 The '''[[Kawasaki]] Vulcan 750''' was a v2, [[four-stroke]] Cruiser [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Kawasaki]] between 1984 and 2006. It could reach a top speed of 125 mph (201 km/h). Max [[torque]] was 47.21 ft/lbs (64.0 Nm) @ 6000 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 65.98 HP (49.2 KW) @ 7500 RPM.
+The VN750, also known as the Vulcan 750, is a 750 cc class cruiser-style
+motorcycle build from 1985 to 2006. The Vulcan 750 was Kawasaki's first cruiser
+and first V-twin engine introduced in late 1984 as the 1985 model
+Kawasaki introduced the 750 cc class Vulcan worldwide in 1985. Due to tariff
+restrictions in the United States on bikes over 700 cc imported from Japan, the
+initial US spec model was limited to 699 cc and called the Kawasaki Vulcan 700.
+The tariff was lifted in 1986, and all bikes from then until the production run
+ended in 2006 were 749 cc. The US name was changed to Vulcan 750 to reflect this
+The VN750 remained largely unchanged throughout its 22-year production run
+with only minor adjustments to the components and varying paint schemes. The
+VN750 was unique in its class by featuring a more reliable
+usually found on larger cruisers.
+The bike also featured a liquid cooled
+V-twin engine producing 66 horsepower and a flat 47 ft-lbs of torque
+throughout most of the rpm range, although the engine was underrated and
+commonly produced 8-10% more than the advertised power in dynomometer testing.
+The bike was configured to support an upright riding position with a king/queen
+seat and a factory installed
+.
+The VN750 also featured adjustable air shocks front and rear, with Showa 4-way
+valving on the rear.
