CLASSIC LINES FOR KAWASAKI’S FLAGSHIP CRUISER

With the 2008MY VN2000 Classic, Kawasaki’s flagship cruiser receives a makeover that takes its best features and recasts them in a timeless, classic style.

Producing massive amounts of power and torque, the VN2000 Classic is not only the world’s largest displacement production V-Twin – huge gracefully tapered cylinders attractively accentuated by long pushrod tubes and curvaceously shaped engine covers mean its power plant is still one of the best-looking V-Twin engines in the industry. And emissions are even cleaner thanks to updates that enable the VN2000 Classic to meet strict Euro-III regulations.

The “stretched” low-and-long chassis is just as impressive. From the sculpted contours of the tank and fenders to the deeply chromed details, every element expresses the high quality, superb comfort and feeling of trustworthiness customers expect from a flagship machine. A classic-style headlamp enhances the timeless lines of the bike while simultaneously conveying an image distinct from the nacelle-adorned VN2000.

Other differences from the VN2000 include:

Buckhorn-style handlebar bend for increased rider comfort.

Thicker, reshaped passenger seat for enhanced pillion comfort.

Etched insignia on right-side airbox cover.

Distinctive new speedometer face.

Ignition key located on top of the fuel tank.
