The Vulcan series was brought to life by the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer Kawasaki in 1984. It was a custom or touring series that comprised several motorcycles with the "VN" designation and powered mainly by V-twin engines with displacement ranging from 125 to 2,053cc.
Since its introduction, Kawasaki released several series with different engine displacements, including the 900 series that debuted in 2006 and continued production until the present (2023), comprising three versions: the Kawasaki Classic, Classic LT, and Custom.
The 900 Classic was the base version, while the Classic LT featured a large windscreen, saddlebags, a passenger backrest, and studded accents. The Custom version was the same as the Classic but with a wide 180 mm rear tire, a 21-inch thin front wheel, a smaller and lower-profile seat, and a drag-styled handlebar.
In 2013, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom, a cruiser motorcycle with standard features, such as a round headlight up front, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a one-piece dual seat, a dual slash-cut exhaust system, and aluminum wheels.
The 2013 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom had its heartbeat set by a 903cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine managed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, boasting 50 hp with maximum strength at 5,700 rpm and 106 Nm (78 lb-ft) torque at 3,500 rpm.
