In
at least two ways the Vulcan 750 outshines the more expensive
Vulcan 800's: by virtue of its hydraulically adjusted valves
(i.e., maintenance-free) and by its shaft drive. (Why do we
harp so about shaft drive? Wait until you have to adjust the
chain on a bike without a centerstand, which almost no bikes--and
absolutely no cruisers--come with these days.) If you don't
need the retro-look so popular today (and executed so brilliantly
by Kawasaki's own Vulcan
800 Drifter), the Vulcan 750 may be the bike
for you. Seat height: 28.9 inches.
If
you like the post-UJM retro styling this is the modern mid
sized bike for you. The bike is an older design and its
style belies the age of said design, it almost looks like
it would be more at home with a parallel twin or inline
four motor under the tank. Lots of desirable features are
on these bikes including a tach, center stand, and shaft
final drive. Granted everyone wants a center stand for easier
chain lubes so it defeats that purpose...I'll give it my
typical mid sized cruiser B rating.
