Simply Classic

Choose the Vulcan 800 Classic for a more affordable (but plenty satisfying) cruising experience. Its smooth, balanced styling mirrors the larger Vulcan Classic’s, while the 805cc liquid-cooled V-Twin engine makes no apologies to anyone. Particularly in the city, the Vulcan 800 Classic’s lighter weight and lower seat height pay huge dividends for less experienced riders. Now that’s enjoying the classics.

The Kawasaki Vulcan® 800 Classic motorcycle is truly the epitome of custom-cruiser attitude – stacked with nostalgic traits, such as deeply valanced fenders and a big, fat tire on the spoked front wheel. Chrome covers make the fork downtubes shine and are complemented by a large chromed headlight housing. The tank-mounted speedometer adds extra custom-look appeal, as does the low-stepped seat. Classic styling, combined with modern performance features and affordable pricing, make this V-twin cruiser the leader of the pack on the sales floor.

Features:

• The Vulcan 800 Classic cruiser comes with these standard features: Single Overhead Cams.
Individual cam chains with automatic tensioners. Four-valve, free-breathing cylinder heads for maximum swept valve area. Smooth responding 36mm CVK carburetor fitted with an electric accelerator pump. And an internal gear-driven balancer to help deliver a smooth cruise.

• The transistor-controlled breakerless electronic ignition system with digital timing advance helps ensure precise throttle response and excellent fuel economy.

• The wide-ratio 5-speed transmission offers quick acceleration and a smooth overdrive top gear. Kawasaki’s exclusive Positive Neutral Finder makes finding neutral easy when you come to a stop.

• The twin-piston front brake calliper grips a drilled stainless steel rotor for confident braking performance.

• The Vulcan 800 Classic offers classic styling touches with its wider, deeply valanced front and rear fenders, its spoked wheels, its twin straight pipes and its bigger headlight.
