A really nice example of the VN900 Classic and a proper old-school cruiser with plenty of road presence.

Powered by Kawasaki’s 903cc fuel-injected V-twin engine, the VN900 has loads of low-down torque and a really relaxed power delivery. It’s belt driven too, so it’s smooth, quiet and requires very little maintenance compared with a chain-driven bike.

The Classic gets the low-slung cruiser styling with a wide tank, deep front and rear mudguards, spoked wheels, plenty of chrome and a big comfortable seat. Despite being a decent-sized bike, the low seat height and predictable handling make them surprisingly easy to ride at slower speeds.

It’s a really comfortable bike for longer journeys, with a relaxed riding position and plenty of room, while still being manageable enough for shorter rides and everyday use.

These VN900s have a great reputation for reliability and are a brilliant alternative to spending considerably more money on an equivalent American cruiser.

A good, honest example that presents really well for a 2013 bike and still looks the part over a decade later.
