Kawasaki's profilation of this bike
If the awesome size, power and performance of the Kawasaki Vulcan® 2000 is appealing, but a more traditional “cruiser” look is your style, the Vulcan 2000 Classic is the motorcycle you seek. A traditional-style headlight, “buckhorn” handlebar bend, a plush passenger seat for increased comfort and other special details adorn the same brawny chassis and engine found on the Vulcan 2000.
