I actually own a 2001 Vulcan 750, so I hope that doesn´t exclude me from this forum. I returned to riding in 2003 after 35 years away -- I am 59 now -- and started with a 1985 Kawasaki 454 LTD. I liked it so much I traded up the following year to my current 750. I love the retro styling, the strong performance, and the fact that it doesn´t look like a Harley wannabe.
