KAWASAKIVulcan 1700 Vaquero ABS 2013 - 2014

　　In 2013, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Vaquero ABS, a cruiser motorcycle that debuted in 2011 alongside the Classic, Classic LT, Nomad, and Voyager versions part of the same series.

　　The 2013 motorcycle packed the same performance and visual specifications as the previous model but with a blacked-out appearance and a new safety feature in the form of an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) that delivered better handling and a safer riding experience.

　　In the aesthetic department, the bike packed blacked-out standard features, such as a large front fairing with a small windscreen, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a one-piece dual seat, color-matched side-mounted panniers, engine, fenders, wheels, and a dual chromed exhaust system.

　　The bike was built around a double cradle high tensile steel frame, packing a 45 mm telescopic fork on the front with 140 mm of travel and twin air-assisted four-way rebound-adjustable shocks on the rear with 80 mm wheel travel.

　　As for the braking performance, the new ABS worked in tandem with two 300 mm discs tied to dual-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 300 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the rear wheel, offering excellent stopping power and a shorter braking distance.

　　The 2013 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Vaquero ABS had its heartbeat set by a 1,700cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine managed by a fuel injection system, boasting 83 hp at 5,000 rpm and 146 Nm (108 lb-ft) torque at 2,750 rpm.
