L ong, low and built with muscle to go. The cruiser world is set on fire with the all-new Vulcan@ 1600 Classic. When we say "Iong," we mean it. We stretched the Vulcan@ 1500 Classic's dimensions to achieve a Texas-sized, 67.1-inch wheelbase and an overall length more than eight feet. The result is outstanding handling and a raked-out look right from a custom shop. • You want to talk low? Drop into the 26.8-inch seat and set your boots firmly on the asphalt. That's one comfortable o ride. For power, we stroked the enormous 90-cu. in. SOHC liquid-cooled V-Twin engine of the Vulcan 1500 Classic to nearly 95 cubic inches, and added new cam timing and fuel-injection mapping for maximum low-and mid-range punch. Finally, we enhanced the style by adding a gorgeously shaped fuel tank thot features smooth edges and electronic instrumentation. A dream cruiser, indeed. o DOlIVn PaYIDents 0% Interest • Updated Vulcan cruiser engine measures 1,552cc or 95 cubic inches, the biggest Vulcan from Kawasaki, thanks to a longer stroke. • New, larger front brakes measure a massive 300mm ond feature dual twin-piston calipers for impressive braking performance. • New tonk-mounted electronic speedometer with LCD display for fuel level, odometer, tripmeter and clock • New external fins on the bright silver cylinders, new chrome cylinder head Offer good through April 30, 2003, at your Kawasaki dealer. and air cleaner covers create a stronger visual image for the revised engine. • New larger, more efficient multi-reflector headlight, special chrome-plated fork cover and new tum signals odd to the strong styling of the 1600 Classic. • Engine performance from low-to mid-range hos improved thanks to revised com timing and lift.
