Kawasaki's profilation of this bike
When gazing intently at the Kawasaki Vulcan® 1600 Mean Streak® motorcycle, the eyes naturally gravitate to the twist-grip throttle and the human brain begins to visualize the torque and acceleration of a true power cruiser. Clearly, Kawasaki named this liquid-cooled, fuel-injected power cruiser “mean” for a reason.
