Hey, I just got a 2007 Vulcan 1500 and will take it accross the USA in a few months. I have a smaller windshield on this bike, so I am expecting some apparent wind all the time. But the bike is handling well. I can comment more later. My previous bike was a Honda 1100 ACE - and that bike also handled well in any wind. The worst ´winds´ are those between 18-wheelers going around mountain passes. Avoid the 18 wheelers!!
