Kawasaki emphasized the mega Vulcan is not an attempt to lure any customers away from The Motor Company. Instead the Vulcan 2000 is an opportunity for people to experience a combination of power and grace in a package that lists for $14,499, a whole lotta bike per dollar.

For those who ride for brotherhood and companionship, the Vulcan 2000 isn’t a good choice it’s much too fast and fun to involve other riders with regularity. Triumph’s massive new 2.3-liter Rocket lll can compete in terms of displacement, but its base price is $1500 higher.

The power cruiser market, once non-existent, has quickly become saturated with offerings from many of the world’s most recognizable manufacturers. However, when the trends and fads die down, there will likely be only a few bikes with true staying power. Something tells me that Kawasaki’s Vulcan 2000 is a machine that wil keep people talking for years to come.
