KAWASAKIVN1700 Classic LT 2011 - 2012

　　In 2011, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki VN1700 Classic LT, a cruiser motorcycle that debuted in 2009. The 2011 motorcycle packed the same technical, visual, and performance specifications as the previous model, except for minor modifications.

　　The 2011 Classic LT cruiser featured an improved and quieter shifting action due to the revised first gear ratio, taller teeth on the third and fourth gears, and an improved Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system that matched the new intake manifold for better throttle response.

　　The bike had standard features, such as a round headlight with a chromed housing up front, a teardrop-styled tank, a two-piece dual seat, a dual exhaust system, and nine-spoke lightweight alloy wheels.

　　In addition, the Classic LT version was fitted with several touring-oriented accessories, such as a large windscreen for better protection, a passenger backrest for more comfort, and side-mounted saddlebags for extra storage.

　　The 2011 Kawasaki VN1700 Classic LT had its soul brought to life by a 1,700cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 73 hp with a peak force at 5,000 rpm and 136 Nm (100 lb-ft) torque at 2,750 rpm.

　　As for braking power, the bike packed two 300 mm discs with dual-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 300 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the rear wheel, delivering optimum braking performance.
