KAWASAKI VULCAN® 2000: MASSIVE POWER WITH A STRIKING PRESENCE

Avant garde Vulcan styling meets 125ci of V-Twin Muscle

Riders seeking something more from their motorcycle need look no further than Kawasaki’s awe-inspiring Vulcan® 2000 cruiser. With a massive presence and 2,053cc of rumbling V-Twin muscle, the 2000 has been heralded by media and owners alike as a perfect combination of power, style, and superb craftsmanship.

Forging its own styling path, the Vulcan 2000 Classic features a powerful four-bulb, projector-type headlight encased in a signature chrome nacelle. A chrome instrument panel with large-face speedometer is mounted on a stretched flange-free fuel tank, and the V-shaped panel keeps the rider informed with an LCD display and warning lamps. The bucket-type saddle with locking passenger seat complements the Vulcan 2000 Classic’s long, curving silhouette while providing all-day riding comfort.

The Vulcan 2000 Classic’s massive cylinders feature a black matte finish with polished cooling fins that provide a dramatic contrast. A push rod design reduces the 125 cubic inch engine’s height, which directly contributes to the Vulcan 2000 Classic’s low center of gravity and relatively low seat height. Cruiser enthusiasts will appreciate the classic V-twin sound emanating from the Vulcan 2000 Classic’s dual polished mufflers, thanks to its single-pin crankshaft, while dual counter balancers and rubber engine mounts keep it running smoothly.

Sub-throttle valves and fine atomizing injectors help the Vulcan 2000 Classic’s fuel injection provide a smooth, linear power band with increased power and optimum fuel economy.

The Vulcan 2000 Classic rides on bright, cast aluminum 16-inch wheels with a 150/80 front radial tire and a huge, 200/60 rear radial tire. Dual 300mm front disc brakes with four-piston calipers and a single rear disc brake with two-piston caliper bring this big cruiser to smooth, powerful stops.
