2007 KAWASAKI VULCAN 1600 NOMAD
BEAUTIFUL METALLIC TITANIUM & EBONY BLACK 95 CUBIC INCH V-TWIN READY TO RIDE CROSS COUNTRY
FUEL INJECTED – SHAFT DRIVE – NEW METZELER TIRES
Feast your eyes on this beautiful 2007 Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 Nomad! This is one of Kawasaki's finest full-size touring cruisers, combining massive V-twin torque, legendary Japanese engineering, exceptional two-up comfort, and timeless American cruiser styling. With only 22,000 miles, a fresh comprehensive service, new Metzeler rear tire, new Metzeler front tire, and gorgeous factory metallic paint, this Nomad is an outstanding motorcycle at a fraction of the cost of a comparable new touring cruiser!
The Vulcan 1600 Nomad was engineered to compete with the best heavyweight touring motorcycles on the market, delivering exceptional highway comfort, impressive power, and long-term dependability. Unlike many traditional V-twin cruisers, this Kawasaki incorporates modern technology that makes ownership and maintenance incredibly convenient.
Fuel injection, liquid cooling, hydraulic valve lash adjusters, and shaft drive mean no carburetors to synchronize, no routine valve adjustments, and no drive chain to maintain!
This is the kind of motorcycle you can comfortably ride across the country, two-up, with luggage, and enjoy every mile of the journey.
MASSIVE 1,552CC FUEL-INJECTED V-TWIN – LEGENDARY KAWASAKI ENGINEERING!
At the heart of this magnificent cruiser is Kawasaki's massive 1,552cc (approximately 95 cubic inch) liquid-cooled V-twin engine, featuring enormous pistons, electronic fuel injection, and mountains of low-end torque.
The engine delivers the effortless acceleration and relaxed highway cruising that heavyweight V-twin enthusiasts love. With torque output approaching 90 ft-lbs, there's plenty of power for two-up riding, passing, climbing hills, or cruising at interstate speeds.
The five-speed transmission shifts smoothly, and the shaft final drive provides smooth, dependable power delivery without the regular maintenance associated with chain-driven motorcycles.

STUNNING METALLIC TITANIUM & EBONY BLACK FACTORY PAINT!
One of the most attractive features of this particular Nomad is its gorgeous two-tone Metallic Titanium and Ebony Black paint scheme, accented by beautiful orange and burgundy pinstriping.
The metallic finish really comes alive in the sunlight. The saddlebags feature a deep, rich metallic appearance, with beautiful flake that sparkles when the light hits it. The contrasting Ebony Black provides a stunning backdrop for the extensive factory chrome.
The paint presents beautifully, particularly considering this motorcycle is approaching 20 years old.
Kawasaki certainly didn't cut corners on the chrome appointments!
From the massive headlight nacelle and wide handlebars to the fork covers, engine covers, mirrors, crash bars, and exhaust system, this motorcycle has an abundance of gleaming chrome.
The overall presentation is classic heavyweight touring cruiser, with the proportions and road presence of a much more expensive motorcycle.
EXCEPTIONAL TWO-UP TOURING COMFORT!
The Vulcan Nomad was designed from the beginning as a premium long-distance touring cruiser, and Kawasaki paid particular attention to rider and passenger comfort.
The rider enjoys a wide, deeply cushioned saddle featuring a supportive raised rear section that provides excellent lower-back support. Combined with the wide beach-style handlebars, generous floorboards, and relaxed riding position, the Nomad is built for spending long days in the saddle.
We've also equipped this motorcycle with highway pegs, allowing the rider to stretch out and change leg positions on extended highway journeys.
Passenger accommodations are equally impressive!
The passenger seat is exceptionally wide and generously padded, complemented by large passenger floorboards and a stable, comfortable seating position.
The rear suspension is air-adjustable, allowing the rider to accommodate additional passenger and luggage weight for improved comfort and handling.
TOURING COMFORT FEATURES:
-
Large, comfortable rider saddle with excellent lumbar support
-
Oversized passenger saddle
-
Rider floorboards
-
Large passenger floorboards
-
Additional highway pegs
-
Convenient heel-toe shifter
-
Wide beach-style chrome handlebars
-
Air-adjustable rear suspension
-

-

-

-
Relaxed, comfortable highway cruising characteristics
Whether you're riding solo through the countryside or taking your significant other on a weekend getaway, this machine is engineered to make the journey just as enjoyable as the destination.
PREMIUM FACTORY TOURING EQUIPMENT!
The Nomad is much more than a standard Vulcan cruiser with saddlebags added.
It was designed as a dedicated touring motorcycle, incorporating a complete package of integrated accessories and heavy-duty components.
The beautiful factory hard saddlebags provide practical storage space while maintaining the motorcycle's sleek, classic appearance.
The substantial chrome front and rear protection bars contribute to the bike's distinctive touring appearance, and the large chrome headlight nacelle gives it unmistakable road presence.
That headlight is enormous! The chrome housing reflects the surrounding scenery as you cruise down the road, and it's one of the classic styling details that makes the Nomad so distinctive.
This example also retains the factory windshield mounting provisions, allowing a compatible windshield to be installed if desired.
The motorcycle currently has a clean, open cruiser appearance without a windshield.
HEAVY-DUTY CHASSIS, SUSPENSION & BRAKING!
Kawasaki engineered the Nomad to deliver secure, stable handling even with a passenger and fully loaded saddlebags.
The motorcycle features substantial 43mm front forks, providing confident steering and excellent front-end stability.
The triple-disc braking system incorporates dual front disc brakes and a rear disc, offering reassuring stopping power for a heavyweight touring machine.
Additional chassis highlights include:
-
Heavy-duty 43mm telescopic front forks
-
Dual front disc brakes
-
Rear disc brake
-
Triple-disc braking system
-
Air-adjustable rear suspension
-
Attractive cast alloy wheels
-
Premium Metzeler tires
-
Low-maintenance shaft final drive
-
Substantial touring chassis
-
Extensive chrome trim and fork covers
The combination of a long wheelbase, substantial chassis, and torquey V-twin engine makes this bike especially well suited for relaxed, long-distance highway riding.
CLASSIC V-TWIN SOUND – QUIET & REFINED OR CUSTOMIZE TO YOUR TASTE!
This motorcycle currently retains its quiet, comfortable touring character, making it ideal for long-distance cruising without excessive exhaust noise.
However, if you prefer a more aggressive V-twin sound, aftermarket exhaust options have been offered for the Vulcan 1600 platform.
A compatible exhaust upgrade can give this massive V-twin a deeper, more pronounced rumble.
The beauty of this motorcycle is that you can enjoy it exactly as it sits or personalize it to your own taste.
AN INCREDIBLE VALUE IN A FULL-SIZE TOURING MOTORCYCLE!
Comparable new heavyweight touring cruisers can cost many thousands of dollars more, yet this Kawasaki offers an enormous amount of motorcycle for the money.
Offered for under $4,000, this beautiful Nomad represents exceptional value.
Consider everything you're getting:
A massive fuel-injected V-twin, low-maintenance shaft drive, hydraulic valve adjustment, liquid cooling, premium factory touring equipment, locking saddlebags, comfortable two-up seating, chrome accessories, Metzeler tires, and a freshly serviced motorcycle with only 22,000 miles!
The major depreciation has already occurred, allowing the next owner to enjoy the comfort, performance, and utility of a premium touring cruiser without the substantial expense of purchasing a brand-new motorcycle.
These Kawasaki Vulcans have earned an excellent reputation among touring enthusiasts for durability, practicality, and long-term ownership satisfaction.
WHY BUY THIS 2007 KAWASAKI VULCAN 1600 NOMAD?
This is an exceptionally appealing motorcycle for anyone seeking a dependable, comfortable, powerful heavyweight cruiser without spending a fortune.
It offers the timeless styling of a traditional V-twin touring machine, combined with the engineering refinement and dependability that have made Kawasaki famous.
The striking Metallic Titanium and Ebony Black paint, abundant chrome, comfortable seating, factory hard saddlebags, highway pegs, and low mileage make this an especially attractive example.
Most importantly, it's already been serviced and prepared for the road.
Ride it around town, take your passenger out for dinner, head into the mountains for a weekend, or load up the saddlebags and embark on the cross-country motorcycle adventure you've always dreamed about.
This Nomad is ready for its next chapter!
