VN1700 Classic ABS

  • Effektfuld motor

    Long-stroke, liquid cooled, SOHC, 8-valve 1,700 cm3 V-Twin engine was designed to deliver high levels of torque.
    Valve system is based on that of the VN2000, but uses a SOHC arrangement instead of OHV for more direct engine feel and easier merging onto freeways.

  • Aktive K-Act ABS bremser

    K-ACT (Kawasaki Advanced Coactive-braking Technology) ABS enables riders to execute controlled, balanced braking. Designed to complement riders’ applied brake force, K-ACT ABS ensures ideal brake force distribution to maximise braking efficiency.

  • Affjedring bag

    Dual adjustable rear air-shocks ensure a comfortable ride feel. Settings are different between the VN1700C and VN1700E/G. VN1700E/G also feature chromed shock covers, contributing the luxurious finish of the rear of the bike.

  • LED baglygte

    The VN1700 is the first Kawasaki Cruiser to feature an elegant LED taillight.

  • Benzintank

    The elegantly shaped fuel tank tapers at the rear, contributing to the VN1700’s curvaceous figure, its lines flowing through the rest of the bike. The fuel tank’s curves have constantly varying radii, giving the bike a dynamism that is both powerful and sexy. Its hand-sculpted contours are pleasing both to the eye and to the touch.

  • Instrumenter

    Ignition switch allows on-position key removal, preventing key bunches from damaging the instrument cluster or tank while the bike is in operation. Turning the ignition switch collar to the “OFF” position turns the engine off and necessitates re-insertion of the key to restart.
    Multi-function LCD displays on the tank-mounted instrument cluster are controlled by switches on the right handle. Features include a gear position indicator (new for Kawasaki cruisers), fuel gauge, clock, odometer, dual trip meters, remaining range and average fuel consumption.

  • Rem træk

    Belt final drive is quiet and efficient and helps reduce maintenance chores. Using carbon fibre instead of Kevlar as a tensile material, the belt offers high strength (tensile strength is increased by 40%) with a slim size and light weight. Belt width (28 mm) is more comparable to that of the VN900 models (26 mm) than that of the VN2000 (40 mm).

  • 6-trins gearkasse med overdrive

    6th gear is an overdrive gear, contributing to stress-free riding and better fuel economy when cruising at highway speeds.

  • Elektronisk gasspjældssystem

    Kawasaki’s first fully electronic throttle actuation system enables the ECU to control the volume of both the fuel (via fuel injectors) and the air (via throttle valves) delivered to the engine. Ideal fuel injection and throttle valve position results in smooth, natural engine response.
    Control of both fuel injection and airflow enables precise cold-engine idling speed control.
