Kawasaki got rid of the now over passed Vulcan 1500 and came up with not just an all-new bigger model to replace it, but an entire 1700cc lineup composed of classic, classic tourers and touring models providing riders with the possibility to find the ideal model without going in another manufacturer’s dealership. This is how we end up talking about the amazing all-new Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 which concludes under the Classic, Classic LT, Nomad and Voyager model names. > More

There’s nothing like riding a large displacement cruiser and when it comes to this, the Kawasaki Vulcan 2000 is not only one of the best representatives of its class, but also the one featuring the biggest bore and stroke. So for 2009, the massive Vulcan enhances the visual and makes sure that the engine is delivering power even smoother than before.
And it’s not just the simple Vulcan 2000 which distinguishes through these references, but the Vulcan 2000 Classic and Vulcan 2000 Classic LT too, so we’re talking about an entire lineup here. Is it just me or the competition is seriously stiffening up?
BlueShift Motorcycles is a new American motorcycle company which, unlike Harley-Davidson, Indian and Victory, are set to create electric motorcycles for the generations to come. American motorcycle manufacturers have always concentrated on providing loads of torque and BlueShift stays true to that fact and make sure that their future electric power cruiser will develop 200 ft lbs at any rpm.
The project will be formally introduced to the audience in April so you’ll remember these computer images very soon.
If the 2009 Triumph Rocket ||| doesn’t lead the power cruiser class then I don’t know what does. Surprisingly easy to maneuver, great performing, and extremely good looking, the British largest capacity production motorcycle is here to stay.
While cruisers such as the America and the Speedmaster are revamped as 2009 model years thanks to the fuel injection system ensuring that Euro 3 regulations are met, the Rocket ||| models are found in the situation of saying “been there, done that” and simply carry on enjoying the tremendous success ensured mostly by pure muscle and bad boy looks.
Sometimes it isn’t recommended to go ahead and buy the first motorcycle that looks like perfect to fulfill your riding needs even though your every single cell tells you to do so simply because there can always be an even more adequate alternative. That’s why we have the competition heading in all of our reviews, but in this case that’s not going to be the solution.
Now, we’ve just wrote about the latest Triumph Speedmaster and that custom bike couldn’t have left you with a bad impression, but people may want to go for the classic bike, and that’s where the 2009 Triumph America intervenes. So if you haven’t already made a deposit for the Speedmaster, the America can blink an eye at you as it is more comfortable without losing any of the British magic look.
Back in the early days of motorcycling, manufacturers didn’t just do a promotional video of the final product as it was being ridden down the highway as convincing as that might have been for the rebel riders of the time. Instead, they would have taken the viewer (and possibly future customer) through the entire building process so that they knew what they’re machines were made of.
This is an Indian Chief promotional video from their factory in Springfield, Massachusetts. At that time, there were no automatic assembly lines that would take care of at least part of the building process so it was all done by dedicated Indian workers.
Together with the Bonneville engine’s fuel injection upgrade, virtually all classic/custom motorcycles in the Triumph lineup are new in that concern. This implies the 2009 Speedmaster too, but what’s really the strong point of this motorcycle is attitude so the only thing that the new model year brings is more grunt to back those bad boy looks up. > More
It’s sometimes enough to bring up the words “power” and “cruiser” so that other ones such as “Star” and “Warrior” would naturally emerge. That’s right; this motorcycle has become not only a Star emblem, but a benchmark for the industry. The interesting part about it is that it climbed all the way up to the top of the wave in the collective’s mental and keeps on riding there.
Based on the idea that brute force should be instantly delivered to the massive rear wheel of a stripped down cruising-type motorcycle, performance cruisers have claimed their fair market share and the Star Warrior has had a lot to do with it. Let’s see what it’s up to in 2009.
Being a loving and caring husband means more than just keeping the vow you’ve made in church on your wedding day. It involves the power to adapt your care and concern towards your life partner’s well being in different and sometimes spontaneous situations. So if you’re a motorcyclist and an ideal husband, it is very likely that you’re already using what is called the Babe Cage.
How was that saying?... “Prepare for the worst, expect for the best!” I believe it suits perfectly to this precise situation.
The Babe Cage (what kind of name is that, anyway?) is securely built around a cruiser’s bodywork so together with your passenger’s life, it also protects your motorcycle. The passenger gets an extra large backrest and even headrest while being safely belted to the cage (I guess there’s no point in having a safety cage if you’re going to fly tens of feet away from the bike in case of an accident). There is also a set of extra lights mounted around the cage so that traffic participants would be aware that you’re pretty much working with overdue gauge out there.
In what concerns the wife, how paranoia does she needs to be in order to let herself be carried like she’s explosive material or something?
