Hey guys, wanted to get some feedback from you regarding the Vulcan.
Its a really beautiful bike and I think it would fit my size (5′ 11″ and 270lb) well. What do you guys think?
June 1, 2009 at 3:41 pm #19149MunchParticipantI had one….5″10′ 18o you shouldn’t have any worries for it. Might give scootworks a look though for accesories like forward foot controls and such…. not sure how your legs are as far as length. I didn’t need em
June 1, 2009 at 3:46 pm #19150Jgrogan91ParticipantHey munch, I have yet to sit on one yet and im not sure exactly how long my legs are :S.
Thanks for the reply.
PS(your from NC too correct?)

June 2, 2009 at 2:29 am #19175Jgrogan91Participantcool, maybe we ca nride someday.
someday far from now but someday
June 2, 2009 at 3:21 am #19179MunchParticipantanyone from NC within reason to Raleigh area wants to ride I am up for it!
June 2, 2009 at 3:45 am #19182KchakaParticipantJust bought one about 3 weeks ago. Love it. I am 6′ even and 230 pounds.
June 2, 2009 at 4:24 am #19184Jgrogan91Participanthow does it handle, is it heavy?
and how crazy is this, are all NC boys vulcan fans?
June 2, 2009 at 4:43 am #19187EddiepowerfmParticipantYou can add a Texas boy to the Vulcan 500 list. I have had my 2007 for 11 months now. It is my first bike and it handles great. I weigh about 167 and only bench, well if I can handle it I know you can too.
Keep Rockin!
June 2, 2009 at 5:09 am #19189Jgrogan91Participantgood deal man, I like this forum.
June 3, 2009 at 3:48 pm #19254Jgrogan91ParticipantIm probably going to get the vulcan in like 3-4 months, hopefully.
June 3, 2009 at 11:32 pm #19269MunchParticipantAwesome… take pics when you do and let us know how you like it!
June 5, 2009 at 3:11 am #19323kellymchParticipantI’m a 5’10” 180 female and the Vulcan 500 fits me perfectly! LOVE IT>
June 6, 2009 at 12:50 am #19404Jgrogan91Participantwow , thats a beauty you got there
June 6, 2009 at 12:52 am #19403AtlAggieParticipantThe ’09 Vulcan below is my 2nd bike. I put 2,000 training miles on a Rebel first.
Since I had not been on a bike in 30 years, I’m glad I did some time on the smaller bike first. With that said, I LOVE the Vulcan. I wouldn’t be surprised if I keep it a long time without feeling any need to “move up”. -
