This stylish traveler won’t break the bank. What is touring, really, but rolling down a really long boulevard? Kawasaki already has a winner in its class-leading Vulcan® 900 Classic cruiser. With its great looks and modern hardware, the 900 Classic starts out as an excellent midsize cruising platform, with power and style to spare. To prepare it for life on the highway, we did what American motorcyclists have been doing ever since the invention of pavement: The addition of top-grain leather saddlebags, a long-distance touring seat, a passenger backrest, and an adjustable windshield provide everything you need to hit the road for days on end.
Discover the beauty of balanced performance. Kawasaki builds larger and more expensive cruisers, but they don’t build them any better, more fun to ride, or with more character than the Vulcan® 900 Classic: 903 cubic centimeters of fuel-injected V-twin Kawasaki know-how provides more than enough thrust in a bike that weighs just 620 pounds — accompanied by all the rumble the law allows. Classic looks enforce a long, low frame that carries the rider just 26.8 inches from the pavement. From there, Kawasaki adds plenty of expensive-looking chrome, quality paint and stylish spoked wheels, then sweetens the deal with an easy-to-swallow price tag.
The Vulcan® 900 Classic offers clean, flowing lines for a look as smooth as the ride that comes from the Kawasaki® mid-size cruiser. Powered by a 903 cc V-twin, the Vulcan 900 Classic has the muscle to match its bold appearance, plush bucket seat and spacious floorboards for all-day comfort. Fuel-injected 903 cc V-twin delivers ample roll-on power and excellent fuel economy Low seat height adds to rider confidence by enabling both feet to be placed on ground at stops Rider floorboards with heel / toe shifter enhance rider comfort Tank-mounted instrumentation on class-leading 5.3 gallon fuel tank Adding to the look and feel of the bike, the 180 mm rear tire is the widest in its class
