This bike is looking amazing, and its at the top of my list. Im looking for a bike thats large enough for a 6' 200lb guy, got some muscle (nothing too crazy, but fun) and some good sound out of the pipes. How are the stock pipes? Riders of this bike please let me know. Thanks!

Mick

I like the looks of the stock Vulcan 900 pipes better then any after market pips out there. They do have a deep powerful rumble to them but could be a little loader for my taste.

I'm 5.9' 230 and this bike has plenty of tourque to keep me happy. And the bike fits pretty good to. In fact I think it would probably fit even better if I were your height. The pipes are the loudest you will find in this catagory for a metric bike!

I'm 6', 205 lbs and this bike has more than enough power to suit me. The over reviewer is right, the stock pipes look better than any aftermarket, and they sound pretty good to boot.....good, low rumble, but not so loud that they wake the neighbors.

I'm 6' and 235 lbs and this bike rides perfectly. I recently went on a ride along the Delaware River north of Philadelphia and had to take a detour just about straight up the valley hill. I couldn't believe how quickly I got up to 60 mph going up a very steep grade. I was still accelerating strongly at 60 mph but I slowed down because the speed limit was only 25! The pipes sound perfect to me and look great too.
