2008 KAWASAKI VN1600 VULCAN NOMAD 1600

Store Location: Pembroke NH

This 2008 Kawasaki VN1600 Vulcan Nomad with 36,471 miles passes NH state inspection and runs well. It's been upgraded with passing lamps, a luggage rack, a Mustang tank bib, and grips.

The Nomad is a larger displacement cruiser that blends power and comfort, making it a reliable option on brief or extended rides. Powered by a 1552cc v-twin engine, the Nomad puts 65 horsepower and 93 foot-pounds of torque through a five-speed transmission. It has a 28.3-inch seat height and a dry weight of 772 pounds.

We offer an unbelievable selection of quality used motorcycles and never charge any dealer fees! Nobody here is on commission and we are happy to take as much time with you as you need. We encourage you to see and hear this bike in person, but if you are unable to, we will be happy to do a live inspection via Skype, Facetime, or Google Meet. Please call 603-410-4120 for more info.

What Is An Opportunity Vehicle?

At National Powersports, we buy a lot of bikes! While many are fully serviced and sold with a warranty, some will not go through the process due to a variety of reasons, including special purchases, overstock of the same model, high mileage, running or cosmetic condition, or a simple lack of shop availability. We sell these vehicles "as-is" and call them Opportunity Vehicles, as they are sold at a substantial discount.

If you are not comfortable buying a vehicle as-is, we have hundreds of other bikes in stock that are fully serviced and come with a warranty. Click HERE to view our Premium Inventory.

Opportunity As-Is Logo

This vehicle is being sold as-is with no warranty. Just like purchasing a vehicle private sale from an individual, as-is purchases carry more risk than a premium bike with a warranty. It is important to see the vehicle in person so that you can make an informed decision. If you cannot come see the bike in person, we encourage a Skype or Facetime call so we can “show” you the bike prior to purchase. Feel free to contact us at 603-410-4120.

If you are not comfortable buying a vehicle as-is, we have hundreds of other bikes in stock that have been fully serviced and come with a warranty.

NATIONWIDE SHIPPING

We offer door to door delivery service at competitive rates anywhere in the continental United States, securing insurance coverage for your vehicle during transit. Buyers are responsible for shipping surcharges to certain remote locations and on oversized vehicles such as trikes, side cars, and UTVs. Contact us for details.

Select a state above to calculate shipping cost.

Since the beginning we’ve tried to keep things simple and rooted in common sense. We do this by pricing our bikes right at our bottom line, so there are no negotiations to worry about. If a bike doesn’t sell for a certain number of days, we will mark it down accordingly, lower the price for everyone immediately on the website, and update the price tag in the showroom. It’s important to us that everyone gets the same price, regardless of their negotiation skills.

Note: If you save a bike in your “My Garage”, you can choose to be notified via email if it gets repriced.

Used Vehicles:
We do not charge any additional fees with the purchase of our used vehicles. The price you see is the price you pay.

New Vehicles:
Manufacturer freight, destination and setup fees apply. We do not charge any “Admin” or “Doc” fees.

Tax, Title, and Registration:
Local tax, title, and registration costs vary by state and are not included in our pricing.

Yes. We are able to ship bikes nationwide to any of the lower 48 states. It’s delivered right to your driveway, no loading dock required. Shipping rates can be found in the shipping section of our listings.

All pre-owned vehicles have their photos and video taken right here in our store. Most new vehicles feature stock images.

Describing the cosmetic condition of a Powersports vehicle can be tricky as it is subjective. What looks beautiful to one person might look quite a bit different to another. We have three categories we put bikes in, and for each type what we describe varies.

  • Type 1: New / late model / and or high dollar vehicles - We point out everything that we can see as flaws not caused by normal riding/wear.
  • Type 2: For everything in between T1 and T3. We point out items that are, in our opinion, above normal wear and tear. We won’t point out boot scuffs on bags, small paint chips, and things you would expect to see on any used vehicle.
  • Type 3: Older, high mileage, or cosmetically rough vehicles - We point out only large areas of damage. On these vehicles we highly recommend looking closely at all the pictures and/or seeing the bike in person to inspect.
If you cannot physically come to the shop and inspect it in person, we are happy to do a live video chat to review the bike with you.

No. The reserve prices in our auctions are the very same as what you see here on our website.

Yes we do. We would be happy to consider your vehicle for trade or outright purchase. You can fill out the "Sell Your Vehicle" form here.

We work with a number of local and national lenders and are able to offer financing to most of our US customer's on most bikes. Click on the “Apply For Financing” button in the listing to learn more and submit an application.

All of the bikes are located at our shop in Pembroke, NH or at our new location in Coxsackie, NY. They can be viewed in person during regular business hours.

Unless otherwise notated in the Title section of our listing all bikes have clean titles with no salvage history.

California law requires that unless the emissions sticker on the bike specifies that it is California compliant, any bike must have at least 7500 miles on the odometer. If one of our bikes is not California compliant we will say so in the title section of the listing.

We accept certified bank checks, money orders, bank to bank wire transfers, and of course cash in person. Paypal and credit cards may be used for the deposit, but NOT for the full amount.

Unfortunately, no. Once we list a bike, we can’t swap parts from one bike to another. We do, however, offer an expansive selection of used accessories, which you can browse here.
