The new mill on the Vulcan 1700 series is not a ‘tinkered’ version of the old 1552cc, Vulcan 1600’s. It is completely new.

Kawasaki state, that the engine in the Vulcan 1700 is ‘vaguely’ based upon the Vulcan 2000, which is the giant in the Vulcan series. Saying that, there are two main differences. The Vulcan 1700’s ‘bore and stroke’ engine has a 102mm bore, same as the V1600. Although, the stroke was increased to 104mm; 9mm up on the V1600 series. The other big difference? The V1600 has a single overhead cam, with four valves per cylinder. The V2000 engine uses pushrods. The Vulcan 1700 also features a carbon fibre belt, which delivers greater efficiency and power to rear wheel. With 6-Speed transmission, owners can also look forward to increased fuel mileage. Kawasaki state, the Vulcan 1700 offers a “Level of performance the competition can’t touch”. Bold statement, but justified.
