Take The
Long Way
Fully-Loaded Dash & Audio
If youre going to spend hours in the saddle,
an accommodating dash and an audio system
are basic necessities. With large, easy-to-read
automotive-style gauges surrounding an LCD
information screen, the Vulcan 1700 Voyager
provides plenty of information without sacrificing
American style. Add to that an AM/FM stereo
with accessory mp3 player compatibility, and
youre cruising in your zone, with your tunes.
Cruise Control
If your goal is 200 highway miles before breakfast,
then youll love electronic cruise control which
helps you relax and enjoy the ride. A quick push
of your thumb locks in the speed you choose,
and toggling a button lets you easily accelerate or
decelerate while in cruise control mode.
2015
Rider Cockpit
With a color-matched inner fairing and distinctive gauge inserts, the riders view of the Vaquero lends
itself to the scenery of the open road. Small locking glove boxes on each side of the fairing provide
secure storage for garage door openers, sunglasses and other necessary items. Large, powerful
speakers deliver sound from the versatile stereo, and all the necessary information is displayed to the
rider via classically-styled analog gauges and a high-tech LCD display panel.

Unmistakably Classic
Fully loaded with big-bike styling cues in a more streamlined layout, the 2015 Vulcan 900 Classic motorcycle has
a traditional look. Big, bold fenders, wide whitewall tires, and spacious floorboards set the tone for a full day of
cruising. And with a 55-degree, liquid-cooled, SOHC V-Twin engine displacing 903cc, there is plenty of power to
get you down the highway. A bucket-shaped seat that positions you deeper in the bike provides support where
you need it for an extra touch of cruiser comfort.

Comfort
Whitewall Tires
A bold whitewall tire on a chrome spoke wheel is one of
the true classic pieces of custom motorcycle stylingand
it is just one part of an overall package that makes the
Vulcan 900 Classic fun to show off.
All-Day Comfort
A plush and ergonomically ecient seat allows the
rider to sit further in the pocket and offers significantly
increased comfort and support for short and long
rides. The new seat still provides a low overall height to
help get your feet flat on the ground for added stability
when moving the bike around at low speeds.
2015
Go The
Extra Mile
The 2015 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic LT presents a great option for riders who prefer a
middleweight bike with long touring capabilities. From the tip of its beefy 130-series front
tire mounted on a spoke wheel to the massive 180-series rear tire, the Classic LT looks like a
bigger bike. But when you slide into the low, sculpted seat and reach for the hanldebar, you
feel comfortable and ready to ride. The 903cc liquid-cooled V-Twin and five-speed transmission
offers plenty of get-up-and-go when needed, and with lots of chrome trim pieces, the Classic LT
is a head turner.
Supportive Seat
A comfortable bucket seat enables riders to
sit inrather than onthe motorcycle for
a saddled-in feel. Passengers are treated to
exceptional comfort as well, with an included
backreset supporting a plush flat seat. And for
eye-catching style, the perimeter of the entire
seat is dressed up with chromed-brass studs.
2015
Features For
Leather Saddlebags
The Classic LT supports your travel urges with high-capacity
leather saddlebagstrimmed with chromed-brass studs for
good looks. The bags add a classic styling element to the bike
and offer the functionality of carrying travel gear on a weekend
trip or grabbing groceries on the way home from work.
Height-Adjustable Windshield
Because no two riders are exactly alike, the windshield
on the Classic LT can be adjusted to suit your riding
position. It is optically clear and features a bold Vulcan
logo surrounded by chrome trim.

The Show
The 2015 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom motorcycle is a stock bike that looks custom
with a flat black and gloss black finish on the engine, pipes, fender struts, fork legs
and wheels. This along with a tall front wheel, big rear tire, drag-style handlebar and a
gunfighter-style seat, youll be riding in style no matter where you go. Head out on the
road and enjoy ample low- to mid-range torque while twisting the throttle thanks to the
potent fuel-injected, liquid-cooled 55-degree 903cc V-Twin. Dual disc brakes, belt drive
and a smooth-shifting five-speed transmission add to the riding pleasure of cruising
down the boulevard with everyone checking out your 900 Custom.

3D Spoke Wheel
Not only does the 21-inch cast aluminum
wheel and tire combination contribute to
light steering and easy maneuvering, it is
also eye catching. With a 3D spoke design,
the stock wheel resembles the expensive
aftermarket pieces seen on customs all
over the country.
