KAWASAKI VN900 Classic (2010-2011) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Kawasaki VN900, also known as the Vulcan 900 Classic, was a mid-sized cruiser motorcycle that debuted in 2006. Like Honda, Yamaha, and Suzuki, the VN900 model followed the same formula of a smaller power unit mounted in a slightly larger chassis.

The cruiser motorcycle had a low seat height, perfect for shorter riders, was powered by a V-twin engine coupled to a five-speed gearbox, and was similar in design to the Harley-Davidson Deluxe or Fat Boy.

After its unveiling, the press regarded the machine as favorable, referencing its aesthetics, physical presence, and equipment especially reserved for big-bore motorcycles.

In 2010, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki VN900 Classic, a cruiser motorcycle in its fifth year of production with the same visual, technical, and performance specifications as previous models without any modifications.

Visually, the bike packed standard features, such as a round headlight up front, a wide handlebar, a two-piece dual seat, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a slash-cut dual exhaust system, and wire-spoke wheels with fat tires.

Underneath its fuel tank, the 2010 Kawasaki VN900 Classic had installed a 903cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine managed by an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system, delivering an output power of 50 hp with maximum strength at 5,700 rpm and 79 Nm (58 lb-ft) torque at 3,700 rpm.
