Positioned in Kawasaki's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2007 Kawasaki VN1600 Classic Tourer pairs a 1552 cc (94.7 cu in) twin, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 102.0 x 95.0 mm (4.0 x 3.7 inches) with a 9.0:1 compression ratio.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 705 mm (27.8 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,685 mm (66.3 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 20-liter (5.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
