I have a 2023 Vaquero. Dealerships near me have the 24 model listed for 12,000 because I guess they don’t move that quickly. Kawasaki really needs to update this bike a little bit. I think MSRP is over 19,000 now. I think it’s ridiculous considering it’s the same bike throughout the whole lifespan. I got my bike for 11,000 because it was sitting on the floor for over a year. I really enjoy the motorcycle though especially when you put some modifications on it. Extremely reliable and maintenance is super cheap. Just hit 10,000 miles on mine before I parked it for winter.
I bought a 05 nomad and it handled like a pig at slower speeds top heavy and the front end was heavy it was great going down the highway and had good power, but was a bear loaded down
This bike came out in 2011 and in 2024 it looks exactly the same. Absolutely zero innovation when it comes to technology, display, safety, etc. Not sure if this is something Kawasaki should be proud of or embarrassed about it. No idea why anyone would want to buy this new versus trying to score a deal on a used one. You gain absolutely nothing with buying new. Great video, as always!
My favorite

Hi Peter - looks a nice cruiser...
How does that rear brake work for slow manoeuvres since it also brakes in the front?
Nice vid.
The linked braking system is speed dependant. So it's not always linking, it only links when it will assist the rider.
