Kawasaki drifter...

Kawasaki Vulcan Drifter: The Kawasaki Vulcan Drifter is all about the mood of the era of the 1940’s with its sculpted fenders, low slung chassis, and fishtail muffler. Not to be outdone in power and design architecture, the Vulcan is the stretch limousine of cruisers, and underneath all this, is the advanced engineering of Kawasaki. The Vulcan 900 was the first cruiser to have the V twin engine. The Vulcan Drifter was first introduced in 1999 and was declared as ‘a work of art’ and is on permanent display at the Museum of Architecture and Design collection of the Chicago Athenaeum. The Vulcan Drifter 800 was launched in 1999 and was available in the US from the year 2000.The engine is borrowed from a 805cc V-twin SOHC four-stroke engine with a single-pin crankshaft for a classic V-twin rumble and gear driven balance to reduce vibration. And the Drifter 1500 has its engine taken from the Vulcan 1500 which is a four stroke liquid cooled SOHC 50° V twin, and the only difference is that the Drifter comes equipped with new pistons for increased compression.

All about the Motorcycle - Kawasaki Vulcan Drifter: The Kawasaki Drifter 800 and the 1500 are all about the 1940’s vintage look, but the technology below the curves is the latest that can be offered. The engine used in the 800 Drifter is an 805cc V-twin SOHC four-stroke, which has a liquid cooling system for better thermal control. It has better throttle response and fuel efficiency because of the K-TRIC sensor. The rear suspension of the cruiser is not hidden in order to maintain the vintage look, but it has the latest rear suspension system, the K UNI-TRAK. The disc brakes provide plenty of stopping power, and the seat is low and comfortable, which also allows the rider to lower his feet at stops. The floorboards are wide enough to provide a relaxed sitting position, and changing gears is made simpler and faster because of the heel-toe shifter.

And the most popular cruiser, the K Vulcan 1500 Drifter, is also liquid cooled which betters its road performance. The four valve cylinders have increased compression, and the aggressive cam timing provides a healthier power output than the classic Vulcan 1500 engine. The cylinders have a Mitsubishi fuel injection system and a separate intake tract for each throttle, once again providing smooth engine operation. It also has an in-built electronic chip that enables sensors to monitor cooling temperatures, atmospheric pressure, throttle position, and intake air pressure to maintain the amount of fuel delivered. It also has an electronic speedometer that includes a LED display for the tripmeter and odometer. Plus, it has a self-start ignition that gets the engine started and warmed up. The suspension of the 1500 Drifter provides superior handling and a relaxed ride.

The Kawasaki Drifter is the most accessorized cruiser from the billet and chrome, seat covers and back rests, to the electronics, handlebars and wheels. Special Kawasaki clothing and gear are also available. Every type of Kawasaki accessory can be viewed and purchased online at discount prices.
