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

Baigneur Model 2016

A good machine, but twenty or so extra horsepower wouldn't go amiss. Minimalist, poorly placed speedometer and indicator lights. 06/02/2019 20:48 Rating : 3/5 Respond to Baigneur

L'équilibre parfait

Jerem Model 2012

Hi, happy owner of a VN 900 Classic special edition from 2012, I can only praise it...pretty (very), smooth sound, easy to get to grips with, comfortable and natural riding position, torquey etc. Its only flaw (typical of custom bikes) is that it lets the rider struggle against the wind at high speed. But then, it's a custom bike, not a super sports bike! 02/25/2016 06:58 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Jerem

Bonne et pas cher

Heureux homme Model 2013

To dress it up in its own way, this VN is very docile. But you don't have to look only to Kawa. I'd go so far as to say that accessories are reduced to a minimum and are all the same...for everyone! No steering damper assembly, overpriced passenger platforms, no spring-loaded saddle, no removable saddlebags, and on and on and on... All in all, a good bike with a certain charisma. A little too American for my taste. I'd have preferred it to be more on the European side. Low on fuel consumption (4.2L/100Kms), with a real motorcycle song (not a howl!), it's reassuring to ride. It's beautiful, almost alive. It's a motorcycle/mountain bike that you take such good care of, because you love it so much. This is NOT a fake Harley Davidson, but a REAL Kawasaki! Let's face it. 10/08/2013 20:23 Rating : 4/5 Respond to Heureux homme

Goupil Model 2013

It's a beautiful bike, but the two-tone paint is, in fact, a kind of brittle matte icing sugar that's just waiting to peel off at the slightest hitch, and it's quite thick. A real paint job would have been better. As for the beast's flexibility, it's really lacking, and it's hard on the back when going over speed bumps and other potholes. Otherwise, it's super nice and has a lovely sweet sound. 01/30/2013 17:15 Rating : 4/5 Respond to Goupil

Theoalca Model 2011

Hi, I'm off to my dealer tomorrow to order this model and have it fitted with a sissy bar, windscreen and saddlebags.
On condition that he takes back my Moto Guzzi Bréva 750, which is in perfect condition and the ideal bike to get used to. 04/13/2012 18:40 Rating : 4/5 Respond to Theoalca
