The Vulcan 750 in its late run, still an affordable mid-size cruiser with chrome styling and a low riding position. Its liquid-cooled, double-overhead-cam V-twin uses hydraulic valve adjusters, which cut routine maintenance. Kawasaki kept the shaft drive, air-adjustable rear shocks and dual front discs, and the bike could be fitted with touring accessories.
