KAWASAKI Vulcan 900 Classic (2009-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic, also known as the VN900B, was a mid-sized cruiser motorcycle manufactured by Kawasaki from 2006. Like Honda, Yamaha, and Suzuki, the Vulcan 900 followed the same formula of a smaller engine fitted in a slightly larger chassis.

In 2009, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic, a cruiser motorcycle with a boulevard style similar to the Harley-Davidson Softail Deluxe or the Fat Boy. The bike was in its fourth year of production and came with the same package as previous models.

The bike had standard features, such as a round headlight with a chromed housing up front, a wide, pulled-back handlebar, a teardrop-styled tank with an integrated instrument panel, a dual seat, a dual chromed exhaust system with two silencers on the right side, and wire-spoke wheels.

At its core, the 2009 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic had installed a 903cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, delivering an output power of 37 hp at 5,700 rpm and 79 Nm (58 lb-ft) torque at 3,700 rpm.

The bike was built around a double cradle steel frame with a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front, offering 150 mm of travel, and a uni-trak shock absorber on the rear with 100 mm of travel, delivering optimum suspension performance and handling.

As for the braking power, the bike's wheels were fitted with a 300 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the front wheel and a 270 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel.
