long distances (600k's plus). Can carry 150 litres of ventura bags with all camping gear. Have ...

    Great easy to ride bike. I was a novice, spent 12 months on a small 250 cc Virago, and the transitiion to the Kawasaki VN900 has been "non frightening" A pleasurable experience.

    The Kawasaki VN900 Classic is very comfortable. Has lots of torque and looks great.
    me and the wife love it to bits.it just takes ages to get out the garage!

    I have had a classic for coming up to 3 years. 12,000 miles
    the finish is still impeccable, 100% reliable absolutely nothing has gone wrong and rides exactly as it was when new.
    My only gripe is it is too economical. 60+ MPG for a 900cc bike is silly. They could have swapped some of the fuel economy for extra BHP.

    Kawaksaki VN900 looks good, rides well and is predictable in the area of handling . I would recommend this bike to someone just getting into a cruiser before moving up to a bigger bike for the touring big k's. excellent stability, torque , fuel economy and power for 900cc bike great middle weight cruiser. Just did 2200 k's down to superbikes and didn't miss a beat. Great around town, comfortable riding position and easier to navigate around tight spots than the bigger cruisers.

    Had my VN900 Classic now for two week, it's worth every penny. It's a cruiser and does what a cruiser should, cruise.
    I can highly recommend it...

    When I was going to buy the VN900, I had a few bikes in mind, icluding: Suzuki C50, Yamaha XVS1100, Triumph America and Harley Sporsters 883, they are similar bikes really.
    The reasons why I chose the VN900 is because it has every good points.
    Belt drive, great looking, good on fuel, suits me perfectly, fuel injected, plenty of power for cruising, easy to handle, not too big but not too small.

    Best buy for value - cost. Smooth and easy to handle, good response on the throttle, low consumption, great eye catching classic look.

    I like the bike a lot had a 1600 tourer before to heavy, you can really dress the bike up lots of extras out there, have read about the Overdrive pulleys and they say they make a hell of a difference if you go to scootworks they have got a nice write up on it.

    I passed my test on a 125 Suzuki Intruder and soon realised that although the little Intruder was a lovely bike at times you needed just a little more power to get you out of trouble (you know the times I mean when your overtaking some slow driver at 50mph and then they speed up with the rest of the nearside lane closing up behind them and you ' ve now got cars trying to get up your exhaust pipe).So I searched around and picked up a 2007 Classic of EBay then brought her back to Cornwall and had ...

    The Kawasaki VN900 is a hell of a lot of bike for the money! I paid 5000 ukp for a brand one. I have now had the bike 2 years and still love it. I will say it does need a sixth gear. I overcame this problem to some extent by getting a smaller rear pulley from Scootworks. USA. this causes no problems 1st gear because the whole gear range is too low. I also added Cobra Slashdowns and a Power Commander. She now leaves Harleys looking really sad. Fuel economy is 60 miles to the uk gallon, the best I ...

    Overall a very good bike for the money. It is a great beginner bike. It has great classic bike looks. With a new exhaust and a fuel management box you can get a lot more power. I found a lot of accessories on the internet for mine. I would recommend this bike to anyone wanting a good easy to ride bike that won't break the bank.

    I had bought the bike in the first part of May and the dealer sold/ordered a mustang sissy bar for me... Well they told me it is back ordered first it would be 2 weeks, then the end of May, end of June, and now in augast. Whats up with that the rideing season will be ending in early sept and no idea if what i bought and paid for will be in by then.
