This model is fuel injected by 2 34mm throttle bodies that deliver the copious amounts of torque and power very precisely indeed. The smooth ride is enhanced by the quiete final belt drive that the Kawasaki VN900 Classic utilises.

Available in Dark Blue or Black for 2008 and Deep Red or Black for 2009 highlighted with long low highly polished slash cut exhausts gives the Kawasaki VN900 a "wild" look. Unlike the 800 version, the rear anchor is now a more efficient disc brake and overall looks more finished with its sleek and very curvy rear end.

Powered by a liquid-cooled, 903 cm3 V-Twin engine, the VN900 puts out just the right amount of rider-friendly power. Modern technology like fuel injection, 4-valve heads and digital electronic ignition delivers plenty of the gutsy torque that makes riding a cruiser so much fun.

The VN900 looks as good as it goes, thanks to a VN2000-derived styling package. The bike’s long-and-low design is complemented by seductively shaped bodywork, a low seat and a super-fat rear tyre, just like the big cruisers. And with its stable handling qualities and rider-friendly ergonomics, this is one middleweight cruiser that looks and feels like a larger machine. Everything about the VN900 is evocative of the high build quality and craftsmanship for which Kawasaki cruisers are famous.

Combining the look, feel and features of a big-bore cruiser with the rider-friendly features of a middleweight, the new VN900 is the perfect entry vehicle into the world of big-bore cruising.

Is it because their firing order mimics the beat of the human heart that V-Twins have such timeless appeal? Is it the gutsy low-rpm torque that gets you moving with minimal fuss? Is it the effortless mid-range acceleration that makes passing other vehicles so easy? Or, do riders love their V-Twins simply because the exhaust note and power characteristics are so intoxicating? Whatever qualities you love about V-Twin engines, you’ll find them all in the VN900.

When riders first see the VN900 Classic they’ll be surprised to hear that it is “only” a 900. That's because this bike has the size and styling rivalling that of the big-bore cruisers.
