Kawasaki Vulcan description
The Kawasaki Mean Streak is a performance touring bike that has many great features. Although it is a cruiser designed for comfortable performance, it is also an extremely agile and good handling bike for a big touring machine. Excellent handling and huge amounts of torque on tap in any gear make the Mean Streak a hoot to drive safely and with fun on back country roads, canyon sweepers, and switchbacks! Feedback is smooth and responsive, and the suspension and tires allow even novice riders to handle tight turns with ease. The Avon Ultra Storm II radial tires really grip the road, and feature dual compound tread for extremely long wear. It has power and comfort for long trips as well.
The huge Tokico dual-rotor disc brakes up front, operated by a hydraulic lever just like the expensive bikes, as well as the massive Tokico disc brake on the rear quickly scrub off speed as needed. The upgraded EBC brake pads seem to never fade, even during aggressive braking. The Mean Streak also has a smooth hydraulic-operated clutch just like the expensive bikes, You will not find balky cable-operated controls on the Mean Streak!
Out of the factory box, the Mean Streak is quite a performance bike. Kawasaki worked hard to improve the reliable engine from the 1600 Vulcan classic by reworking many features of the Mean Streak's engine for additional power, but still retaining the legendary Kawasaki bullet-proof reliability with minimal maintenance requirements. Larger valves (with hydraulic self-adjusters), better flowing intake, larger fuel injectors, and improved 3-dimensional ignition timing all controlled by a computer processor give this bike some real get up and go! Performance has further been enhanced by adding the following "Big Three" improvements: Cobra high-performance exhaust system delivers additional horsepower and low-end torque with Cobra's patented hidden "cross-over"" tube; The Kuryakyn Pro HyperCharger with K&N rewashable filter; and a Cobra Fi2000R fuel processor add plenty of power over stock, but yet retain everyday drivability and bullet-proof reliability. The satisfying growl from the pipes and the intake really sound great, but this bike can also be quiet through residential areas if you can stay out of the throttle.
This Mean Streak has also been upgraded with several touring accessories to add comfort and convenience. The huge saddlebags swallow about anything you would want to take with you. The Mustang seats add a huge comfort improvement over the original Kawasaki seat. The windshield and lowers eliminate buffeting and wind for long trips or warmer riding in cooler weather.
The tasteful modifications in Chrome and black leather really set off the beautiful Candy Lime Green color. This bike gets lots of looks and questions where ever it goes! Even Harley Davidson riders are impressed and frequently ask questions about the Mean Streak! Parked with the other bikes, this one stands out from the pack, and in a good way!
Adult-owned and driven. Low mileage. Garage kept. Fully tuned and serviced. Ready to go! You will not find a better equipped and nicer Mean Streak than this one!
Please ask any questions you may have. I will attempt to answer them promptly and accurately.
