Who is selling it
What they say about it
The 2011 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Nomad is the kind of motorcycle that doesn’t just ride down the road, it owns it. This is full-scale touring comfort wrapped in a timeless cruiser silhouette, pulling heavy inspiration from classic American bikes of the 40s through the 60s, but backed by modern engineering that makes long-distance riding feel effortless. With its deep chrome accents, sculpted tank, and hard saddlebags, the Nomad carries that unmistakable presence that turns heads at every fuel stop. Underneath the vintage-inspired styling is a seriously capable machine. The 1,700cc fuel-injected V-twin delivers strong, low-end torque that pulls hard when you twist the throttle, especially in that sweet spot between 50 and 70 mph. Whether you’re carving through backroads or settling into a long highway stretch, the six-speed transmission and overdrive gearing keep things smooth, relaxed, and ready for the next hundred miles. Add in cruise control, a plush seat, and adjustable wind protection, and you’ve got a bike that was built for riders who don’t believe in short trips. This particular Nomad has 44,147 miles and is priced at just $4,950, making it one of the most affordable ways to get into a true full-size touring cruiser without sacrificing power, comfort, or style.
