MotoUSA Review: 2011 Kawasaki Vulcan Vaquero

Motorcycle USA gets a chance to log more miles on Kawasaki's new bagger, so we threw it on the dyno, the scale, and tracked mileage as we logged more riding impressions.

Hey gambietti The Victory's are a sweet bike too

I have found that if you ride in the overdrive gear, you increase your gas mileage. And yes, also a better mileage on the highways. There is a very good YouTube review which compares the Vaquero with the H-D Road Glide. And for the record, you can usually get the Vaquero well below the sticker price. Pull up prices from CycleTrader and show them to your local dealer.

@spinnermc1 thanks, I do love the styling but the cross country is an amazing bike too

@DelrayDrifter thanks for the info!

@gambietti No comparison Harley outdated overpriced and high maintenace price even an oil change I was thinking same comparism VAQUERO all the way u wont regret it

@gambietti should be less than 22g for 2012. the base model now comes with a 103. i bought a 103 in 2011. best decision i ever made. i went into the purchase leaning towards harley because i love long distance riding but im only 24 and cant be seen on a goldwing yet haha. the main argument agains harley is that they r air cooled. a guy at work has a goldwing and he was letting it idle in his driveway it was about 35 degrees and the temp gage was pegged to hot. basically all bikes are air cooled

I own a Vaquero, in black... Great bike!... But I have yet to get "200 miles to the tank". That must be highway mileage. And if you ride without a helmet, you will definately want to add the 14" windshield. The wind noise is bad without a helmet or windshield. Other than that- love the bike!

[gambietti]

love the look of this bike and price point is good. I have to ride one...tough choice between this, a street glide(103) and cross country. Only got to ride the street glide so far and man did that exceed expectations! I loved it but $22g sticker is steep! Any opinions?
