The Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic was a mid-sized cruiser motorcycle, also known as the VN900B. The bike was part of the Vulcan series that debuted in 1984, which comprised several models with displacement ranging between 125 to 2,053cc.
The Classic version had two sisters: the Classic LT version that packed the same specifications but with additional accessories, such as a passenger backrest, saddlebags, windscreen, and studded accents, and the Custom with different wheel sizes, a smaller seat, and drag-styled handlebar.
The Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic had a boulevard style similar to the Harley-Davidson Softail Deluxe or the Fat Boy and followed the same formula as Yamaha, Suzuki, and Honda by installing a smaller engine in a slightly larger frame.
In 2011, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic, a cruising motorcycle in its sixth year of production that packed the same specifications as the previous model without any significant modifications.
As with previous models, it packed standard features, such as a round headlight, a teardrop-styled fuel tank, a two-piece dual seat, a dual exhaust system with two silencers mounted on the right side, and lightweight wire-spoke wheels.
As for the power figures, the 2011 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic had its soul brought to life by a 903cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 50 hp at 5,700 rpm and 79 Nm (58 lb-ft) torque at 3,700 rpm.
