Vulcan 900 Classic Features
It is easy, in this age
of high technology and more-is-better thinking, to lose sight of
the simple joys of cruising down the highway on a motorcycle.
The innocent sensation of the wind caressing your face, the
landscape unravelling around you in time to the syncopated beat
of a gutsy V-Twin engine, and the childlike curiosity of simply
wanting to know what lies around the next bend. Visceral
pleasures aside, the cruising lifestyle offers pleasures of its
own. For, while the act of riding is usually a solitary
enjoyment, the cruising lifestyle is decidedly social. Arriving
at any place where motorcyclists gather, the new rider soon
meets a whole new group of likeminded individuals. And there is
no better medium for making new friends than the cruiser. The
new Vulcan 900 Classic is the perfect machine on which to
discover the joys of cruising.
Not so big as to be
intimidating, yet pumping out plenty of satisfying power, this
new middleweight cruiser is designed to introduce a broad
spectrum of riders to the exciting world of Kawasaki cruisers.
Powered by a liquid-cooled, 903 cm3 V-Twin engine, the Vulcan
900 puts out just the right amount of rider-friendly power.
Modern technology like fuel injection, 4-valve heads and digital
electronic ignition delivers plenty of the gutsy torque that
makes riding a cruiser so much fun.
The Vulcan 900 looks as
good as it goes, thanks to a VN2000-derived styling package. The
bike's long-and-low design is complemented by seductively shaped
bodywork, a low seat and a super-fat rear tyre, just like the
big cruisers. And with its stable handling qualities and
rider-friendly ergonomics, this is one middleweight cruiser that
looks and feels like a larger machine. Everything about the
Vulcan 900 is evocative of the high build quality and
craftsmanship for which Kawasaki cruisers are famous. Riders
looking to move up to full-size cruiser in 2006 need look no
further. Great power, great looks and a great introduction to
the cruising life, the new Vulcan 900 Classic has it all.
The Vulcan 900 Classic
was specially designed to allow new riders to experience the
exciting world of full-size cruisers. Combining the look, feel
and features of a big-bore cruiser with the rider-friendly
features of a middleweight, the new Vulcan 900 is the perfect
entry vehicle into the world of big-bore cruising.
Feel-good V-Twin Power
Is it because their
firing order mimics the beat of the human heart that V-Twins
have such timeless appeal? Is it the gutsy low-rpm torque that
gets you moving with minimal fuss? Is it the effortless
mid-range acceleration that makes passing other vehicles so
easy? Or, do riders love their V-Twins simply because the
exhaust note and power characteristics are so intoxicating?
Whatever qualities you love about V-Twin engines, you'll find
them all in the Vulcan 900.
Big Bike Styling and
Craftsmanship
When riders first see the
Vulcan 900 Classic they'll be surprised to hear that it is
"only" a 900. That's because this bike has the size and styling
rivalling that of the big-bore cruisers. Long, low and ready to
cruise, the Vulcan 900's styling is evocative of the VN2000.
This effect is further enhanced by the voluminous engine design,
the attention to detail and the craftsmanship evident in the
seductive, hand-sculpted bodywork.
