Here you can find some pictures of my first scoot, a 1999 Kawasaki
Vulcan 750. There are a few pictures taken a couple days after
bringing her home as well as several pictures after the addition of
some accessories. I became the proud owner on August 13th,
1998 at which time my
Dad
taught me how to ride in a parking lot nearby the dealership.
After about 2-3 hours I was able to ride her home and a short time
later I took the MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) beginner riders
course. I learned a lot of good information in this course which
supplemented what my Dad had taught me very nicely. Granted you can't
teach experience but at least you can be more aware. I rode my bike
as often as I could and finally put it up in December for a winters
nap.
I thoroughly enjoyed this motorcycle, the handling and power were
fantastic to say the least. I never had a problem keeping up with
anyone I rode with (including 1500 & 1600 cc scoots) and all you
needed to do was to think about leaning and she would follow the
curve of the road. Personally I found the stock seat to be quite
comfortable the majority of the time although others have said they
didn't like it.
'Tho I did trade her in for the 1500 Classic in June 2000 there
will always be a part of me that longs for that special agility of
the 750 Vulcan.
