LUMINOUS POLARIS BLUE • METALLIC DIABLO BLACK • METALLIC IMPERIAL RED
1 The Vulcan 900 Classic looks and feels
larger than a middleweight thanks to its
flowing lines, large classic-styled round
headlight and wide front forks.
An advanced digital fuel injection system
featuring dual 34mm throttle bodies offer
exceptional response, great acceleration and
good fuel economy. And the fast idle feature
means no more waiting for a cold engine to
warm up on those brisk early mornings.
The V-Twin engine employs four valves per
cylinder head for better breathing that adds
up to more power and stronger low-end
torque for this middleweight cruiser.
2 The 55 cubic-inch V-Twin engine delivers
linear torque from very low engine rpm
that translates into strong acceleration
in the midrange. A gear-driven balancer
counteracts the pulses of the 55-degree
single-pin crank V-Twin.
The Vulcan 900 Classic looks and feels like
its bigger brothers with its large folding
floorboards with a heel/toe shifter, a wide,
relaxed handlebar, deeply padded seat, a
centrally located speedometer with warning
lamps, chrome slash-cut mufflers, Positive
Neutral Finder, 5-speed transmission and
traditional-style round headlight.
3 The clean, quiet and reliable belt drive
system transfers the 900 Classic’s
strong V-Twin power to the ground
smoothly and efficiently while the
hardtail look of the rear end adds
comfort and style.
Up front, the 41mm front fork with 32
degrees of rake and a wide fork pitch give
the 900 Classic a bigger bike look.
Combine that with deep, rich paint, miles
of chrome and an ultra-low 26.8-inch seat
height and you have a classic cruiser ready
to ride in style.
VULCAN 900 CLASSIC
Everything you need for cruising and nothing you don’t—that’s the mission of the Vulcan
®
900 Classic. So whether you’re new to
motorcycling or a seasoned pro, your first trip on one of our most affordable V-Twins will prove its worth. Crank up the 55 cubic-inch
engine and hear the steady beat echoing from the dual slash-cut mufflers. Now pull onto the road, wind through the gears and feel the
solid handling and silky ride cast their spells. The sun glints off the deeply chromed headlight, swept-back handlebars and fuel tank-
mounted instrument panel while the fuel-injected engine rumbles beneath you. Hard to believe this is a middleweight cruiser you can
enjoy stock—or personalize with Kawasaki Genuine Accessories. Your passenger appears right on time, and climbs aboard for the ride
into town. It’s a nice day, all right—and the night’s going to be even better.
