Hi everyone,

 

I was in a dilemma whether I should post this news here or create a new thread on it. Either choice, I decided to spread the good news in here first instead.

 

I was at Evershine last Saturday and had a good chat with the person-in-charge Mr. Ang along with our fellow member Penguin. I had a good piece of news to share and that is Evershine would be expecting 20 pieces of Vulcan 900 Euro version this coming April/May 2007. Pricing is still unknown at the moment until nearing to the date of shipment.

 

For those who are in a dilemma on a middleweight cruiser, this is a good opportunity for you to pick up this beautiful piece of machine.

 

Cheers.

O....M....G!!!! :cheer: :lovestruck: Thanks a lot nights :smile:

If the price is right, I'm definitely down for one of these beauties...

Wonder if they will have any VN900 LT in the shipment...

 

(April/May 07? ....jeez, that's not much time to save up some cash....)

Argh! Tough luck Kiamh, they are not going to bring in the LT version since it is not available in Euro version at the moment. For original accessories, you may have to go thru Motorworld (as far as I know the only shop who does import from Kawasaki USA). Tentatively, the shipment is pending for April/May thus, Mr. Ang advise on call up to check.

 

In additional, Nomad is currently all sold out and production is cut temporary. People who is looking for bigger capacity model may wish to go for either Vulcan 1600/2000.

 

Cheers!

Unfortunately, as I found out that the VN900 will be hitting our shores... a family emergency has cropped up. Guess I'll be riding my Phantom for a bit longer till my financial commitments are resolved :sian:

arh... I've got a stack of bike mags in my room. Whenever they talk about middleweight cruisers the Kawasaki VN900 or Suzuki Boulevard C50 stands heads and shoulders above the rest. I just happen to like the styling of the Kawasaki better.

 

Personally, I've always felt that a middleweight is just nice to suit my riding purposes.

For starters, try the article posted by sgstarrider earlier in this thread. For more reading material, just google "VN900 review"

 

:weep: too bad my savings are gonna be wiped out by the hospital bills.

Nonetheless, my dream does not die, just postponed....

I have this strange feeling...

call it weird but....

maybe its my gut feeling.

Well no, it must be the wind

the wind are whispering....

whispering to my ears

'if it ain't from Japan, it won't be coming'

this piece of metal beauty.

 

Say what!

 

My baby ain't follows the Euro Standards?

Bull sh*t!

Bring it on and we will see.

the wind still whisper

'if it ain't called Dragstar, it won't be coming'

this piece of metal beauty.

 

I have this strange feeling...

call it weird but....

well maybe, just maybe....

she will be here soon.

wah... you consider a 1300cc as a middleweight arh??? same displacement as Busa leh.. :cheeky:

 

The VStar is not a bad looking bike, but a bit too big for my taste. It also has 2-1 exhausts, which are not my cup of tea :p

 

Anyway, with my recent problems, I'm having second thoughts about buying a new Class2 cruiser... too much financial pressure. See how things go bah.... :pray:

Oh my, response seems negative. Anyway, we should not be too hopeful judging from past experience. They were never too keen with cruiser market and knowing most shop just want to earn the best bucks, it is just not enthusiastic to satisfy an unknown numbers in the market until further analysis. Most importantly, if they do not deal with export, it would be very unlikely for them to even consider bringing in models that might take up spaces in their warehouse.

Hi there and welcome. Vstar otherwise, known as Dragstar 1100 cost around the range of $11K for second-hand and one of my friend just recently bought one.

 

Spare parts and repair/service is not much of a problem since the local agent carry this model in their showroom.

 

:goodluck:

its great if its true... maybe he just said that the shipment is coming to stop all the enquiries.. keke... Vstar 1300 is middle weight for a cruiser. Heavy weight is anything above 1500cc

Middle weight is anything from 900cc to below 1500cc

Light weight is anything below.

 

Something I read from some magazine of this new classification, so dont quote me.
