Kawasaki has announced the Australian release of the 2012 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Vaquero cruiser.

Kawasaki release Vaquero Bagger in Australia

A tried, tested  model in the USA in 2011, the Vulcan 1700 Vaquero is now introduced to Australia in 2012 and the brand is expecting a positive reception for the new cruiser model.

Kawasaki’s first bagger model follows the wide-and-low concept. A number of blacked-out parts and numerous original-design styling components give the Vulcan 1700 Vaquero its own distinct look.

The Vaquero also features Kawasaki’s advanced brake system (K-ACT ABS), Electronic Cruise Control and a high-spec iPod-compatible audio system.

The Vulcan 1700 Vaquero’s  is powered by a 1700cm3 liquid-cooled V-Twin with a 6-speed gearbox including over-drive.

The Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Vaquero ABS is available now at Kawasaki dealerships at the RRP of $24,999 + ORC in Black only.
