New Addition

Just bought a new 2009 Kawasaki Vulcan 500 LTD. Here is a picture of it next to my GZ 250 (Hank).

VERY NICE! That looks like a comfy bike. After you get some miles on it, you should do a comparison review for us.

Sweet ride. Another bike with a proven reputation. You will really like it.

Maybe this site should be called "IstartedoutonaGZ250.com"

Wait a minute! For me it's "IendeduponaGZ250.com"

Must admit, however, that it is kind of like smoking.
I still WANT another bike (cigarette).
Resisting the temptation is sometimes difficult !!

Thats what I plan to get in may. The seat is so comfy.

My plan is the Shadow VTX 750 or the Vulcan 750. But I'm also considering a few sportbikes to replace the Ninja with though.

Today was my first day I actually rode it around the neighborhood. I had to take a break because my right palm of my hand and fingers felt like they were cramping up. I don't know if it was because I was nervous or because the throttle grip is a lot thicker than the GZ 250. I am only 5' 1" and got really small hands.
My second time out seemed better. I am a little bit more relaxed and out on the main roads so I didn't have to do as much shifting. The only downside is that it was very cold out today.
