  1. video is ok but no facts are not known about a kawasaki warranty:
    2009 Nomad,1700, bought new with a Kawasaki warranty. After 4,000 miles, I thought my front tire was bad. The right fork tube seals were leaking, spilling onto my tire. Kawasaki refused to replace it because it was a “wearable item”. The fork tube seal was defective from the factory. Kawasaki warranty states in the first paragraph: They do NOT warranty ANY MOVING PARTS. So why buy a warranty or this bike?

  2. I have an 01 Nomad with 35000 miles. Still runs like a champ and rides and pulls great above 55 and beyond 85….. best bike I have owned so far.

  3. ours has 2000 ccs wb yalls??

  4. Fork wind deflectors? What kind of pussy…?

  5. yeps, I’m enjoying my ‘06 vulcan 1600, wouldn’t even trade it for a Harley, hehe.

    On this new bike, I didn’t care for the reflectors on the front fork but overall looks great and reminds me of my bike.

  6. lmao, hey at least I’m still in the kawi family, team green for life

  7.  There is still hope. ;)

  8. I have a 2006 Nomad and have been all over the western United States and Canada. Me and the wife, all of are gear and have never had any issuues with it . The Nomad is a AWESOME ride I have been riding since I could walk. TRB

  9. awesome bike

  10. How about some lizzard lights for the night ride?…
    And what is the cost of this bike?

  11. Did Kawasaki hire an Anime artist to design this new look? :0(((

  12. New drinking game: Take a shot everytime he says “Day Ride” haha. Is he talking about a belt as a final drive, or am I just drunk from the drinking game? Why the switch from the coveted drive-shaft? Thank goodness my ‘05 has a shaft drive, I’ll never have to buy this 2009!

  13. Carbon fiber belt? what belt? I don’t like the new look at all. I think the new bags waste a lot of space with such a huge lid too. I love my 2005 as well, but feel the limited(ness) of aftermarket stuff will only grow with this new look. Kawasaki doesn’t encourage custom??? I’ve done a lot to mine, but it’s taken a lot of true custom work just to get some of the same accessories others can get off the shelf.

  14. what the hell is a ‘day ride’ . I can only do one day at a time even if it’s 20 hrs.

  15. My 1600 05 nomad looks better !

  16. Props for another great kawasaki product even though I only ride the ninja lineup at this point in my life.
