Ninja 650R
Vulcan 900 Custom
 
Description
It's an exciting middleweight sport bike.  A highly practical commuter.  And a horizon-expanding sport-tourer.  The Ninja 650R is an all-purpose motorcycle that can do whatever you want on the street.  We designed it from the ground up to please a wide array of riders with its light weight, slender dimensions, potent engine and responsive handling.  The engine is a smooth running 649cc Parallel Twin with advanced features like digital fuel injection, liquid cooling, six-speed cassette gearbox, midship catalyzed exhaust, and even a balancer shaft.  The handling is equally inspired thanks to a stiff but narrow trellis frame, pleasingly low seat height, sophisticated adjustable suspension and grippy radial tires.
The Vulcan 900 has everything you need, and nothing you don't.  It's the best choice for middleweight cruising - at a sensible price.  It stands tall in its segment thanks to a full complement of features normally reserved for bigger bikes.  The story begins with a 903cc liquid-cooled V-Twin and digital fuel injection for performance.  The first time you hit the electric started you'll know - this is the ride you've been dreaming about.  The low 26.8 in seat height builds confidence and so do the ergonomically shaped controls with their low-effort operation.  Changing up through the gears you realize - this bike can keep up with the big dogs just fine.
