Engineered by Kawasaki for the custom - cruiser motorcycle segment, the 2007 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic relies on a 903 cc (55.1 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 82.4 Nm (60.8 lb-ft) at 3,700 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 88.0 x 74.2 mm (3.5 x 2.9 inches) with a 9.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Vulcan 900 Classic measures 253.1 kg (558 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. The 20.06-liter (5.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
