See the 19 9 6 Models at these Kawasaki Dealers Ninja® 2X·~_ Following in the path ot class-conquering introductions liketheZX-9R and the more reCent ZX6R, Kawasaki boldlytakes control of the750cc category with the debut of theNinj ZX-7R and its exotic, limitedproductionsibling, theNinjae ZX-7R. At the heart of this all new pulse-quickener is an engine and chassis that not only offers Kawasaki's unique brand of two-wheel excitement, but does it in a technology-packed manner heretofore unseen in the 750 class. The package ot acceleration, handling, and braking offered in the ZX-7R position It asthemount of choiceto serious riders for years to come. The new Vulcans for 1996 put together everything we all likeabout theAmerican cruiser motorcycle. They are long, low, and powerful. The engine Is the centerpiece. It sparkles with polished . aluminum and chrome. The sound is deep and throaty, a muted roar reminding the riderand everyone within hearing that the Vulcan is here. These motorcycles are about attracting atlentlon. They look good, they sound good, and they perform like a motorcycle should: good low end, lots ot torque, and great throttle respor.se. If tuming onlookers' heads was ever part of the motorcyclist's raison d'etre, then the exhibitionist lurking in every new or experienced rider will get its daywith Kawasaki's introduction of the Vulcan 1M 800 Classic. This "looker" follows in the tootsteps of last year's Vulcan 800 debut, and shares much ot thetechnology and performance characteristics built into thatmodel. While theoriginal edition of this four-stroke V-Twin certainly doesn't skimp in the style department, It doesn't offer thesame throwback appeal thattheClassic embodies. The newentry strives to capture thehard-core cruiser style, yet spikestheexperience withanundeniable link to the heritage of American motorcycling.
