Features and Benefits
106 CUBIC-INCH FREEDOM V-TWIN
Whether you're finding your way across town or cruising the city's glass canyons, the Freedom V-Twin power plant delivers 97 horsepower and 113 ft lbs of green-light torque with ultimate authority. The heart of every Victory Cruiser machine, it informs the world of your arrival with every crack of the throttle.

6-SPEED OVERDRIVE TRANSMISSION
The best performing transmission on the street collects the power generated by the massive V-twin and allows the Victory Kingpin to roll fluidly between the curbs. Helical-cut gears ensure that each shift will be as smooth and clean as the bike itself.

113 FT LBS TORQUE
Press the starter and you can feel deep in your chest an eruption of low-end torque. With each precision-tuned piston stroke, the Freedom V-Twin's 4-valve overhead cams and perfectly matched 6-speed overdrive transmission promise to provide unmatched throttle response, acceleration and passing power.

INVERTED FRONT FORK
Kingpin's classic look pleases every rider walking up to it. But that feeling is turbocharged when taking the Kingpin through the twisties. The beefy inverted front fork sends more rigidity forward, providing better handling at every turn.

FULL FLOORBOARDS
Stable and highly comfortable platforms make a rider's feet feel as firmly grounded as the bike itself, and allow for more confident shifter stomping from heel to toe.

FULL-LENGTH CLASSIC FLARED FENDERS
The signature Kingpin fenders feature long, flowing sheet metal that complements the bike's overall styling and puts a modern spin on classic cruiser design.

OPTIONAL TOURING ACCESSORIES
Born a cruiser, Kingpin's smooth handling and comfortable seating position makes it an ideal candidate for the longer haul. Suit it up with touring accessories - trunk and saddlebags to start with - then take off and travel well beyond the comfort zone of other cruisers.

The Engine Features
A 1783cc, 8-valve DOHC, 54-degree, liquid-cooled, fuel injected V-Twin engine is designed for strong throttle response and quick acceleration.

Suzuki's class-leading electronic fuel injection system features the Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve system (SDTV) with 56mm throttle bodies, which maintains optimum air velocity for smooth low to mid-range throttle response.

A massive 112mm bore and 90.5mm stroke is complemented by huge 112mm forged aluminum-alloy pistons featuring race-proven design to reduce friction and internal mass, with short skirts, and cutaway sides riding on chrome-molly steel connecting rods.

The engine bore is lined with Suzuki's race proven SCEM (Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material) for optimum heat transfer, tighter piston-to-cylinder clearances and reduced weight.

A dual spark plug per cyclinder ignition system is controlled by a powerful 32-bit ECM for improved combustion efficiency and reduced exhaust emissions.

A unique two-stage cam drive system creates a compact cylinder head design, reduces overall engine height and creates a lower center of gravity.

A three-piece, 9.5-liter volume airbox (with dual intakes) includes two pleated fabric air cleaner elements located on both sides of the engine.

Chassis Features
A high-tensile double cradle steel frame is built to confortably handle all the power and torque while delivering agile handling and a plush, smooth ride.

Inverted front forks feature race-proven cartridge internals with 46mm stanchion tubes and provide 5.1-inches of wheel travel.

Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom, 2012

 

• Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom, 2012

Inspired by the streets, inspired by history. The Vulcan 900 Custom and Custom Special Edition both draw from the styling cues from back in the day and modern times. There’s plenty to like about the Custom’s styling profile, from its aggressive flat handlebar to forward footpegs. The stylish cast wheels, including a solid-look rear wheel, give it a distinctive appearance. And the 180-series rear tire is the largest in its class, highlighting its big bike style. And its affordable price tag makes the Custom an even more appealing ride.

The Vulcan 900 Custom’s appeal is more than just paint-deep. It has a fuel-injected 903cc engine that produces exceptional roll-on acceleration rivaling the get-up-and-go of much larger motorcycles – yet it’s wrapped in a nimble chassis that lets it turn and handle like no heavyweight motorcycle can.
The 900 Custom’s unique, edgy design shows it can stand out from the crowd. Kawasaki engineers and designers concentrated on delivering a motorcycle with a customized appearance typically found only on expensive two-wheel offerings. A massive rear tire, light-looking front end accentuated by a thin 21-inch cast wheel, and sculpted bodywork top the stand-out features of the Vulcan 900 Custom.

Bridging the visual contrast between the front and rear wheels is a sleek and subtle fuel tank. Its flowing lines easily lead the eye along the careful and delicate curves that blend together the highly customized form of this gem of mid-sized cruisers. A matte black frame provides an understated framework for the Kawasaki artistry that is the appealing and gutsy, fuel-injected V-Twin Vulcan 900 Custom. Its stylish aesthetics grace a platform that’s perfect for customization with Kawasaki accessories.

Big-Bike Appeal
The Vulcan 900 Custom is a factory built custom bike that really stands out from the crowd. It’s the result of Kawasaki's pursuit of the essence of a true custom motorcycle. A study in contrasts, its low set rear, massive rear tyre and solid disc wheel are juxtaposed against a clean and lightweight front end.

With the flick of a switch, the fuel injected V-Twin Vulcan 900 Custom comes to life, its satisfying pulse urging the rider to hit the open road. The feel good acceleration and light, sporty handling characteristics offer a stress free riding sensation that will have riders reluctant to dismount, except perhaps to admire their ride.

Designed to look good from all angles, the carefully crafted Vulcan 900 Custom’s bodywork creates delicate patterns of light and shadow, enhancing the Custom’s striking appearance.

Whether booming down the highway or cruising slowly through city streets, the Vulcan 900 Custom’s light sporty handling makes it one easy to ride cruiser.

Sculpted Bodywork

• • Fuel tank features a twin valley design, with a dynamic tension and presence all its own
• • Designed to be pleasing to both the eye and to the touch, the tank is composed exclusively of curves with constantly varying radii; the twin valley design theme continues to the rear fender and its hand-sculpted contours
• • Bottom of the rear fender features a relatively straight cut, to balance the lines of the motorcycle

Custom Features

• • Chromed headlamp, headlamp mount, lower triple clamp and turn signals as well as footpegs, shift lever and rear brake lever
• • Clean headlight design is compact and isolated without a central fork cover or headlamp bar
• • Small, minimalist fender and lack of front fork covers also contribute to the slender appearance of the front end
