presentation of the VN 900 Classic Special Edition 2016
you've been seduced by the Vulcan 900 Classic, but you'd like a little more style, a little more sass. The Special Edition is here to offer you an alternative. Visually, two-tone paint alternates with darker trim elements. Chrome still makes its presence felt, on the exhausts, indicators and rear-view mirrors, but it fades away on both sides. Matte black has taken over the fork, cylinder heads, headlight, side covers, air filter and rear mudguard arms. The classic look remains with spoked rims, large handlebars, V-twin and hard-tail subframe. The little extra: a special logo on the fuel tank. It was possible to complete the livery by opting for whitewall tires, as on the American Vulcan 900... from 2015
