  2007 Kawasaki Vulcan® 900 Custom
  Features and Benefits
  Engine - 903cc V-twin SOHC engine tuned to deliver lots of torque from low rpm - Smooth and reliable - Gear-driven balancer allows use of single pin crankshaft without heavy vibration
  Four-valve Cylinder Head - Better breathing for more power and low-end torque - Provides maximum valve area for optimum flow - Single overhead cam design is simple, lightweight and practical - Extremely efficient intake tracts feature ports that narrow near the combustion chamber
  to increase intake flow speed for more efficient filling and increased torque - Long intake tracts for great low-end response
  Electronic Fuel Injection - Dual throttle bodies with sub throttles provide optimum performance and rideability - The sub throttles, located behind the main throttle valve, are controlled by the ECU so that the
  DFI system retains more precise throttle response, similar to a constant velocity carburetor - Fine-atomizing fuel injectors produce a fine fuel mist for better acceleration, combustion
  and fuel consumption
  Liquid and Air Cooling - Finned cylinders and head combine with liquid cooling to provide exception thermal control - Maintains consistent engine temperatures for long engine life and sustained power - Automatic fan keeps things cool even in traffic - Includes temperature warning light
  Concealed Automatic Cam Chain Tensioner - Maintains precise valve timing with no maintenance - Assures greater reliability - Hidden from view to preserve the engine’s clean, basic look
  Dual Slash-Cut Mufflers - Dual slash-cut mufflers give the Custom a wild air
  - The mufflers are angled so that they look good when the bike is on its side stand
  - Include honeycomb catalyzers to help reduce emissions
  Belt Drive - Lower unsprung weight than shaft drive to improve ride quality and suspension action - More efficient so more power reaches the rear wheel - Low maintenance and low noise
  Double Cradle Frame - Large-diameter box section backbone is very rigid, allows use of a larger fuel tank, and
  helps contribute to high stability and lightweight handling at low speeds - Triangular swingarm appears to be a hardtail design, but acts on a single shock hidden
  beneath the seat - Long and low for minimal seat height, maximum visual impact - Fork offset and frame geometry combine for light, low-effort handling at ultra-low speeds - Long wheelbase adds to highway stability
  2007 Kawasaki Vulcan® 900 Custom, page 4 of 6
  Low Stepped Seat - Ultra-low 27 in. seat height allows riders to easily plant both feet on the ground at stops - Laid-back riding comfort for two
  Tank-Mounted Speedometer with Turn Signal Indicators and Caution Lamps - Chrome instrument console is slim and lightweight, contributing to the motorcycle’s
  elegant lines
  - Gives you the information you need at-a-glance - Compact design complements the bike’s clean look
  Wide Rear Tire - 180mm rear tire provides added stability while projecting a powerful image - Wider tire than that found on most large-displacement cruisers
  - New custom cast 15” rear wheel contrasts the “light,” tall front wheel.
  Custom Cast 21 in. Front Wheel
  - Arranged in pairs, the wheel’s 18 “spokes” were designed by hand
  - Tapered and flanged in two directions, every line and surface of each 3-D spoke is exquisitely curved
  41mm Front Fork - Excellent rigidity and 5.9 inches of travel - 33 degrees rake and 7.2 in. of trail for excellent straight line stability - Wide fork pitch for classic look
  Front and Rear Disc Brakes - A 300mm front and 270mm rear disc have twin-piston calipers for some of the best stopping
  power in the class
  Sculpted Bodywork
  - New fuel tank features a twin valley design, with a dynamic tension and presence all its own
  - The twin-valley design theme is continued in the rear fender. Like the tank, it is composed exclusively of curves with constantly varying radii, its hand-sculpted contours designed to be pleasing to both the eye and to the touch
  - The bottom of the rear fender features a relatively straight cut, to complement the lines of the motorcycle
  Additional Custom Features
  - Clean headlight design is small and isolated, there is no central fork cover or headlamp bar.
  - The headlamp, headlamp mount, lower triple clamp and turn signals are all chromed
  - The small, minimalist fender and lack of front fork covers also contribute to the slender appearance of the front end
  - The sporty, straight-style handlebar adds to the bike’s custom styling. Instead of handlebar clamps, twin tubes elegantly curve back from the upper triple clamp. Both the handlebar and twin tubes are completely chromed
  - One-piece “gunfighter” style seat is designed for comfortable rider and passenger accommodation
  and features a custom-style look
  - Chromed forward-mount footpegs are fitted (instead of floorboards) contributing to the custom image and improving rider control.
  - Chromed footpegs, shift lever and rear brake lever contribute to the Custom’s elegant
  appearance
  - Standard toe-operated shift lever (instead of a heel-toe shifter)

  Cette moto était sur le plancher du salon de Montréal en février 2006. Elle est magnifique et fait très monsieur, surtout en version toute habillée (pare-brise, sacoches, flancs blanc et selle/dossier cloutés). Par contre en m'assoyant dessus, j'ai trouvé le centre de masse un peu haut (lourde à soulever de la béquille) et le guidon trop large (tape dans la cuisse en braquage complet), laissant présager des manœuvres difficiles à basse vitesse en ville. Dans cette catégorie, j'aurais du mal à choisir entre une Boulevard C50 qui m'a semblée mieux adaptée à mon gabarit (5'6" & 155 lbs.). Mon chum qui fait 3" et 10 lbs. de plus que moi a quant à lui nettement préféré la Vulcan.

  Avec elle, même aller travailler c l'fun!

  La Vulcan 900 Classic était au salon de la moto mais pas la Custom. Il y a à peu près les mêmes différences entre les deux qu'il y a entre la V-Star Classic et Custom. :wink:
