This is a 2003 Kawasaki Vulcan EN500C. It would make someone a great bike to learn on or a good commuter bike with excellent gas mileage. It has the 6 speed transmission which gives it plenty of top end speed to keep up with the big boys but has a very gentle power curve for the newer riders. These Kawasaki motors are liquid cooled and very reliable. The factory vinyl seat covering has been replaced with a genuine cow hide leather cover. The bike has new mufflers. new fork seals and fluid and the Dunlop tires are almost brand new. It also comes with a battery tender and the complete service manual on a CD disk. I taught my nephew to ride on this bike and it is time to pass it on. This bike is ready for the riding season.
