Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom

The Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom, being a cruiser, definitely has eye-turning looks, which keeps the riders and bike enthusiasts awestruck. A number of components, featured by the bike, add up to give the bike the elegance of cruiser bikes. The fuel tank is the centerpiece of the bike, which draws meticulous attention to the bike with its carefully sculpted contours and curves.

Every detail of the bike, from its exhaust pipes to its engine, adds to the perfectness that the company has added. The curvaceous shape of the exhaust pipes and the v-twin engines are only a few of the details, which make the bike a treat for eyes.

The Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom comes with great handling and riding prowess. The bike is designed to offer the rider a great control over the handling. The weight distribution of the bike, heavy and bulky on the rear end and a light weighing front part, make the bike easy to control on heavy traffic roads. The bike carries a kerb weight of around 275 kilograms, which is quite heavy, but the dynamics help the rider with this.

The Vulcan 900 Custom, for suspension, offers a telescopic fork for the front and for the back, there is a Uni-trak twin-sided suspension arm, both of which offers adjustable shock pre-load. The 80/90 R21 front tire does not have a role in this, but the 180/70 R15 rear tire is flat enough to give the rider a great riding experience and handle the bike with great efficacy at the same time.

The Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom fuels a 900cc four-stroke, SOHC, liquid-cooled V-twin engine that is as elegant in generating an enormous amount of power as it is in looks. The machine generates a maximum power of 50.3 hp at just 5,700 rpm and a peak torque of 78 Nm at just 3,700 rpm. This means that the bike can reach great speeds in a very short time and give a good power output on difficult roads.

With such a huge power output, the bike also delivers a smooth transmission which transmits the power output very efficiently to its wheels. The Vulcan 900 Custom features a 5-speed manual gearbox assembly which works very smoothly to generate the perfect amount of power at any specific gear.

The Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom, being a cruiser bike, takes care of the safety aspect of the rider at every step. Each component is designed keeping the rider’s safety in mind. The bike features a 300 mm front hydraulic disc brake and a rear hydraulic disc brake, which gives enough stopping power to the rider to halt from a high speed without the fear of tripping over.

The Vulcan 900 Custom, however, lacks ABS, which is a must in a bike with 900cc displacement engine power. Other features like the suspension and the shock absorbers, works very efficiently to deliver handling and stopping power to the rider. The wheelbase, the ground clearance, and the seat height also add to help with the safety for the rider.

The Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom puts up with the standards of cruiser bikes and also creates some tough competition for other cruisers. The key features include the power, transmission, and handling. But above all, the looks and the design can barely be matched. The bike lags behind in some safety features, which could be disappointing for the potential buyers as safety cannot be overlooked. Apart from that, the Vulcan 900 Custom is worth every single penny paid.
