 Kawasaki
VN 2000
The Kawasaki VN2000 motorcycle represents a major breakthrough
for the cruiser world, because this big Kawasaki literally redefines
the cruiser genre. And not just because it's powered by the biggest
OEM V-twin engine on the market. In every detail, the VN2000 exudes
the highest quality of craftsmanship and design, offering technology
and style that is unmatched by the competition.
Displacing a massive 2,053 cubic centimeters, the VN2000 V-twin
engine is the first in a production motorcycle to feature a 103mm
bore. "It will accelerate harder in any one of its five gears
than any existing V-twin cruiser on the market."
Styling cues that put the VN 2000 at the forefront of cruiser design
include a powerful four-bulb, projector-type headlight encased in
a signature chrome Nacelle headlight – the first for a production
cruiser. Adding to its high-end status is the chrome instrument
panel with its large-face speedometer; mounted on a stretched, 5.5-gallon
fuel tank, the V-shaped panel keeps the rider informed with an LCD
display and warning lamps. The bucket-type saddle with locking passenger
seat complements the VN 2000's long, curving silhouette while providing
all-day riding comfort.
Power for this stylish cruiser comes from a massive V-twin engine
featuring a bore and stroke of 103 x 123.2mm, forged pistons, alloy-steel
connecting rods, huge 220mm flywheels, dual cams located within
the one-piece crankcase and right-side pushrods actuating four valves
per cylinder. Notably, Kawasaki engineers chose to utilize a push
rod design in order to reduce engine height, which directly contributes
to the VN 2000's low center of gravity and relatively low seat height.
Plus, hydraulic valve lash adjusters automatically maintain zero
valve clearance for smoother, quieter operation.
Cruiser aficionados will appreciate the VN 2000's classic V-twin
sound thanks, in part, to the single-pin crankshaft, while dual
counterbalancers and rubber engine mounts keep it running smoothly.
