Kawasaki reviews

1200cc of torque to the street, Smooth turns, sold response - Super Power response ZZR1200 arrived with a mildly bewildering split personality: part 145-horsepower cruise missile, part comfy long-haul sport-tourist. Was it a kinder, gentler ZX-12R or a slimmed-down Concours with anger-management issues? Both, actually, which is hardly a bad thing if you slow down long enough to think about it. After that, this one runs as fast as physics and the local constabulary will allow. Kawasaki figured a stronger, more comfortable version of the beloved ZX-11 would bury entrenched 'Bahnstormers like the Ducati ST4S and Triumph Sprint ST under an onslaught of sweet handling and Japanese horsepower. Especially when it cost about $5000 less. Adding 3mm more bore and a 1.6mm longer stroke bumped displacement to 1164cc. And those horses arrive in methodical fashion from idle to 6000 rpm, followed by an eyeball-flattening stampede from 8000 to the 145.2-bhp peak at 9750. That's stronger than Honda's CBR1100XX or an equivalent Suzuki GSX-R1000. Those ponies live in a stout twin-spar aluminum chassis, complete with a steel subframe designed to carry a passenger and the optional Givi hard luggage. Roomy, upright ergos are more humane than a ZX-11's, and the 609-lb. 1200 still covered the quarter-mile in 10.12 seconds at 136.9 mph. Land Rocket Show less

The 903cc V-twin powered Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Line models have all the style and attitude of a one-of-a-kind build. From the detailed paint job to the intense exhaust, Vulcan 900 machines are an artful expression of individuality. Enjoy the dynamic fusion of hand-built design and premium fit and finish—a tantalizing combination that could only come from Kawasaki. With a presence that’s larger than its name, the Vulcan® 900 Classic out performs many big heavyweight cruisers, while its classic stance, rich paint and stylish spoke wheels remain true to the traditional classic cruiser.

Excellent motorcycle has the same engine as the Ninja 650, it has good acceleration ! Has a low seat height less than 28 inches. Both feet on the ground. Has a button on left hand grip to blink the headlight let people know your coming. Fun to ride adjustable suspension an excellent first bike. Low weight 500 pounds yet enough power that you will not have to trade after learning to ride. Show less

I love this motorcycle, but now too old to ride it safely with the arthritis I have, so I need to sell. Low mileage at 8,700. Excellent condition and alway garage parked, never wreaked. AWSOME red/silver color combination. Show less

The first ride on this bike for me was transformative. I have never experienced anything so raw, so pure. The sound of the engine, the engine braking and acceleration. The way you throw it into a corner and the bike says “ what else ya got”? It breaks all speed limits in first gear, but a light hand, will result in 45 mpg. In the age of electrification, for better or worse, this is glorious analog and fossil fuel burning to the highest and finest degree. Show less

Bike was ridden last year and was perfectly fine. Fairings need a little bit of work with the side lights. Bike is solid just under 26k miles. Bike was own buy me for very little time. will take best offer to. Show less

Ive owned 5 bikes. This KV 900 LT is my FAVORITE! I put a mustang seat with drivers back rest, then took the leather off the rivets and put 2 inch thick honey comb jell pad (cut custom seat shape) then re-rivet the leather and its like Im sitting on a couch. I also put 2"inch riser on the handlebar (bringing them back toward me and and a little up) OOOH so Comfortable. put cobra pipes on, triple headlight, passenger platforms, upgraded grips, replaced leather bags with hard bags that I custom painted the two tone black/midnight blue with pin stripe - I DID IT PERFECT it matchs and LOOKS AWESOME - because I put LED flashers on the back of the hard bags, ars SEE MY BIKE at the stops. The bike only weighs 620lbs so it easier to handle than a big 950lb harley. AND does not shake/vibrate, its counter balanced, rubber mounted engine, fuel injected, water cooled, belt driven - all for a SMOOTH ride! OK it does not fly off the start its only 53 horse, it does seem to top out at 80mph, but for the cost, comfort and reliability - you'll never get me off my Vulcan 900 LT - GREAT bike! Show less
