In owners' words

What Vulcan 1700 Vaquero owners report

Recent steering complaints filed with NHTSA, shortened. Personal details are removed.

IF RIDING ON A SMOOTH ROAD, IF YOU TAKE ONE HAND OFF THE HANDEL BARS YOU GET A SHAKE IN FRONT END. IF YOU RELAX YOUR OTHER HAND BY NOT GRIPPING BARS TIGHTLY, YOU GET WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. THIS IS NOT EVEN REMOTELY SAFE. I WONDER HOW MANY HAVE CRASHED DUE TO THIS? OR EVEN DIED.
