- July 24, 2011, 12:20:00 PMI just can't get rid of bikes anymore, they all have thier place 
My Drifter handles all our 2-up needs, my '06 Sporty is basically a bobber and just a blast to ride, my '07 Vulcan 900 Classic is also going the way of the bobber and is also a lot of fun. My '76 Ironhead Sporty has found it's way to my oldest son's garage and he's riding the crap out of it. We also have an '80 Yamaha XS400 sitting in the garage in pieces, that'll either be a cafe style or we'll chop it.

- March 25, 2011, 11:15:34 AMCurrently own an '02 1500 Drifter and an '05 Hd Ultra; LOVE that Drifter; hardly ride the Harley anymore, likely going to sell it this year; it is my 3rd Harley, started with a 1976 FLH, an '88 Heritage Softail, then the '05. Had to overhaul the '76 Shovel 2x, no issues with the others; if I sell the Harley I might consider a Nomad, '06-'08 for 2-up riding with the wife as I will not put a 2-up seat on my Drifter.
Cheers, Regards, and such;

- March 15, 2011, 15:35:29 PMMy last bike before I got my 1550 Drifter was a GS850G Suzuki full dresser. it was the first one I ever owned with shaft drive. Sure was smoother than the KZ750 I had before. When I got my drivers license back in 74, my first vehicle was a CB125 honda. none of them compare to my drifter, Man what a ride.

- March 15, 2011, 08:53:01 AMI currently have a 1978 Honda GoldWing with 46,000 original miles and is in mint condition, ride it occasionally. I also have a 2003 Kawasaki Nomad 1500 that I purchased 2 years ago with 9445 miles on her, now she is a few hundred short of 50,000 miles. Anyone looking for a touring bike I would highly recommend the Nomad. I recently purchased a 2003 Drifter 1500 Metallic Ruby Red with 10,000 miles which I haven't put a mile on yet with our extended winter here in MN. I am hoping to get her out this week and give her a good shakedown ride.

- March 14, 2011, 07:15:37 AMI ride the '02 Drifter, and before that I rode an '82 Honda CX500C. One of the fun parts of riding the CX was; practically everywhere I rode people would say: "I rode one of those a long time ago". Apparently, everyone had a CX500 at one point.

- March 14, 2011, 00:03:00 AMI have a 99 1500 Drifter which I LOVE !!!! I began riding a Yamaha XS 1100 , was my late husband's son's bike , It was ok but I finally got my Drifter and have put 53,000 + miles on it . My hubby bought me new pipes last Spring and it has DROVE HIM NUTS ! Because the Drifter sounded so much better than his Suzuki Boulevard , he sold it , bought a Harley Electraglide , has went thru 4 exhaust system on it and STILL doesn't sound as good as my bike. LOL. Told him , sell the harley and by a Drifter !!He bought an 06 Road King last summer " for me " , hoping I'd put the Drifter away . I rode it some last summer BUT it doesn't compare to the Drifter . If it broke down today I'd still keep it and look for another one - DRIFTER . I am SOLD on these bikes. Check out Kawasaki's Accelerate Online magazine . I have a brief story bout me and My Drifter there !!

- March 13, 2011, 17:41:56 PMMy other bike is a 99 Yamaha Royal Star Venture I love the bike..... in Sept I then bought a 99 1500 Drifter and honestly I love that bike even more...everyone keeps asking what bike I'm going to keep and at this point they are both going to have to learn how to share the same garage.
