Главным нововведением Kawasaki VN1600 Vulcan стало использование нового двигателя увеличенного объема с 1470 см³ до 1552 см³ (за счет увеличения хода коленвала) с новым, более быстрым, блоком управления. Это позволило немного увеличить максимальную мощность (с 65 л.с. до 67 л.с.) и значительно увеличить характеристику крутящего момента (со 114 Нм / 2800 об. до 127 Нм / 2700 об.).

Модификация Mean Streak дополнительно получила увеличенные дроссельные заслонки (с 36 до 40 мм) и новую тормозную систему (с 2005 года): 6-поршневые суппорта были заменены - 4-поршневые радиального расположения.

Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 Classic

Kawasaki VN 1600 Vulcan cruiser series appeared on the market in 2003 as a continuation of the VN1500 Vulcan series, which, despite the appearance of a new model, was produced until 2008 inclusively, that is, during the entire production period of the VN1600.

Lineup:

Main competitors:

The main innovation of the Kawasaki VN1600 Vulcan was the new engine with an increased displacement from 1470 cc to 1552 cc (due to increased crankshaft travel) with a new, faster control unit. This allowed a slight increase in maximum power (from 65 hp to 67 hp) and a significant increase in the torque characteristic (from 114 Nm / 2800 rpm to 127 Nm / 2700 rpm).

The Mean Streak modification additionally received increased throttle valves (from 36 to 40 mm) and a new braking system (from 2005): 6-piston calipers were replaced by 4-piston radial arrangement.

In addition, the Classic version received alloy wheels and a double disc brake at the front. Also, the Classic and Classic Tourer (Nomad) modifications received an increased fuel tank (from 19 to 20 liters).

The Drifter modification was no longer offered.

Modifications:

  • Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 Classic - regular classic version.
  • Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 Classic Tourer - touring version. Equipped with a windshield, passenger backrest, passenger platforms for legs and wardrobe trunks. The model is distinguished by the shape of the exhaust system. In the North American market it was sold under the name - Nomad .
  • Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 Mean Streak - drag version. It has a boosted 74 hp engine, an inverted fork, sport brakes, shortened fenders, a one-and-a-half seat, a different instrument panel, a 17-liter fuel tank, 17-inch wheels and an extended swingarm.

2008 was the last year of production for the Kawasaki VN1600 Vulcan series, after which it was replaced by - Kawasaki VN1700 Vulcan.
