KAWASAKIVulcan 1500 Classic Tourer 1998 - Present

　　In 1998, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki Vulcan Classic Tourer, a cruiser motorcycle and a more touring-oriented version of the base model that came along with several touring accessories for more comfort on longer journeys.

　　Compared to the base model, the Classic Tourer had a factory-installed large windscreen for better wind and debris protection and side-mounted hard cases, allowing the rider and passenger to take more luggage on their extended hauls.

　　Besides the touring amenities, the bike packed the same standard features as the standard version, including a large round headlight up front, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank with an integrated instrument panel, a two-piece dual seat, and five-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.

　　Suspension-wise, the cruiser motorcycle packed a 43 mm inverted telescopic fork on the front and two side-mounted air-assisted and adjustable shocks, delivering excellent suspension performance and handling capabilities.

　　As for the braking power, the bike's wheels were fitted with two 280 mm discs tied to six-piston calipers on the front and a 330 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear, offering excellent stopping power.

　　Underneath its fuel tank, the 1998 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Classic Tourer had installed a 1,470cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine that delivered an output power of 64 hp at 4,700 rpm and 113 Nm (83 lb-ft) torque at 3,000 rpm.
