Kawasaki Vulcan 2000 Classic Motorcycle
If Kawasaki’s VulcanŽ 2000 has the size and performance you seek, but traditional “cruiser” styling stirs your soul, then the Vulcan 2000 Classic is the motorcycle for you. Starting with same brawny chassis and engine found on the Vulcan 2000, the Classic is fitted with a traditional-style headlight, “buckhorn” handlebar bend, a plush passenger seat for increased comfort, and other special details.
Complimenting its time-honored good looks is the 2,053cc V-Twin fuel-injected adrenaline pump. The muscular engine sports a 103 x 123.2mm bore and stroke, forged pistons, alloy-steel connecting rods, a huge 220mm flywheel, and dual cams located within the one-piece crankcase.
Right-side pushrods actuate four valves per cylinder and help reduce the 125 cubic inch engine’s height; allowing a low center of gravity and relatively low seat height. Hydraulic valve lash adjusters automatically maintain zero valve clearance and provide a smoother, quieter operation.
Parallel to the 2000 Classic’s frame, matte black finishing on the cylinders provides a dramatic contrast to the polished cooling fins, which manage the temperatures for the bottom three-quarters of the engine. The top quarter of the V-twin engine is liquid cooled. Further cooling assistance comes via the oil and water pumps incorporated in the engine and transmission – which also serves as the oil tank.
Feeding the big V-twin is a fuel injection system with dual 46mm throttle bodies and sub throttle valves, all managed by an electronic control unit (ECU). Combined with an iridium spark plug ignition system, the sub-throttle valves and fine atomizing injectors deliver a sharp throttle response, big power and optimum fuel economy in a smooth, linear powerband. That classic V-twin rumble from the Vulcan 2000 Classic’s dual polished mufflers – thanks to its single-pin crankshaft – will delight cruiser enthusiasts. Vibration dampening dual counter balancers and rubber engine mounts will broaden their smiles even further.
