Overview
Touring in Classic Cruiser Style for an Affordable Price
Riders wanting to hit the open road on an affordably priced touring cruiser need look no further than the Vulcan® 900 Classic LT. This V-twin cruiser has the necessary touring goods to comfortably rack up the miles. Both rider and passenger will appreciate the adjustable windshield, the deep-dyed saddlebags, and passenger backrest. The matching chrome brass studs on the seat, saddlebags, and backrest highlight Kawasaki’s attention to detail, while the Vulcan’s superb engineering and dependability record provide peace of mind when traveling.
The Vulcan 900 Classic LT offers riders as much substance as it does cruising tourer style. The fuel-injected 903cc V-twin engine gives good roll-on acceleration thanks to its ample torque. Combine the eager engine with an agile chassis, and you’ve got a motorcycle that will out maneuver larger, heavier bikes. Riders with the itch to travel will find the Classic LT as comfortable on winding rural highways as it is on the interstate as you set out to mark more destinations off your list.
At the core of the Classic LT cruiser’s touring package are striking, top-grain, reinforced cowhide saddlebags that provide ample storage. The leather is carefully selected to minimize flaws and deep-dyed to prevent scraping off the finish. The ideally sized bags feature a slant-top opening held shut by two 1.5-inch wide leather straps fitted with chrome buckles and stealth quick-release fasteners. The rolled and riveted top lids, along with metal reinforced upper edges on the bags, help maintain shape and keep unwanted moisture out of the bags. An embossed Vulcan logo on the reinforced dual-panel lids and chrome-plated brass studs finish off the look of these bags.
