VN 750 A / D

Description

From 1986 ( in Europe until 1995, in the United States until 2006 ) VN 750, the "small" Vulcan of the UN series.

The VN 750 A (A = U.S. model ) was published in 1986 as a result of a model for the VN 700 and continued the Vulcan series, but could not be sold in Germany with that name. The German model (VN 750 D) was offered throttled, the U.S. version is open.

In a way to square the circle was from Kawasaki so tried. On the one hand it should be a softchopper other hand, it should be driven like a normal road bike.

The bike was technically not a chopper: two camshafts, four valves, twin spark ignition, water cooling, hydraulic valve lifters, shaft drive, power more in the mid to high speed range, cast wheels and motor block

Visually though, the model was a softchopper albeit relatively agile.

It was replaced in Germany in 1995 by the UN 800, as asserted itself in this market the cruiser look with retrostilistischen elements, but is offered in the U.S. today.
