Kawasaki Vn900 Vulcan Classic
The Kawasaki Vn900 Vulcan Classic has a top speed of 175 km/h, produces 50 hp and weighs 272 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
カワサキバルカン900クラシック（VN900B）は、ハーレーダビッドソンが独占する成長を続けるエントリーレベルからミッドレベルのVツインクルーザーセグメントで競争するために設計された中型クルーザーとして2006年に発売されました。バルカン 800 クラシックに取って代わり、燃料噴射機能を備えた新しい 903 cc V ツインエンジンを搭載し、より洗練された、身近なクルーザー体験を実現しました。このモデルは、そのクラシックなスタイリング、快適なエルゴノミクス、信頼性の高いパフォーマンスにより高い人気を博し、2020 年代に入ってもほとんど変更を加えずに生産され続けました。

購入者が知っておくべきこと
Strong Long-Term Reliability
The VN900's fuel-injected 903cc V-twin engine is widely regarded as bulletproof with proper maintenance, commonly running well past 50,000 miles. It's one of the most trouble-free mid-size cruisers in its class.
Watch for Stator Issues
A known weak point on earlier models (2006–2009) is stator failure, which can cause charging problems and leave you stranded. Always verify the charging system is healthy before buying a used example.
Excellent Resale Value
The VN900 Classic holds its value unusually well for a mid-size cruiser due to high demand and a loyal following. Low-mileage examples in good condition rarely depreciate significantly, making it a smart used buy.
年別の世代と仕様
903cc Vツイン、燃料噴射規格、クラシックなクルーザースタイルを導入。発売以来、世代間の大幅な再設計は行われていない。
"静かにすべてを正しく行う、正直で手間のかからない巡洋艦。"
2009年のVN900クラシックで18,000km近く走ったけど、そのことが私を立ち往生させたことは一度もなかった。それは大きな意味がある。903ccのVツインは約2,000rpmからスムーズに引っ張り、76 Nmのトルクのピークは十分に早く到来するので、ギアボックスを絶えず探し回る必要なく、街で本当に便利だと感じることができます。速くないし、そのふりをしているわけでもなく、時速110～120kmのハイウェイクルーズはリラックスしていますが、130を超えるペグの間をモーターがブーンという音を立て始める前にスロットルヘッドルームがほとんど残っていません。低めのシートと扱いやすい重量は、初心者のライダーにとっては自信につながりますが、駐車場で坂道にぶつかると、279kgという数字がすぐに感じられます。

中古購入者レビュー
"Honest, dependable cruiser that rewards sensible buyers who inspect carefully."
$3,500-$6,500 usedThe VN900 Classic is one of those bikes that punches well above its price point in the used market. Kawasaki got the proportions right — it looks like a genuine big-inch cruiser but actually makes sense for riders who aren't ready to wrestle a 700-pound boat around parking lots. The 903cc V-twin pulls cleanly from low revs, the belt drive is virtually maintenance-free, and build quality has been consistently solid across the production run. These things genuinely last. That said, go in with eyes open. Check the carb on pre-2010 models — they gum up if the bike's been sitting, and a proper clean runs $150-200 at most shops. Also inspect the front fork seals and look for oil weeping around the head gaskets. Neither is catastrophic, but both are common enough to negotiate on price. Highway comfort is adequate rather than exceptional — the seat turns punishing past 90 minutes without an aftermarket pad.
