VULCAN 2000 CLASSIC
Back in the day, big cruisers had plenty of muscle and a smooth, classic style. But never like this. The Kawasaki Vulcan
®
2000 Classic
is the modern interpretation of cruising’s golden era—with numerous upgrades including the world’s largest mass production V-Twin
engine. Stamping out incredible torque, this 125 cubic-inch masterpiece includes 4-valve cylinder heads for efficient breathing, liquid
cooling for quiet operation and maximum durability, precise digital fuel injection, and a smooth-running belt final drive system. The
Vulcan 2000 Classic’s timeless styling is just as impressive, with strong, bold lines, rich paint and deep chrome, and a dramatic
multi-reflector halogen headlight that adds a unique character all its own. But as great as the Vulcan 2000 Classic looks, its real
greatness can only be discovered on a ride. With your hands on the bars, your boots on the floorboards and the sun at your back,
there’s no better feeling on earth.
