Description

It's called classic for a reason: it draws its styling cues from days when everyone who was anyone had a muscle car, 8-tracks pumped the tunes out and a low-slung motorcycle turned heads. With its distinctive two-tone Special Edition pearl flat stardust white and flat ebony paint scheme and whitewall tires, the Vulcan® 900 Classic is definitely one bike to get noticed on, with its spoked wheels, low-slung seat and dual slash-cut mufflers.

  • Efficient and stylish belt drive runs cleaner and requires less maintenance than a chain

903cc V-twin

  • Tuned to deliver a healthy dose of torque at low rpm
  • Smooth and reliable
  • Gear-driven balancer allows use of single pin crankshaft without excessive vibration

Four-valve Cylinder Head

  • Provides maximum valve area for optimum flow, resulting in more power and more low-end torque
  • Single overhead cam design is simple, lightweight and practical
  • Extremely efficient intake tracts feature ports that narrow near the combustion chamber to increase intake flow speed for more efficient filling and increased torque
  • Long intake tracts for great low-end response

Liquid and Air Cooling

  • Exceptional thermal control with finned cylinders and cylinder head, combined with liquid cooling
  • Maintains consistent engine temperatures for long engine life and sustained power
  • Automatic fan keeps things cool even in traffic
  • Includes temperature warning light

Dual Slash-cut Mufflers

  • Big slash-cut mufflers look great and contain honeycomb catalyzers to reduce emissions

Positive Neutral Finder

  • Just lift the shift pedal from first gear at a stop to easily find neutral, every time

Electronic Fuel Injection

  • Dual throttle bodies with sub-throttles provide optimum performance and rideability
  • The sub-throttles, located behind the main throttle valve, are controlled by the ECU so that the DFI® system retains more precise throttle response, similar to a constant velocity carburetor
  • Fine-atomizing injectors produce a fine fuel mist for better acceleration, combustion and fuel consumption

Kevlar-Reinforced Belt Drive

  • Lower unsprung weight than shaft drive to improve ride quality and suspension action
  • More efficient so more power reaches the rear wheel compared to shaft drive
  • Cleaner and lower maintenance than chain drive

Double Cradle Frame

  • Very rigid large-diameter box section backbone allows a larger fuel tank, and helps contribute to lightweight handling at low speeds
  • Triangular swingarm looks like a hardtail design, but acts on a single shock hidden beneath the seat
  • Long and low for minimal seat height and maximum visual impact
  • Fork offset and frame geometry combine for light, low-effort handling at ultra-low speeds
  • Long wheelbase contributes to a comfortable highway ride

New Reshaped Seat

  • New seat shape offers increased lumbar support for improved rider comfort, and a longer seating area for the passenger
  • Ultra-low 26.8-inch seat height allows riders to easily plant both feet on the ground at stops
  • Laid-back riding comfort for two

Tank-mounted Speedometer with Turn Signal Indicators and Caution Lamps

  • Gives you the information you need at a glance
  • Compact design complements the bike’s clean look
  • 5.3-gallon fuel tank is largest in its class

41mm Front Fork

  • Excellent rigidity and 5.9-inches of travel – the most in its class
  • 32-degree rake angle for excellent straight line tracking
  • Wide fork pitch for classic look

Front and Rear Disc Brakes

  • The 300mm front and 270mm rear brake rotors are gripped by twin-piston calipers for some of the best stopping power in the class

Custom Spoke Wheels

  • Chromed steel rims and spokes
  • “Spool-style” polished aluminum front hub

Wide Rear Tire

  • 180mm rear tire provides added traction while projecting a powerful image
  • Wider tire than that found on most large-displacement cruisers
  • Widest rear tire in its class
