Had a 2020 Cafe model for a couple of years after taking a hiatus from riding. Absolutely loved all 6k miles I put on her. Only reason I sold her was because I found a z900rs Cafe and couldn't resist. I'll never forget how cool the Vulcan S felt. Very quick machine. I was mopping up light to light on any cruiser that wanted a go and took her on the interstate often and it handled it with ease.

The RPMs flash because the bike is still in its break-in period. Any time you take the revs over 4,000, it will flash to remind you that you aren't supposed to do that.

I'm a big fan of the Z bikes and have owned 2 Z1000's and a Z125. I thought these were weird looking but it's starting to grow on me. I am skeptical of electronic suspension on any bike. I figure it's something else expensive to break down the line. Versus Ducati Street Fighter it's apples and oranges. The Ducati is always going to be way cooler. There's just no comparison. Japanese bikes are always going to be more reliable. I have owned them all and my main bike is a gen 3 Hayabusa. I like Japanese because they start every time :)
