| I’m thinking of purchasing a Vulcan 800, but most of dealers that I’ve talked to keep telling me this bike is too small for me. My height is 6’2” and weight is 200 lbs.
I will be riding on both highways and back roads. Is this true?

You well need to adjust the shock, it is set at its lowest setting when you buy it and consider a new seat and replacing the grips and shifter and add cruise control and change the handel bars oh and add a tach....You might want to consider a diffrent make bike in the end...

| No you don't need a bigger bike. I am 200 lbs. myself and have no problems. It has a good seat but if you can swing the $350 or more for a mustang seat it is worth it.
