Kawasaki VN800 information
The impressive liquid-cooled 805cc engine delivers the proven performance and reliability for which Kawasaki V-Twins are famous. The eight-valve, single overhead-cam power-plant pumps out plenty of low-down torque for city cruising or long distance touring, both tasks easily carried out by this stylish ‘Classic’ cruiser.
Thanks to the over-square 88.0 x 66.2mm bore and stroke there is a punchy response and plenty of high-rpm power when needed. The Keihin pumper carburettor ensures sharp throttle response across the rev range. Power output is a respectable 55bhp at 7000rpm.
Low-maintenance features like automatic cam chain tensioners and electronic ignition keep maintenance tasks to a minimum.
The excellent handling qualities derived from its hidden, bottom-link Uni-Trak rear suspension and sturdy 41mm front forks makes the Classic an extremely stable motorcycle for cruising and touring.
The ‘Drifter’ model looks wonderful with it’s Indian influenced styling, that also gives great weather protection and an easy clean motorcycle with more paint and less chrome!
