kawasaki Vulcan 900 custom
In a fast sweeping left-right series of curves up a hill in the middle of Texas, a smile of satisfaction starts to creep up at the corners of my mouth as I finally understand what this bike is about. I’m really enjoying the roll-on torque coming from kawasaki’s new Vulcan 900 Custom. But more than that—I’m smiling because I get it.
A month ago, though, when I first got the invite, I didn’t really.
It seems, of late, whenever manufacturers want to show off their big cruisers, they go to Texas—the land where everything is claimed to be bigger. So when kawasaki announced the 900 Custom’s launch in Austin, my head tilted much like my dog's does when he hears something out of the ordinary.
