My 2015 vaquero one year latter.
I have put 4,500 miles on the bike this year. road all over Lake Tahoe then to the beaches. I commuted it as well a bit... I really love this Bike.. The best thing I had to point out is the Breaking. Amazing... This bike stops on a dime. I must highly recommend Cobra Slip ons... Huge improvements in all areas. Had to get a higher windshield.
I am about ready for a new set of Tires and have changed my 3 times using mobil 1... full synthetic this also made a nice little performance enhancer. My first car was a bike and I am 50s now, I have ridden a lot of bikes this one is a pretty nice bike .. Just saying... Login or Register to Remove Ads |

I have a 2015 - 3 months old - 6500 miles. Feel free to catch up ... :)
Yes, the rear brake seems to need more pressure. I saw a review that said this is normal. I have a bad habit of using the front and taking advantage of the K-ACT system. Like you, I love this bike. Upgraded from a 900 - wish I would have done it sooner. |

breaking
I have the ABS Breaking for the first time and it is amazing. I was coming out of Tahoe cruising along about 65 when I came around a corner and traffic was stopped. I grabbed break and stopped on a dime. If had been on some of my prior bikes this could have gotten ugly. However no big deal on this bike.
