Se e the 1996 M odels at these Kawasaki Dealers Ninja® 2X·~ _ Following in thepath of class-<:onquering introductions likethe ZX-9R and themore recent ZX6R, Kawasaki boldly takes control of the 750cc category with the debut of the Ninj ZX-7R and its !! exotic, limitedproduction sibling, theNinja ZX·7R. At the heart of this ali 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 technoloqy-packed manner heretofore unseen in the 750 class. The package of acceleration, handling, and braking offered in theZX·7R position it as the mountof choice to serious riders for years to come. The new Vulcans for 1996 put together everything we all like about the American cruiser motor" cycle. They are long, low, and powerful. The engine is the centerpiece. lt sparkles with polished aluminum and chrome, The sound is deep and throaty, a muted roarreminding theriderand every" one within hearing that the Vulcan is here. These motorcycles are about attracting attention. They look good, they sound good, and they perform like a motorcycle should: good low end, lots of torque, and great throttle response. If turning onlookers' heads was ever part of the motorcyclist's raison d'etre, then the exhibitionist lurking in every new or experienced riderwill getits day withKawasaki's introduction of the Vulcan'" 800 Classic. This "looker" follows in the footsteps of last year's Vulcan 800 debut, and shares much of the technology and performance characteristics built into that model. While the original edition of this four-stroke V"Twin certainly doesn't skimp in the style depart" ment, it doesn't offer the same throwback appeal that the Classic embodies. The new entry strives to capture the hard-core cruiserstyle, yetspikes the experience with an undeniablelink to the heritage of American motorcycling.
