Vulcan,Vulcan,Vulcan, The 1500 is as easy to ride as the 800. I good feel and controlabilty at slow speeds, such as traffic and quick stops. And when you get it throttle its thunder. I wish i had one when i first learned to ride. There are three kinds of begginers.,Wimpy,scared an Normal! A normal guy who likes to drive fast in a car would love the power of a Vulcan. I´m a 199lbs. guy and i think i need a bigger bike. Looking at the 2000ccVulcan.The 1500 Sits real low to the ground. Test drive one of these. And you´ll have to have one.
