The Vulcan 1700 Vaquero is powered by Kawasaki's substantial 1,700cc V-twin. Its 52-degree configuration is designed to provide the strong low-end and midrange torque expected from a heavyweight touring cruiser. Liquid cooling and electronic fuel injection bring modern operating characteristics to the traditional V-twin layout, making the engine well suited to highway cruising, two-up riding, and loaded touring.

A 6-speed transmission includes an overdrive top gear that helps provide relaxed engine operation during extended highway travel. Power reaches the rear wheel through a carbon-fiber-reinforced belt, providing the smooth and relatively low-maintenance final-drive characteristics many touring riders prefer.

Electronic cruise control is an especially useful feature when covering long stretches of highway. The system allows the rider to maintain a selected cruising speed without continuously holding the throttle in one position, helping reduce fatigue during longer rides.

The Vaquero's frame-mounted fairing is a defining part of both its appearance and touring functionality. Unlike a handlebar-mounted design, the fairing is supported by the chassis rather than turning with the handlebars. Its sculpted shape provides useful wind protection while contributing to the Vaquero's low, streamlined bagger profile.

Integrated locking hard saddlebags provide convenient storage for riding gear and travel essentials while maintaining the motorcycle's clean lines. A wide touring seat, floorboards, heel-toe shifter, and relaxed handlebar position contribute to the comfortable ergonomics expected from a large-displacement touring cruiser.

Kawasaki's K-ACT II system combines linked braking technology with ABS. The system is designed to help coordinate front and rear braking while ABS helps reduce the possibility of wheel lock during hard braking situations. Dual 300mm front discs provide substantial braking capacity for this heavyweight touring motorcycle.

An integrated audio system adds another level of touring convenience, with AM/FM/WB capability and fairing-mounted speakers. The cockpit combines traditional analog-style instrumentation with digital information displays, keeping essential vehicle information visible while maintaining the Vaquero's classic bagger character.

The Metallic Matte Twilight Blue finish gives the 2024 Vaquero a particularly distinctive appearance. The deep matte blue bodywork works with the blacked-out engine, exhaust, wheels, fairing details, and chassis components to emphasize the motorcycle's long, low silhouette. It's an excellent color combination for riders who want something more distinctive than a traditional black bagger while maintaining an understated touring-cruiser look.
