Kawasaki has just released the details on a motorcycle big enough to stagger imagination. Meet the Vulcan 2000. The 2000 is not an allusion to the turn of the century, but the gargantuan 2,053 CC four-valve pushrod V-twin engine that will power a cruiser larger than most islands. And get this, each piston is more than 10 cm in diameter! Stretching across a yawning wheelbase are stylish, macho lines that look good and Kawasaki promises will be just as satisfying to swing a leg over. While the exact dimensions and power output is still to be announced, Kawasaki promises that the largest production V-twin in the world will move on significantly. Among the highlights of the motorcycle are the nacelled headlamps, which include three projector lamps and a conventional bulb, all of which are on when the rider switches to high-beam. Obviously, those of us not riding a Vulcan 2000 should keep our sunglasses handy even after dusk. The gorgeous slash-cut pipes promise plenty of audible warning that a gigantic Kawasaki is headed your way.
