My bro been looking for a bike for awhile. wanted to go used for the value, we looked for six mos or more, he couldn't find one he wanted. He called me last week while I was on vacation, told me he just spent 13,000 on a new vulcan nomad 1600, he held the phone up to the bike and revved it up all proud. You know it started....i asked him if he bought a sewing maching...LOL. Anyway he has two tone blue/silver with windshield and saddle bags..he certainly loves that thing. we did a 1.5 hour ride yesterday he got off bike and immediately started wiping down front. I just laughed. I ride an 08 EGC and don't baby her like that. Anyway, we traded bikes during the ride out of curiosity...I'm happy to report his bike did not impress me. Didn't have any more noticeable power, rode worse, steering was more difficult and the parts just felt inferior...not a bad bike, I know it is bullet proof but certain things looked cheap..master cylinder looked like brushed aluminum of poor quality. also the tank was bigger than my 6gal tank but held less fuel 5.3. His comment about mine was it rode better than his, seemed sportier and more solid. thought that was decent of him to be honest.
