But you'll take it as a compliment as you fire up the 90 cu. in. fuel-injected V-Twin on your Vulcan® 1500 Mean StreaPM and power onto the highway. To those aboard lesser cruisers, one glimpse of the Mean Streak proves this is no ordinary cruiser. The giveaways? Chromed shotgun exhausts flowing past dual lay-down shocks. A rigid inverted fork with massive dual disc brakes from our Ninja® ZX-9R sportbike. A special frame with sharper steering geometry for tremendous handling. And fat 17-inch wheels and immense radial performance rubber. But don't forget what's inside the Mean Streak: a stronger crankshaft with special pistons, gnarly camshafts and a special lightweight valvetrain for maximum high-rpm power. So let'em talk about you. And let the Mean Streak talk for you. • The Mean Streak cruiser's high performance is based in traditional hot-rodding techniques. Bigger valves. Higher lift cams. Free-breathing exhaust. larger throttle bodies. Reprogrammed digital fuel injection. Different digital ignition timing. New lower transmission ratios. • Mean Streak's performance package includes solid Kawasaki engineering and technology: liquid coaling. 4-valve alloy cylinder heads. lightweight pistons. Single Overhead Cams. Dual spark plugs per cylinder. Hydraulic valve lash adjusters. • Each cylinder has a 102mm bore and 90mm stroke which provides punchy response and plenty of high-rpm power when needed. • The digital fuel injection system with two huge 40mm throttle bodies feeds each cylinder. A seporate intake tract for each throttle body provides smooth engine operation, plus the tip of each injector contains four nozzles, with two of those aimed at each intake valve for optimum fuel atomization.
