Maybe time will make changes. People sure do... I remember a year ago, I wanted so bad to go outside for a ride but it was so frustrating, because of that pandemic situation. I kept watching videos instead. It wasn't the same but it was for sure better than nothing. All the best. 👍
J. Dallas Brooks Thanks. It really is a beauty, my Vulcan. Had the factory exhaust modified by Sound-Control-Systems in Dresden / Germany. Worse luck, regulations for "sounds" of exhausts are very strict over here in GER.
"I had the stock pipes modified by Sound-Control-Systems, e.g. didn't do it myself. This company is based close to Dresden (East Germany). It was a modification with an adjustable application as there are very strict regulations regarding the sound of bike pipes. The application I chose can be adjusted from a low to a lound sound which will then sound darker / muffled, too. Check this link, pls.:www.sound-control-systems.de/index.php?route=product/product&path=2&product_id=40P Perhaps there is a similar solution on offer where you live.
sorry to dissapoint, i was on my gf's account when i posted that :)) i'm getting mine in about one month. Got back to this video cuz i want my "background music" as i work :) peace.
I've been watching this video all day now at work... really nice scenery, and the ride looks so fun! How long have you had this bike for now? What are your general impressions of it in terms of financial expenses and technical issues, etc.?
Thanks for commenting! I've had my bike for 3 years now. I'm really happy and content with it. Nice criuser! Easy to handle despite the weight, even for beginners. I guess it's good for customising, too (Bobber?) The Kawasaki VN 900 is a very sound and reliable bike, low-maintenance and reasonably priced in maintenace in terms of petrol consumption (mpg approx 56), oil & oil filter change required only every 12.000 km or once per annum. I prefer to do it before the winter break (weather wise). Having a Kawasaki VN 900 really is a very good choice ;-)
Ive just bought this bike, traded in my honda vt400, pick it up tomorrow. Sorry about the smart ass remark about indicators but it got drummed in to me when i went through the learner riding school haha. It felt awesome on the test ride, cant wait to take it out on a good run.
Super Video ich fühlte mich schon fast wie der Fahrer. :-) Bist du mit der VN 900 rundum zufrieden? Bin mal sehr neugierig da ich plane in die Cruiserecke zu wechseln.
Kai Lang Danke, freut mich. Ich bin mit meiner VN 900 Classic super zufrieden. Ich hatte mir vor dem Kauf der VN alle Möglichen Cruiser-Modelle der verschiedenen Hersteller angeschaut. Tolle Fahreigenschaften, für einen Cruiser sehr leichtes Handling, sehr Wartungs- und Reparaturfreundlich im Gegensatz zu den Teilen aus Milwaukee Und wenn man will auch viele Customize-Möglichkeiten. Kleiner Tipp: www.vn-biker.de
Hello! Yes, I can recommend the VN 900 Classic as a first bike. Despite it's weight of aprox. 300 kg it's good to handle. A well tempered bike. ;-o) Definitely yes, it is the real sound! The exhaust is the stock exhaust modified with a damper by the German company Sound-Controll-Systems to control and set the volume. Here in Germany we have strict regulations for the volume of bike exhausts ;-(
Love the sound. I also ride a 900 Classic but disappointed with the noise from the stock pipes so i'm very interested in the Mod. Did you do the conversion yourself.
+Dave Potts Thanks. Yes, the sound of the stock pipes sound like a sewing machine. I had the stock pipes convered by Sound-Control-Systems, e.g. didn't do it myself. This company is based close to Dresden (East Germany). It was a conversion with an adjustable application as there are very strict regulations regarding the sound of bike pipes. The application I chose can be adjusted from a low to a lound sound which will then sound darker / muffled, too.Check this link, pls.:www.sound-control-systems.de/index.php?route=product/product&path=2&product_id=40Perhaps there is a similar solution on offer where you live.
+Dave Potts Hi. You can demount the exhaust and post it to Sound-Control-Systems (aprox. 40 € via DHL parcel service). Have a look at the Sound-Control-Systems homepage. They give a good description how it works. That's how I did it and it worked well. I come from Leverkusen, actually, so quite close to Cologne.
Wo hattest Du die Kamera fest, sieht relativ ruhig aus. Ich hab vorne noch ein Windschild, vielleicht mindert das was die Windgeräusche. Werds auch mal versuchen.
Josef Juchem Habe die GoPro HD Hero2 an dem original Chest Mount (Brustgurt) montiert. So ist das doch relativ ruhig und mir gefällt auch die Perspektive so am Besten. Man sieht was vom Moped und auch ausreichend Landschaft und Umgebung. Sound ist halt immer etwas schwierig wegen der Windgeräusche. Fahre auch gelegendlich mit Windschild in der kälteren Jahreszeit.Hat aber keinen großen Einfluss auf die Windgeräusche. Bin übrigens auch Mitglied im VN-Biker-Forum... (flyingfritz)
I am looking to move to Germany from Greece! You can call me a petrolhead as I love cars and bikes (mostly cruisers). How is it there?(Road quality, how other people drive, are taxes expensive for cars and bikes?) Thanks!
Hi, the road quality is moderate and the people drive relatively aggressive. Depends on the area ... Taxes for cars and bikes depends on their cylinder capacity and their "pollutant category/exhaust emission" for example my bike is euro 3, 903 ccm = 68,00 EUR tax p. a. plus auto/bike liability insurance and this can be very expensive. Good luck for your intention.
Servus, ausschlaggebend war die Optik. Die Original-Anlage gefällt mir einfach besser an dem Moped. Der Sound der Falcon war schon ganz gut. Den Sound der SCS finde ich subjektiv besser, ich fahre sie halb offen. Das reicht völlig. TÜV habe ich auch problemlos mit der Original/SCS-Anlage bekommen. Habe ein anderes Video mit Sound der SCS ua-cam.com/video/WWMJQdy6PfM/v-deo.html
Hab ich schon gesehen, dis SCS hört sich auch echt gut an. Aber du veränderst in dem Moment ja die Original Anlage..... Das würde mir n bissel Sorgen machen :(
Da hast Du nicht unrecht... Alternativ besorgst Du Dir eine gebrauchte Originalanlage und lässt die bei SCS umbauen. Wenns dann mal Probleme geben sollte (Rennleitung oder ähnliches) schraubst Du die "originale Originale" wieder dran.
Der SCS-Auspuff-Umbau ist nicht eingetragen und bis einschließlich 2023 war ich mit dem SCS Auspuff fünf Mal bei der HU und hatte nie Probleme. Allerdings lasse ich die HU/AU immer bei der Werkstatt meines Vertrauens machen, was grundsätzlich empfehlenswert ist. Die Anlage habe ich seit dem Umbau auf halb offen eingestellt. Es geht mir nicht um laut, sondern um ein sonores Blubbern. Original hört sich das Moped halt wie eine Nähmaschine an, und das passt nicht. 😊👍
Russell Bolte No problem on short rides up to 75 mph (120 km/h) when it's warm. But I do ride my bike with a windshield as it's more comfortable - less dead insects end on your face!
