KAWASAKI Vulcan 900 Classic (2012-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic was a mid-sized cruiser motorcycle that debuted in 2006, part of the Vulcan series that comprised several models with different engine displacements ranging from 125 to 2,053cc.

In the visual department, the Vulcan 900 Classic had a boulevard style like the Harley-Davidson Softail Deluxe or the Fat Boy and followed the same recipe as Honda, Suzuki, and Yamaha by fitting a smaller engine in a slightly larger chassis.

The bike packed standard features, such as a round headlight with a chrome housing, a wide handlebar, a teardrop-styled tank, a two-piece dual seat, a dual chromed exhaust system mounted on the right side, and lightweight wire-spoke wheels.

The bike was built around a double cradle high tensile steel frame with a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front and a uni-trak seven-position spring preload-adjustable shock absorber on the rear, offering optimum handling capabilities.

Braking-wise, the 2012 motorcycle packed 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, offering optimum braking performance.

As for power, the 2012 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic had installed a 903cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine underneath its fuel tank, fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, delivering 50 hp with maximum strength at 5,700 rpm and 79 Nm (58 lb-ft) torque at 3,700 rpm.
