True Classic Cruiser
The Vulcan 1700 Classic represents the latest evolution of Kawasaki's big bore V-Twin cruisers. An all new muscular engine utilises an overhead cam to help boost acceleration, while the increased displacement over the Vulcan 1600 Classic and the long stroke design help deliver both more torque and horsepower than its predecessor.
The Vulcan 1700 Classic is also fitted with Kawasaki's first fully electronic throttle valve system that provides better performance, throttle response and increased fuel mileage. A new six speed transmission with overdrive and carbon fibre drive belt deliver the power to the rear wheel while a new, more compact chassis and revised suspension provide light handling. It's all finished off with new bodywork and engine covers that further distinguish the Vulcan 1700 Classic as Kawasaki's latest big bore cruiser.
