Vehicle Information
Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Motorcycle - Street (2006-2026)
The Kawasaki Vulcan 900 series, introduced in 2006 and produced through 2026, has maintained its core identity as a mid-sized cruiser. It was launched as a successor to the Vulcan 800, featuring a larger displacement engine and electronic fuel injection. All Vulcan 900 models from 2006 to 2026 consistently feature a 903cc (55.1 cu in) liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, SOHC, 4-valve per cylinder, 55-degree V-twin engine, paired with a 5-speed transmission and a belt final drive. The Vulcan 900 did not undergo a full "generation change" in the traditional sense, as its fundamental engine architecture and frame design have remained remarkably consistent. Key developments include its introduction in 2006 as an all-new model, replacing the Vulcan 800, with a new 903cc engine and electronic fuel injection. A slight reduction in peak horsepower (from 50 hp to 48 hp) was noted from 2013 onwards for some trims, like the Custom, likely due to emissions compliance or tuning adjustments. For the 2026 models, an increase in maximum horsepower to 51 hp is reported. The three primary trims – Classic, Classic LT (touring), and Custom – were all introduced in 2006 and continue to be offered, each with its distinctive styling. FAQ:
