At the heart of the 2005 Kawasaki Vulcan 750 custom - cruiser motorcycle, Kawasaki pairs a 749 cc (45.7 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 84.9 x 66.2 mm (3.3 x 2.6 inches) with a 10.3:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Vulcan 750 measures 219.1 kg (483 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 734 mm (28.9 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,580 mm (62.2 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 13.62-liter (3.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
