 Model  Vulcan® 1600 Classic  Vulcan® 1600 Classic
 1,552cc OHC V-Twin
  Tuned for low- and mid-range power to deliver gutsy acceleration in the typical cruising range
  Oversquare 102 x 95mm bore and stroke help ensure punchy response and a broad spread of satisfying power
 Liquid Cooling
  Maintains consistent engine temperatures for long engine life and sustained power during hard use
  Ring-type cooling fan is quiet and efficient
 Four Valves per Cylinder
  Compact combustion chamber for increased compression ratio without detonation on today's gasolines
  Dished piston crowns allow for 9.0:1 compression ratio
  Boosts low-end torque
  Provides maximum valve area for optimum flow
 Hydraulic Valve Lash Adjusters
  Keep valves quiet with no adjustment required
 Fuel Injection System
  Produces easy starting, smooth running, high performance and reduced exhaust emissions
 Fuel Pump
  Vertical return-type fuel pump inside tank prevents fuel starvation during hard braking or acceleration
 Dual Plug Digital Ignition
  Microprocessor-controlled timing
  Two spark plugs in each combustion chamber cut detonation for extra durability
 Gear-Driven Engine Balancer
  Counter-rotates at engine speed to cancel vibration
  Allows use of single-pin crankshaft without the heavy vibration
 Five-Speed Transmission
  Five-speed transmission combines great around-town acceleration with relaxed highway cruising
 High-Capacity Oil Pump
  Provides reliable lubrication during extended periods of high-speed, high-temperature operation
 Positive Neutral Finder
  Just lift the shift pedal from first at a stop to find neutral easily, every time
  A Kawasaki exclusive
 Shaft Drive
  A reliable and quiet, low-maintenance system
 Hydraulic Clutch
  Easy to operate and maintain
 Chamberless Dual Mufflers
  Dual slash-cut mufflers give increased power feel
  Catalyzers built into each muffler to meet emissions regulations
  ECU controls the electromagnetic solenoid valve of the secondary air system to further reduce emissions
 Frame
  Uses twin 40 x 40mm square cross section tubes to create single backbone
  Use of single backbone accommodates larger capacity fuel tank
  Detachable right-side downtube allows engine to be removed more easily
 Long and Low
  Overall package is longer and lower than Vulcan® 1500 Classic
 43mm Telescopic Fork
  Provides increased rigidity, superb steering feedback and excellent ride quality
 Dual Shocks w/4-way Rebound Damping
  Deliver superb comfort and high stability
 Brakes
  Dual 300mm diameter discs and 300mm single rear disc provide abundant stopping power
 Headlight and Turn Signals
  Front turn signals feature an integrated lamp/stay design for easy mounting
  Auto-canceling turn signals
 Dished Cast Wheels
  Allow the use of tubeless tires
  Large tires and wheels give 1600 Classic a tougher look
 Integrated Instrument Cluster
  Features LCD screen and tank-mounted ignition switch
  Incorporate fuel-injection warning lamp, fuel gauge, odometer, tripmeter and clock
  Ignition switch mounted on top of instrument cluster
 Details
  Self-canceling turn signals automatically shut off after eight seconds or traveling 213 feet
  Wider fenders enhance style
  Chrome-backed mirrors are stylish and corrosion resistant
  Locking left-side cover holds tool kit, while providing space for small items
