2012 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Vaquero Review

Fresh, low, long, very elegant - all these adjectives fit the Vulcan 1700 Vaquero ® ™ plus another - both functional. This bagger, introduced last year in the Vulcan line of cruisers, and new evidence that the practice can coexist on the same bike. His style is aggressive and muscular Vaquero any pilot stand out from the crowd. And with a powerful engine of 1700 cc, electronic cruise control and audio system complete, the cowboy has to be on the road.

Black habit of the details are the first clue that the mission of the Cowboy, and not much to see. It all starts with the candy paint beautiful blue plasma in the short tank fairing, sculpted and curvy body that looks like it could be a mile deep. The special edition should be a little more with candy lime green painted ebony and marble painting custom graphics. Luxurious chrome (guards, engine, exhaust, mirrors, etc.) offer a good counterpoint to the glossy paint, but perhaps the multi-texture black with engine and chassis treatment emphasizes that the best Cowboy radical aesthetic . The engine, air cleaner cover, tires, fork and tank cover all get treatment failure, which gives the bike a truly custom look that is beautiful and menacing at the same time. It is certainly not a bike that is easily forgotten.

Under all that the body, beautiful paint and chrome motorcycle is a beautifully designed, combining the character of power, handling, durability and confidence inspired by a massive functional package. It all starts with the Cowboy 1700 cc liquid cooled V-twin, that the powers of the four models Vulcan 1700 - Voyager ®, Classic, Nomad ™ and Vaquero. A proven design, the V 52 degrees has the latest technology in engine seems a return to the past, a time when the V-twin engine was the power of having your bike. The design features include an overhead cam, high compression and long-stroke dimensions of design that results in the kind of low blow and effortless mid-range that is so desirable and useful in a big-inch cruiser.

Vaquero system works with a butterfly advanced electronic fuel injection to optimize engine response without compromising its distinctive V-twin throb. The system uses a throttle position sensor (APS) and a throttle position sensor (TPS), which allows data to the ECU, which adjusts the throttle plates to the flow of intake air tailored accordingly . The system provides a feeling of natural gas, because the APS is activated by a throttle body pulley connected by cables to the throttle. Besides the obvious benefits such as FI improved fuel economy and automatic adjustment for changes in altitude, the system also allows easy control of the hands-off warm-up and rest. Vaquero is also equipped with a water-cooled generator, which produces a staggering 46.8 amps of electrical power - enough to power a variety of electronic accessories to enhance motorcycle travel.

The result of all this is a massive amount of useable torque spread over a wide rpm scandalously. With 108 lb-ft of torque, with a simple twist of the arm that extends Vaquero throttle acceleration to cross the road or riding fast, and the wave smooth low rpm grunt is always ready when you please, when you come to Boppin 'on the boulevard, check the scene and Chillin'.

Apropos Just Cruisin 'long, the Vaquero offers true touring-bike comfort in terms of its system of electronic speed regulator, conveniently controlled from the right handlebar and usable at any speed between 30 and 85 km / h on the one of the last four reports. The system can be disconnected cruising in one of the following: Press the brake lever, clutch lever, rear brake pedal, or manually rotating the accelerator after the "closed" position.

Acumen shines through additional rounds six-speed gearbox with overdrive fifth engine and 6 speed, which contributes to a relaxed ride and excellent fuel economy at highway speeds. Power is routed to the rear wheels via a carbon-reinforced drive belt close with a tensile strength 40 percent higher than current Kevlar belts. And chopped, custom look fairing? Although less than a traditional windshield or full fairing, it still cuts a hole in the opposite direction sized atmosphere, giving the rider a cocoon useful even seem to enjoy the ride.

Closed half-loading hard bags set the Vaquero addition to his brothers Volcano 1700. They are well built and spacious, and the style of the wheel stresses the long, low look. He won the seat provides a comfortable perch pilot, but the minimalist passenger pad stands wildly shaped rear fender that integrates a stylish tail light and flasher assemblies.

Hull are in possession of all the equipment is both one of the backbone, two rack unit designed for thin and light as possible, a short distance from the ground and the optimal treatment. Bolted to the steering head is a mammoth mount 45 mm fork offers 5.5 inches of wheel travel and get to the bottom meet. Rear suspension consists of double air damping and spring preload adjustable rebound damping through the action of the steel arm muscle. Nine-spoke alloy wheels in flat black to keep the fat, 130/90 front and 170/70 radial tires offer handling characteristics, excellent grip and durability. The braking system consists of two discs from 300mm to a twin-piston front and 300 mm rear disc brake caliper piston for two.

And 'all this really is a top-of-the-line Bagger that includes the perfect combination of features: It has a wide range of operating conditions, the town cruisin' running along the open road. It 'was a very advanced technology. And it is the knee shakingly beautiful bike, which has put the chicken is a neck and hands every time you open the garage door to look.
