Kawasaki VN800 review
The
Kawasaki VN800 motorcycle for 2004 has changed in color from red to black, this beast of a bike has torque everywhere, from idle to redline it just power. It does what it is designed for similar to its brothers the
Kawasaki VN1600 and
Kawasaki VN2000 in looks without the size, its 805cc v-twin engine is perfectly adequate for anything you need from a middleweight bike, it looks stunning in Metallic Nocturne Blue, what with the polished chrome steel rims and 48 spokes around the spool style front hub.
The
VN 800 Classic has very sleek clean lines, the rear shock and linkage are tucked in out of sight to give the swingarm a clean uncluttered look, the instrument panel is compact, with all warning lights right where you need them, everything about this bike says style. For those of you who want your cruiser to say something, without being to in your face, want the thrill of the open road and a bike capable in traffic, this is the one. More
