What kind of bike is the Kawasaki drifter 800?
Got the ex the 800 Classic and 800 Vulcan a few years back. The Classic with the 16″ front was a lot better handling bike. A friend offered me a 800 Drifter with 7000 miles for a price way to good to pass on. I always liked those and rode one once owned by another friend who insisted I ride it as he thought the bike rode really nice.
