I bought the Kawasaki Vulcan Meanstreak 2002 in February 2002, I still have it and it has over 18,000 miles on it. I have ridden it several times to North Carolina and Georgia from NY. A great bike.

The Kawasaki Ninja 500 2005 I bought in July of 2005 and trashed it doing a lowside at an advanced street riding school in August, it had ~1,800 miles on it.
