Positioned in Kawasaki's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2025 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Vaquero ABS relies on a 1700 cc engine powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 102.0 x 104.0mm with a 9.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Vulcan 1700 Vaquero ABS measures 844.5 kg (1862 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 28 mm (1.1 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 65 mm (2.6 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 5.3-liter (1.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
