Hello all, my name is Randy, I'm in the early planning stage of buying an Vulcan 2000 LT Classic, and was looking for a place, to get info on this motorcycle, I'm a bigger guy, (6'1" 320 lbs), and was looking at the size, and price of a used 2000, between 07, to 09, so hope you all don't mind a non bike owner here, I have all my kids raised, and it's time to play!! So, I see I have a lot of reading to do, and I'm not against buy a 1600 either, just like the idea of some day soon, owning the biggest V-twin cruiser on the road!
Welcome to the VRA Forum !!! Here is my 2 cents worth on the Vulcan 2000 Classic Lt. or as many refer to as (THE BEAST) I have had mine for a little over a year and I really like it. 40 to 48 MPG if you can control yourself on the throttle. (PLENTY OF POWER !!) Good storage space on the bags. Stock exhaust are a little to quiet in my opinion so you might want to shop for one that already has aftermarket exhaust to save $$$ unless you like peace and quiet. (still trying to decide what exhaust to put on mine). You will need to have the suspension adjusted to the highest setting if you are going to haul luggage or passenger. Stock seat is a little uncomfortable but I put a Bak Up Drivers Backrest on mine and that fixed it for me or you can go to the Mustang seat. Seems to be a trouble free bike over all and it is a joy to ride on the highway and it sits low to the ground (26.8 seat height) if you have short legs like me. If you watch the internet or shop around you should be able to get a excellent price on a used one, I think some people get one and it is to much machine for them. I bought my 2009 brand new in 2010 straight off the dealer floor for $12000. MSRP is $15200. Over all if you can get a good price on one I would recommend buying it. 
Sweet !!!!!!!!!!!!!! good price too.
6'4" and 280. I just got back from Florida on my beast and it was wonderful. Rides like a dream on the interstate. Casey is correct, the suspension must be adjusted...
