Kawasaki Vulcan 800 (VN800A)

Kawasaki VN 800 Vulcan was first introduced in 1995 as a replacement for the outdated version Kawasaki VN 750.

Lineup:

Main competitors:

Bike sales was focused on European and North American markets, selling until 2006, when it was replaced by Kawasaki VN 900 Vulcan. The American popularity of the 800th Volcano was due to the unique concept of the motorcycle, which in many ways resembled the Harley-Davidson Softail Custom - absolute simplicity without unnecessary attachments, classic American shapes and even the design of the air filter housing were almost identical.

Kawasaki Vulcan 800 was also sold for a limited time in the Japanese market - from 1996 to 1997. and from 1999 to 2000. In addition, a 400 cc version Kawasaki VN400 Vulcan was offered specifically for the domestic Japanese market, which differed from the older only in engine size and carburetor settings. The younger version was also sold in 3 main modifications.

Modifications:

  • Kawasaki VN 800 Vulcan - A-version of the motorcycle, has a shortened rear fender and a 21 'front wheel. This version is most similar to the Harley-Davidson Softail Custom.
  • Kawasaki VN 800 Vulcan Classic - B-version of the motorcycle, featuring classic fenders and 16 'wheels.
  • Kawasaki VN 800 Vulcan Drifter - the C-version of the motorcycle, it features large front and rear fenders that hide a significant part of the wheels and a rear disc brake.

The most popular in Russia is the classic version of the motorcycle (VN800B) - the custom version (VN800A) and Drifter (VN800C / E) are much less common on the market.

Kawasaki VN800 Vulcan features the most powerful engine in its class (60 hp - Canadian version), liquid cooling, 5-speed gearbox and chain drive. The forced (by the standards of the class) motor, coupled with the chain, provide the motorcycle with impressive dynamics - 5.8 seconds. up to 100 km / h and 173 km / h top speed, based on independent tests.

The Kawasaki VN 800 Vulcan was produced until 2006, after which it was replaced by Kawasaki VN 900 Vulcan. The updated model received a number of technical and visual differences - a new engine with an increased volume, an injector, a belt drive, an increased width of the rear tire, a rear disc brake, alloy wheels instead of spoked wheels, a new dashboard with a fuel level indicator, and more.
