Built for Comfortable Touring

The Vulcan Nomad was designed to make every mile enjoyable. Its plush touring saddle, wide rider and passenger floorboards, relaxed riding position, pullback handlebars, and factory hard saddlebags make it an ideal motorcycle for weekend escapes or cross-country adventures.

Whether you're cruising scenic back roads at 55 mph or comfortably running interstate speeds all day, this Nomad delivers a smooth, relaxed ride that's hard to match. Add the installed Kawasaki highway pegs and you'll quickly understand why riders describe these bikes as "a recliner on two wheels."

Powerful Yet Refined

Power comes from Kawasaki's massive fuel-injected liquid-cooled 1,552cc V-twin, producing effortless torque with smooth, dependable performance. The shaft-drive final drive eliminates the constant maintenance associated with chain-driven motorcycles, making ownership simple and worry-free.

• Electronic fuel injection

• Liquid cooling

• Massive 43mm front forks

• Dual Tokico twin-piston front disc brakes

• Large aluminum front wheel

• Deeply valanced front and rear fenders

Cosmetic Condition

This is an exceptionally clean, original motorcycle that has clearly been cared for throughout its life.

The fuel tank is beautiful with no visible dents. The paint retains a stunning black and silver two-tone finish, while the chrome, engine cases, exhaust system, wheels, and trim all present extremely well.

There are only two minor cosmetic imperfections:

• A small beauty mark on one saddlebag

• A tiny beauty mark on the opposite saddlebag

Both are minor and consistent with careful use on a touring motorcycle equipped with large hard bags.

Overall, this Vulcan presents in outstanding showroom-quality condition.
