One gaze at the low-slung good looks
of the Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 Mean Streak and its hard to imagine
any serious motorcyclist not being interested in this liquid-cooled,
fuel-injected power cruiser. It quickly becomes obvious that
swinging a leg over this cruiser will open a new world of
torque, acceleration, and the admiring looks of other riders.
And that’s just the way Kawasaki’s engineers and
designers planned it.
