Vulcan® 750 is an economically priced, mid-size cruiser that can hold its
own on the boulevard. From its torquey V-twin engine to its chrome-encrusted
bodywork to its low-slung riding position, the stylish 750 is an
attention-getter, no doubt. And, because a barrage of touring accessories
are available for the bike via Kawasaki’s Fire & Steel™ line, the versatile
Vulcan 750 cruiser even passes muster on the touring circuit.
Powered by a liquid-cooled, double-overhead-cam 749cc V-twin, the Vulcan 750
is simultaneously powerful and low-maintenance. Hydraulic valve lash
adjusters automatically keep the eight-valve cylinders at optimum
adjustment, thus eliminating unwanted valve noise. Liquid cooling increases
overall engine durability, and the frame-mounted radiator is unobtrusive and
doesn’t detract from the cruiser’s appearance. The engine itself is
rubber-mounted within the double-cradle, high-tensile steel frame to help
stave off vibration at the handlebar and footpegs.
A low-maintenance shaft drive conveys power from the five-speed transmission
to the beefy 15-inch rear wheel. Plus, the easy-shifting gearbox is endowed
with Kawasaki’s exclusive Positive Neutral Finder, which allows for easy and
accurate shifting from first into neutral while stopped. Air-assisted rear
shocks with four clicks of rebound damping adjustment offer a smooth and
controlled ride, while dual front discs provide reliable stopping power.
Full instrumentation, including both coolant-temperature and fuel-level
gauges, and a centerstand are standard fare.
