Kawasaki VN2000 Vulcan Classic LT

The Kawasaki VN 2000 Vulcan was first introduced in 2004 and was produced until 2010. The introduction of this model to the market was driven by Kawasaki's desire to make the largest cruiser with the most powerful engine, but with the control of a typical classic cruiser. So the Kawasaki VN 2000 Vulcan was born.
