The '''Kawasaki Vulcan 400''' begins its history in 1985 and the model [[Kawasaki_EN400_Vulcan | Kawasaki EN400 Vulcan]]. This motorcycle was built on the basis of an in-line 2-cylinder engine, which was quite resourceful and powerful, and in character bears little resemblance to classic cruisers.

By 1995, the EN400 was leaving the market, giving way to the Kawasaki VN400 Vulcan. The new model already had the usual V-shaped engine and chain drive (the EN400 was equipped with a belt drive). It was this model that gained significant popularity not only in Japan, but also in Russia (mainly due to its low cost and similarity to the older 800 cc model).
Model Kawasaki VN 400 Vulcan is based on the older version [[Kawasaki_VN800_Vulcan | Kawasaki VN800 Vulcan]], differing only in engine size, carburetor and other minor changes. The interchangeability of parts of one and second model is very high - most of the VN400 parts are fully compatible with the VN800.
