2006 Kawasaki Vulcan 2000 Limited Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Kawasaki's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2006 Kawasaki Vulcan 2000 Limited relies on a 2053 cc (125.3 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 191.2 Nm (141 lb-ft) at 3,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 103.0 x 123.2 mm (4.1 x 4.9 inches) with a 9.5:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the Vulcan 2000 Limited measures 340.2 kg (750 lbs) dry.
