Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 Mean Streak: Extra torque, acceleration and custom look

The mean streets demand a motorcycle with enough attitude to stand-out from the crowd. Kawasaki kept this in mind when designing the Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 Mean Streak.  Take a closer look, and it will quickly becomes obvious that swinging a leg over this cruiser will open a new world of torque, acceleration, and earn the admiring looks of other riders.

Unlike most cruisers, the Mean Streak enjoys nimble handling with excellent high-speed stability. Sportbike-style 43mm inverted forks and a reinforced swingarm with dual air-assisted hydraulic shocks aid handling, while still offering enough compliance to offer the smooth journey demanded by cruiser riders. Dual radial-mount front disc brakes and four-piston calipers lend additional street credibility and excellent stopping power to the Mean Streak’s bag of tricks.  

The Vulcan 1600 Mean Streak’s 1,552cc V-twin engine offers a smooth wave of torque to make your ride more entertaining, thanks to high-tech features like liquid cooling, electronic fuel injection, dual spark plug digital ignition and four valves per cylinder.  

In the cruiser world, appearances and rider comfort are every bit as important as massive power, so Kawasaki polished the valve covers and cooling fins for a bright, high-performance image. The 1600 Mean Streak’s bright 17-inch aluminum wheels enhance the bike’s high-performance image, while radial tires provide exceptional grip and stability.
