Kawasaki Heavy Industries is one of the largest corporations in Japan, producing a wide range of products from rolling stock to ships. After taking over the ailing Meguro Motorcycle Co, they began manufacturing motorcycles under the Kawasaki name in the early ’60s, first continuing development of the K1—a near-copy of the BSA A10—but soon moving on to build a reputation for high performance two-stroke twins and triples. In the early '70s, the four-stroke four-cylinder Z1 began development as a 750 to compete with the new Honda SOHC 750, but Kawasaki held the bike back until it could be increased in capacity to set a new benchmark for superbike performance. The Kawasaki cruiser range, initially with customised versions of the sports bikes, took a step further with the introduction of the VN Vulcan V-twin models taking the fight directly to Harley-Davidson, blending classic HD lines with Japanese build quality and reliability.
A stunning looking bike in Metallic Blue with plenty of chrome, this V-twin cruiser is presented in excellent condition, showing just a credible 12, 632 miles on its speedo. A nice original bike with just the addition of a chrome rear carrier/ backrest, it will be MOT'd before the auction and comes supplied with a current V5C.
