Just a few points:

Even though I get close to 60 mpg on the Vulcan, I sometimes wish the 4 gallon tank was larger.

If you are interested in aftermarket parts.... it is TOUGH to find much. Not impossible, but not easy.

I'm not positive, but I have heard that they may phase the 500 out of production...which , if you are set on getting one might work in your favor price- wise. They'll want to get the 2009 s out the door.

The engine is awesome.... parallel twin... same as the ninja. Sucker has some POWER but does not overwhelm. I am a 54 year old "newbie" who moved from the GZ ( still have it... will never sell...) . LOVE the Vulcan!!

My .02 cents.
