See the 1996 Models at these Kawasaki Dealers Following in t he path of class-conquering introductions like the ZX-9Rand the more recent ZX- ' 6R, Kawasaki boldly takes con trol of the 750cc category with the debut of t he N inja~ ZX-7R and it s exotic, limited production sibling, the Nlnja~ ZX·7R. At t he heart of th is all new pulse-qui ckener is an engine and chassis th at not only offers Kawasaki's uni q ue brand of two-wheel excitement, but does It in a tech nology-packed manner heretofore unseen In the 750 class. The package of acceleration , handli ng, and braking offered in the ZX·7R pos ition it as th e mou nt of cho ice to serious riders for years to, come. The new Vulcans for 1996 put toge ther every1hlng we all li ke about the American cruiser motorcycle. They are long, low, and powerful. The engine is the centerp iece. It sparkles with polished aluminum and chrome. The sound is deep and throaty, a muted roar remind ing the rider and every · one with in hearing th at the Vulcan is here. These motorcycles are about attrac ting attention. They loo k good, they sou nd good , and they perform lik e a motorcycle shou ld: good low end, lots of torque, and great throttl e response. If turning onlookers' heads was ever part of the mot orcyclist's raison d'etre, then the exhibl· tionistlurking In every new or experienced rider will get its day with Kawasaki 's introd uction of the Vulcan™ 800 Classic. This " looker" follows in the footsteps of last year's Vulcan 800 debut, and shares muc h of the technology and performance characteristics built Into that model. Whil e the original edition of this four-stroke V-Twin certainly doesn 't skimp in the style department, it doesn 't offer the same throwback appeal that the Classic embod ies. The new entry strives to capture the hard-core cruiser style, yet spikes the experience with an unde niable link to the heritage of American motorcycling.
