Long, low and built to go. VULCAN- '·600 CLASSIC 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 "Iong," 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. A dream cruiser, indeed. • Updated Vulcan cruiser engine measures 1,552cc ar 95 cubic inches, the biggest Vulcan fram Kawasaki, thanks to a langer stroke. • New external Bns on the bright silver cylinders, new chrome cylinder head and air cleaner covers create a stronger visual image for the revised engine. • Engine performance from low-to mid-range has improved thanks to revised cam timing and lift. Acceleration is stronger. • New, larger frant brakes measure a massive 300mm and feature dual twin-piston calipers for impressive braking performance. • New larger, more efficient multi-reflector headlight, special chrome-plated fork cover and new tum signals add to the strong styling of the 1600 Classic. • Revisions to the dual 36mm fuel injection throttle bodies and remapped settings offer improved performance. • New tonk-mounted electronic Speedameter with LCD display for fuel level, odometer, tripmeter and clock COLORADO Horizon Motorsports 805W.
