Bike Profile

The Kawasaki Vulcan Nomad is basically an improved Classic tourer. Added to the system are better passenger seating that has more padding and a backrest and instead of pegs for the passenger a set of floorboards make it a more pleasant experience. The 1552cc engine also is a step up in power from the Vulcan Classic giving the Kawasaki Vulcan Nomad an impressive burst of power for a machine meant to give sport touring bikers a comfortable ride.

For a somewhat bulky bike it handles very well in the twisties and provides a good, solid, controllable ride for bikers of any ability. Unlike a lot of big burly cruisers the Kawasaki Vulcan Nomad gives a great ride even over roads that would make the other bikes bottom. Its suspension system provides a luxuriously smooth ride over any type of pavement.

Standard equipment contains all the touring accompaniments a rider could desire with saddle bags big enough for supplies for two, full fairing, wind protection and best of all it looks great.

Advantages: Comfortable touring bike with a lot of style and power. Good price to get you on the road at a reasonable cost. Reliable starting and handling. Relatively quiet bike that has a very civil tone. Great 'big cruiser' feel without the arm wrenching weight.

Disadvantages: Could use a little more power and heavier riders, and especially a heavy rider with a heavy passenger may experience some power difficulties. In 2005 Kawasaki added more power to the Nomad so heavier riders should look for a later model.
