If you're not against buying a used bike, I was thinking of selling my
1996 800A this spring. I moved on to a BMW R1150RT last year, but kept
the Vulcan with the thought that my wife might ride it. Sadly, she
finds it too much at this point in her riding career.

The bike is equipped with windshield, backrest, saddlebags, and, because
I'm really lazy about that sort of thing, a ScottOiler. Let me know if
you're interested.

What do you intend to do with the 535? That would be a perfect bike for my
wife to start on...
