It’s called Custom because this is how riders did it back when they rolled their own: A flat handlebar sits in custom clamps atop distinctive forks that hold a tall, slender custom-looking front wheel. A bobbed (as in shortened) rear fender perches over a fat tire, and cool, clean components fill out the middle — including a rumbling fuel-injected 903cc V-twin exhaling through dual slash-cut exhausts, a low gunfighter-style seat and forward-mounted footpegs complete its rakish image.

Wasn’t Really Built In A Custom Shop; It Just Looks, Rides and Feels That Way!

It’s called Custom because this is how riders did it back when they rolled their own: A flat handlebar sits in custom clamps atop distinctive forks that hold a tall, slender custom-looking front wheel. A bobbed (as in shortened) rear fender perches over a fat tire, and cool, clean components fill out the middle — including a rumbling fuel-injected 903cc V-twin exhaling through dual slash-cut exhausts, a low gunfighter-style seat and forward-mounted footpegs complete its rakish image.

The crown jewel in Kawasaki’s mid-size cruiser family, this chromed-out machine is more than just good looking. Like its siblings, the Vulcan® 900 Custom has a fuel-injected 903cc engine producing exceptional roll-on acceleration that rivals the get-up-and-go of much larger motorcycles — yet it’s wrapped in a nimble chassis that lets it turn and handle like no heavyweight motorcycle can.

The 900 Custom’s unique design gives it the edge to stand out from the crowd. Kawasaki engineers and designers concentrated on delivering a motorcycle with a customized appearance typically found only on expensive two-wheel offerings. A massive rear tire, light-looking front end accentuated by a thin 21-inch cast wheel, and sculpted bodywork top the stand-out features of the Vulcan 900 Custom.

Perhaps one of the most striking examples of this Vulcan cruiser’s distinctive look is its large diameter 21-inch front cast wheel — itself somewhat rare in the custom-building world. The wheel features spokes arranged in pairs for a special visual appeal. Balancing the lightweight look of the front end is a low, wide rear wheel featuring a
180mm tire on a 15-inch cast wheel that gives the rider the feeling of sitting on a one-of-a-kind, made-to-order motorcycle.

Bridging the visual contrast between the front and rear wheels is a sleek and subtle fuel tank. Its flowing lines easily lead the eye along the careful and delicate curves that blend together the highly customized form of this gem of mid-sized cruisers. A matte black frame provides an understated framework for the Kawasaki artistry that is the appealing and gutsy, fuel-injected V-Twin Vulcan 900 Custom. Its stylish aesthetics grace a platform that’s perfect for customization with Kawasaki accessories.

Ready for anything from local streets to highway speeds, the Vulcan 900 Custom’s good power, excellent stability, easy maneuverability, and startling good looks make this Kawasaki the one to own. The only hard part is deciding which of the color selections to choose; Candy Surf Blue, Candy Persimmon Red or Metallic Flat Spark Black?

Want an even more exclusive ride? Then the “Special Edition” model may satisfy that craving. For a mere $300 more, the Vulcan 900 Custom SE comes with all the trappings of an expensive handmade creation for a fraction of the cost and none of the maintenance headaches. It features a special black-out treatment on the air cleaner and engine cases, countered by aggressive orange valve covers. The Vulcan 900 Custom SE is finished off with the Special Edition Ebony color scheme of flat black paint with tribal orange and white pin striping.
