The ride on this bike is much nicer then the 800 classic. I feel fewer bumps on the road, and the ride is easier to handle. Even for my size, I don't feel it is too big for me, yet it still would be big enough for someone around 6'0"... read more

I was not into the whole retro thing, until I rode this bike. It is nimble, quick and just molds to you. Kawasaki has really got the mix of modern and old school down pat. I am fully impressed with this bike and plan to have it for a long time...... read more

What a great looking motorcycle. I'm a new rider and it's got enough power for me. That bike will do over 80 all day. The look is just great. For the money it's a great buy. You get a lot for your buck. You can ride this bike all day and night no problem. The only thing I don't like is no fuel gauge.... read more

This 800 Drifter is a super clean bike. With hardchrome pipes and rejetting it runs and sounds great. There's lots of power! It's a dream come true for me. It looks great with bags, a windshield, and full seat.... read more

Have owned my Drifter for about 5 months now and couldn't have asked for a better bike. I love the Indian look and yet it still has a style all its own. I have shown it twice already and took second in the imports on one show and took best of show in the other. The bike is a looker.... read more

I love my drifter. It is the perfect size, not too big or heavy for a female who wants to ride. My first bike ever was a 1985 honda shadow vt750. The drifter is like riding a cadilac compared to that. I've had other bikes, but not one this cool looking or fun to ride. The only thing that I have a problem with... read more
I love my drifter. It is the perfect size, not too big or heavy for a female who wants to ride. My first bike ever was a 1985 honda shadow vt750. The drifter is like riding a cadilac compared to that. I've had other bikes, but not one this cool looking or fun to ride. The only thing that I have a problem with is it seems to bounce a little, but I'm hoping it's just the tires.
