CYCLE NEWS CRUISER BUYERS GUIDE
2018 KAWASAKI
The Classic's light touring
version adds leather
saddlebags and a
windshield to the mix for
weekend tripping. Liquid
cooling makes sure your
ride can handle the full
day's heat on the road.
The Vaquero's fuel-injected
52-degree V-twin engine
delivers high torque levels
with a powerful and distinct
feel and its electronic
cruise control system can
be activated in 3rd gear
or at any speed between
30mph and 85mph. The
frame-mounted fairing
keeps steering feel light
by directing aerodynamic
forces into the chassis.
