Long, low and built to go. 1GOD CLASSIC VULCAN~ L ong, low and built with muscle to go. The cruiser world is set on fire with the allnew Vulcan® 1600 Classic. When we say "long," we mean it. We stretched the Vulcan® 1500 Classic's dimensions to achieve a Texassized, 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 ride. For power, we stroked the enormous 90cu. 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 that features smooth edges and electronic instrumentation.
