As a Vulcan 1500 rider, really liked this bike at left. Took this photo at RideNow in Concord, NC on Saturday March 13, 2010. It is a Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Classic and a fine motorcycle indeed. I have had great luck with my (now no longer made, but was for over 10 years) 1500, a bit over 20,000 miles and to this point...zero problems. Easy to maintain and a fun bike to ride. This bike is a beautiful piece of work, and a real quality bike. 1700cc's give you loads of power, and the seat was really comfortable (gave it a quick check). A water cooled V-twin is a good way to go, and really adds years to the bike. Down the road, will give this a serious look. 
I would love to have one of these; the Kawasaki ZX-14. Just a beautiful motorcycle, sleek and powerful, it also (in another version) makes a really fine touring bike. Designed to take on Suzuki's mighty Hayabusa (another great motorcycle) it features almost unbelievable horsepower and torque which provides neck snapping times on the dragstrip. I have read some great reviews of this motorcycle, and people I know who ride it just rave about this bike. Not for the non-professional rider, good to have some real experience before you get your hands on this motorcycle. 
Likewise for this bike, the 1000cc Yamaha R1 is not for the rookie biker. This is the ultimate semi-pro GP or Superbike race type motorcycle with all the bells and whistles that come with amazing performance. Yamaha is a fixture of modern motorcycle road racing and this bike is the sum of what they have learned over the years. Done up in (largely) Yamaha racing colors of black and yellow, this bike will give and earn respect with a capital "R:.Enjoyed checking out the latest new bikes (with more to come, and looking forward to an upcoming great ride with my bike very soon. Still down for the battery on the Vulcan, but that will change in the next few days, and I will be back exploring the roads of North Carolina!
