At the first glance, Kawasaki's 2014 Vulcan 1700 Nomad ABS may look like it has just rolled out the history books, but looks are the only thing retro about this nifty cruiser. From the ground up, and from the smallest bolt to the electronics operating it, this bike is as modern as it gets.
The 1,700cc v-twin may look like air-cooled engines, but its performance takes a hike thanks to the liquid-cooling. If it's the retro vibe you're after, you'll be glad to find out this power plant comes with a single-pin crankshaft design providing the classic rumble of older bikes.
However, digital fuel injection and a comprehensive onboard diagnostic system, coupled to the electronic throttle valve system and cruise control are separating the 2014 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Nomad ABS from the bikes of yore.
Kawasaki adds a 6-speed transmission, air-adjustable rear shocks, coactive-braking and ABS, alongside a heap of other technologies to make riding the 2014 Vulcan 1700 Nomad ABS as fun, economical and safe as it gets.
With an adjustable, optically-correct windscreen, touring seats and passenger backrest and the lockable leather-clad saddlebags, the 2014 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Nomad ABS is ready for a long vacation across multiple state lines and will happily carry rider and pillion from one ocean to the other. Add in the maintenance-free belt drive and you're all set for the trip.
The 2014 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Nomad ABS is available in two-tone Flat Ebony / Pearl Flat Crystal White for a base price of $17,499 (€13,105).
