2006 KAWASAKI Vulcan 900 Classic, * Price shown excludes destination charges, optional accessories, applicable taxes, installation, setup and/or other dealer fees. Styled to match the heavyweights, yet with all of the features that make the growing mid-size market so popular. Cruising motorcycle enthusiasts, whether experienced or new to the fold, find themselves seeking that perfect combination of power, torque, styling, and comfort. For those just joining the mid-size cruising family prior choices have been short on many attributes that signify the rider's perception of why they found motorcycles so appealing. And, for the experienced big bike riders, the inclination to seek a better balanced mid-size with the look and feel of the larger V-twins hasn't been an option. Kawasaki evens the playing field for 2006, with the introduction of the Vulcan® 900 Classic, a motorcycle that will find a quick home with both of these groups.

Adding to the stylistic eye-candy are a very modern flair emanating from its new bodywork, an LED taillight, and new low-slung seat height. Curved engine fins add visual interest to the traditional look of the big, fuel-injected V-twin, while the four valves per cylinder, liquid-cooled reliability, and smooth highway cruising aided by the engine's counter balancer make this a worthy new entry in Kawasaki's Vulcan stable. The Vulcan 900 Classic features a belt drive that not only keeps the overall weight down, but also improves rear-end styling and provides the rider with additional customizing opportunities. Any mention of rear-end styling has to include this unit's use of a large, 180mm wide rear tire, largest in the category. The beefy, big bike look inherent with the larger tire adds to the guttural, classic V-twin sound that is produced by the use of a single-pin crankshaft. Both look and sound evoke the f
