2016 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom | Motorcycle Buyer’s Guide
Raked out and pushing a tall 21-inch front wheel in contrast with the low-riding 15-inch rear, the 2016 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom establishes a big bike appearance.
With blacked out wheels, air cleaner, engine cases, handlebar, headlight, and rear fender struts, this is a showstopper at any parking lot or stoplight. A faux-hardtail look hides a single shock rear suspension, and the long forks aren’t just show—they have nearly six-inches of travel.
