The Kawasaki VulcanŽ 1500 DrifterŽ motorcycle captures the essence of the 1940s, an era when Route 66 was the scenic route of choice for many and the most desirable motorcycles were powered by big V-twin engines.
The Drifter hearkens to yesteryear with a low, slung chassis, sculpted fenders and a fishtail muffler, but underneath its retro styling and abundance of chrome is the advanced engineering and electronics of a modern motorcycle.
A big, 90 cubic-inch, liquid-cooled V-twin engine provides the Drifter with modern cruiser performance. High compression and aggressive cam timing provide the healthy power output, while each cylinder features a single overhead cam actuating four valves. Hydraulic valve lash adjusters reduce maintenance.
