 Model Year  2007  2007
 Model  Vulcan® 2000  Vulcan® 2000
 Engine
  2,053 cc (125 ci) 52° V-twin, 4-stroke engine produces massive torque across the entire rpm range
  Forged pistons and alloy connecting rods are strong and light weight
  Huge 220 mm flywheel smoothes power delivery
  Push-rod valve actuation contributes to lower engine height, low center of gravity and relatively low seat height
  Hydraulic valve adjusters reduce maintenance
  Engine Control Unit (ECU) manages electronic fuel injection and digital ignition system optimize throttle response
  Fuel injection system features sub throttle valves for a smooth, linear power band
  Fuel injection system’s fine atomizing injectors deliver ultra-fine fuel/air mixture for greater combustion efficiency, increased power and optimum fuel economy
  Center spark plugs enhance combustion for smooth, consistent power and reduced emissions
  Liquid and air cooling maintain consistent operating temperatures
  Engine and transmission feature built-in oil and water pumps, reducing the number of parts and reducing weight
  Single-pin crank for the desirable power-pulse feel and classic V-twin sound
 Transmission / Final Drive
  A gear position sensor in the 5-speed transmission sends signals to the ECU, further enhancing fuel injection and ignition performance
  Belt final drive is smooth, quiet, reliable and low maintenance
 Frame and Suspension
  Steel double-cradle frame features large-diameter, box-section single-tube backbone for strength
  Engine is utilized as a stressed member of the frame to minimize chassis weight
  Steel tube swingarm is simple and elegant
  Direct-action single shock features spring preload and rebound damping adjustment with 3.9 in. of travel for a smooth ride
  Large 49 mm forks provide precise steering feedback and 5.9 in. of travel
 Wheels and Tires
  7-spoke, 16 in. cast aluminum wheels add to the Vulcan 2000’s high-quality look
  200/60R series rear tire is the largest stock tire size fitted to a mass-produced V-twin cruiser
  Radial tires enhance handling and give the Vulcan 2000 a firm, “planted” feel
 Brakes
  Dual 300 mm front disc brakes with 4-piston calipers and single rear disc brakes provide smooth, powerful stops
 Styling
  Stylish Nacelle headlight cover gives the Vulcan 2000 a high-class look
  Powerful, 4-bulb projector-type headlights brighten the road for nighttime rides
  “Stretched” 5.5 gal. fuel tank provides for long-distance road trips
 Other Features
  Chrome instrument panel keeps the rider informed with a large-face speedometer, LCD display and warning lamps
  Bucket-type front seat and sleek passenger seat provide all-day rider comfort and style
 Additional Features
  Forging its own styling path, the Vulcan 2000 features a powerful four-bulb, projector-type headlight encased in a signature chrome nacelle. A chrome instrument panel with large-face speedometer is mounted on a stretched flange-free fuel tank, and the V-shaped panel keeps the rider informed with an LCD display and warning lamps. The bucket-type saddle with locking passenger seat complements the Vulcan 2000’s long, curving silhouette while providing all-day riding comfort.
  The Vulcan 2000’s massive cylinders feature a black matte finish with polished cooling fins that provide a dramatic contrast. A push rod design reduces the 125 cubic inch engine’s height, which directly contributes to the Vulcan 2000’s low center of gravity and relatively low seat height. Cruiser enthusiasts will appreciate the classic V-twin sound emanating from the Vulcan 2000’s dual polished mufflers, thanks to its single-pin crankshaft, while dual counter balancers and rubber engine mounts keep it running smoothly.
  Sub-throttle valves and fine atomizing injectors help the Vulcan 2000’s fuel injection provide a smooth, linear power band with increased power and optimum fuel economy.
  The Vulcan 2000 rides on bright, cast aluminum 16-inch wheels with a 150/80 front radial tire and a huge, 200/60 rear radial tire. Dual 300 mm front disc brakes with four-piston calipers and a single rear disc brake with two-piston caliper bring this big cruiser to smooth, powerful stops.
