Affordable, stylish, easy handling and incredibly thrifty on gas – that’s the undeniable appeal of

cruisers. Perfect for honing your riding skills, since they’re as smart as they are fun.
Available Color: VULCAN 500 LTD : Metallic Imperial Red |VULCAN ELIMINATOR 125 : Metallic Phantom Silver
Young and
rebellious with
an attitude to
match—that’s
the Vulcan
900 Custom.
It boasts the most
radical styling in the
Vulcan lineup with a
kicked-out fork and
21-inch front wheel,
dramatic custom-
look paint, bright
slash-cut mufflers,
and belt driven to
push more power
to the fat 15-inch
rear wheel. And
what power – as our
mid-size flagship
cruiser, the Vulcan
900 Custom’s 903cc
liquid-cooled SOHC
V-Twin engine is a
black-and-chrome
treasure of low-down
torque and midrange
response, with a
counter-balancer
and rubber mounts
for smoothness.
