THE 2012 Vulcan 1700 Classic ABS represents the latest evolution of Kawasaki’s big-bore V-Twin cruisers. The muscular engine utilizes an overhead cam to help boost acceleration, while the long-stroke design helps deliver more torque and horsepower.
The Vulcan 1700 Classic ABS is also fitted with Kawasaki’s first fully electronic throttle valve (ETV) system that provides better performance, throttle response and increased fuel mileage. A six-speed transmission with overdrive and carbon fiber drive belt deliver the power to the rear wheel, while a compact chassis and tuned suspension provide light handling. It’s all finished off with bodywork and engine covers that further distinguish the Vulcan 1700 Classic as Kawasaki’s latest big-bore cruiser.
