KAWASAKIVulcan 1600 Nomad 2006 - Present

　　In 2006, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 Nomad, a cruiser motorcycle fitted with touring-oriented accessories that enhanced its cruising capabilities. The bike was also available in Classic and Mean Streak versions.

　　The bike had standard features, such as a round headlight up front, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank with an integrated instrument panel, a two-piece dual seat, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and seven-spoke aluminum wheels.

　　In addition to its standard features, the Nomad version packed a factory-installed large windscreen for better wind protection, forward-mounted floorboards, side-mounted hard panniers for extra storage, and a passenger backrest for more comfort.

　　The bike was built around a double cradle steel frame with a 43 mm telescopic fork on the front, and dual-side mounted four-way rebound adjustable shock absorbers on the rear, providing excellent handling capabilities.

　　The braking power was handled by two 300 mm discs coupled to dual-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 300 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel, offering optimum stopping performance.

　　As for the power figures, the 2006 Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 Nomad had installed a 1,552cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine underneath its fuel tank, fed by an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system, delivering 66 hp at 4,700 rpm and 127 Nm (94 lb-ft) torque at 2,700 rpm.
