RACE!!! Yamaha bolt vs Kawasaki vulcan 900

950cc Yamaha bolt (me) vs Kawasaki Vulcan 900cc custom. Started from a roll going 30mph end up ending it at 105mph

The Bolt is about 63 pounds lighter, produces 2 HP more than the vulcan and has an extra 2 Nm. Very similar performance, it all comes down to riding skill.

From the specs online it says the vulcan cant keep up to the bolt but that was really close together!!:)

Had both bikes .An 07 Vulcan and a 14 bolt, the bolt does feel a little quicker but the Vulcan seemed to be a little longer in the gearing . At 5’11” and 200 pounds the Vulcan felt better to me as far as comfort but the bolt was way more fun to ride. Vulcan s 650 will smoke them both just saying!

Looks like a good matchup. No surprise the yamaha had just a little more umph they usually do

That’s a nice jacket you have on. Where can I buy it?

[coryforrester]

I will take my 2012 vulcan 900 custom over the bolt anyday of the week.

[derekreilly]

Looked to me like the bolt got lil more than half a length and a jump on the start

[carlostrujillo]

I'd like to see another run and see them take off at the same time but looks like they are preaty similar no one gapped each other

[exothermal.sprocket]

Ain't it fun to ride a slow bike fast?

[isaacig]

Hey, which is the better bike for someone 6'2 and 230lbs + for commuting to work and some highway and freeway riding, Kawasaki Vulcan S or the Yamaha Bolt R-Spec?

[chickai]

Vulcan is a heavier bike. Bolt should have smoked it.

[G.L.P.mm]

The vulcan eat it 3 times on tht race .1st he started half bike in front of the vulcan, 2 ND he pass it he say he miss shift, 3rd when the vulcan let go he passed it and the when the vulcan was going pass it again he say the race was over lmao

[midmooutdoors]

Vulcan bout got your ass bud. Might need to run them again

[nickhanns]

bolt is in a whole other league. nice bike.

[Smokeshow_hd_]

N the Bolt is a 950 and weighs much less... Not bad for the Kawi..

[elihollins]

Vulcans are wayyyy better looking hands The vulcan looks like a real chromed out cruiser that makes people's head turn all day all day

[wickedleeloopy]

pretty close match up but I think the vulcan will run away at top speed because the final gear on bolt wouldn't be as long.

[Flipsheeets]

He didn't have a bad shift I was still In first gear then shifted into second then I started winning then slowed down to make a pose watch my left hand Vulcan won

[claudeben]

How are we supposed to know wich is wich ?

[corneilcorneil]

3th signal and open the trotte in the same time ... not fair.
