Welcome from south central Ohio. I think many Harley riders are the same, they think everone is dumb for buying anything but a Harley. Maybe it's their way of justifying the price? Can't go wrong with a Nomad, chose mine over a Harley regardless of price.

Welcome to the club!
Nomad is an awesome bike!

Welcome from Northern Minnesota! I would agree that the '05 Black/Silver is best.

I ride about 15 miles to work when the weather permits, and I got really tired of my balls going to sleep on the ride. My legs didn't fare much better.

The Harley always ran fine, and my wife still has hers. I'm also a very big guy, 270 lbs, 6'4 and got tired to looking like a circus bear on a mini bike.

Also to get a new bike similar in ride and comfort (which you can't) in the Harley line, it would have cost me more than double, I figure about $22,000 or so where my new Nomad set me back $9600. Add in sales tax and all the extras you've got to add, I figure it saved me $15,000.

I got a better warranty from Kawasaki and over the life of the bike, I'm sure I'll save even more. Now let's talk resale---5 year old Nomads are still going for $7500, so I can drive the Nomad for 5 years and lose $2000, will I get by with less loss on a Harley over the same 5 year period, I think not. OK, so that $22,000 Harley five years later will get back $15,000 if your lucky, so now you've lost $7,000. How much would you rather lose?

If you look at everything down the line, a Nomad blows everything else away.

Welcome from Georgia. I think that you will find that the Nomad will do whatever you want or need. As far as the color choice, whichever color/combination you like best will naturally be the the fastest and the best regardless of what others say.

I feel sorry for those Harley guys that have that attitude. In my opinion they are just showing their ignorance. :-/ When I run into any of them I just shrug them off and go on my way. Life is to short to waste time worrying about that stuff.

Thanks to all for your very warm welcome! When the weather breaks here I am going to take the 2005 at my local dealer out for a test ride. The lines of the Vulcan Nomad are easy on the eyes, it is one great looking bike! I would eventually like to have an all black Vulcan Nomad. Something about a black and chrome bike that gets my motor running.

Is there a photo page on the web site where I can look at mods that folks have made to their Nomads? Or just look at the members bikes?

Thanks again for the kind welcome!
