Built around Kawasaki's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2006 Kawasaki Vulcan 2000 relies on a 2053 cc (125.3 cu in) 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 measures 340.2 kg (750 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 681 mm (26.8 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,735 mm (68.3 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 20.81-liter (5.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
