2009 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Classic
Purposeful beauty with a traditional cruiser and high tech blend
Technology is supposed to make life easier, not busier and ever more complex. Kawasaki’s Vulcan® 1700 Classic cruiser employs the right amount of technology with a dose of old-fashioned simplicity to allow the rider to focus on the experience and not the machine. Its lighter, more compact frame holds a new engine utilizing a high-tech electronic throttle valve. Transferring the healthy torque output to the road is a new six-speed transmission with overdrive and super strong carbon fiber drive belt.
Building upon its Vulcan 1600 roots, the 1700 features a newly designed 1700cc engine based on the mighty Vulcan 2000. However, it uses a single overhead cam in each cylinder head rather than a push-rod actuated OHV arrangement. This permits faster revving and helps the Vulcan 1700 to provide quick acceleration and deliver superior passing performance at highway speeds. The new engine’s increase in compression, displacement and long-stroke design means significant torque and power gains over its predecessor.
On the technology front, the new Vulcan 1700 features Kawasaki’s first fully electronic throttle valve system, which together with the fuel injection system offers smooth, natural engine response. The electronic throttle valve enables the ECU to deliver an ultra-precise metering of both fuel and air to the engine. It also provides accurate cold-engine idling speed control, reduces rider fatigue and retains the “natural” throttle feel.
