I saw a kawasaki cruiser type bike for sale. was almost brand new, and was for a very reasonable price. i think like 10k or less. 2004.

i've seen some before that look really good with a little bit of money. My cousin may be getting one of those, i was just trying to get input on how the engine and the bike is overall.

Any input will be appreciated, thanks.

I cant personally vouch for vulcans. I am sure they are nice bikes, shaft drive and all. Very smooth and what not, if thats what your looking for. 10k is alot, unless its a touring style bike (like a goldwing).

Do you know what model exactly....???? Kawasaki engines are bullet proof..!! Very realiable machines IMHO.

Goto motorcycle.com and read the reviews.

i'd just like to say that kawasaki cruisers blow very hard. if youre into jap cruisers... all i can say is invest in a honda...now that is some bullet proof engineering for you.

The Kawasaki Mean Streak is my favorite cruiser, but kinda expensive......

That one you can design yourself? I saw that on TV and I thought that was badass. I'd like to own one.

very nice bike it is,, but its really big and looks super heavy.. lots of different fenders and things you can have them put on it

I was thinking when I get another bike, getting an R1 but after seeing that bike I've also wanted a cruiser so I may have to check that one out when the time comes.

liter bikes are more expensive than the smaller bikes,,,

fuel, and tires dont last quite as long, esp. under hard riding conditions..

Saw a shaft drive VTX the other day. Had a neat looking front end with a realy swoopy tank with this wimpy look rear tire, not to mention shaft drive looks a little off to me. Looked realy wierd.
