2009 Kawasaki VN900 Classic

The all-new VN900 Classic, already at dealers throughout the country, replaces the very popular middleweight VN800. Its cylinders share the 88mm bore and the 55-degree V-angle of the smaller machine, but stroke has been increased to 74,2mm to raise capacity from 805cc to 903cc, and improve mid-range and bottom-end grunt. The liquid-cooled twin cylinder engine boasts huge fins for the traditional cruiser look, and electronic fuel injection controlled by dual throttle valves uses automotive style fine-atomising injectors to minimise fuel consumption and help eradicate the slightest hint of a flat spot anywhere in the rev range. The new crankshaft, like those in all Kawasaki V-twins, uses a single crankpin and a gear-driven balancer to iron out excessive vibration. The latest engine also emulates its two-litre sibling, the VN2000, in utilising lightweight nut-less connecting rods to help in the tussle against uncomfortable high-frequency vibration, while leaving the characteristic V-twin pulses firmly in place. The external parts of the engine that aren’t chromed are all finished in black powder coating, giving the new bike the appearance of an expensive custom-built machine.

Kawasaki’s also done a marvellous job of improving every other aspect of this class-leading middleweight. The bike’s longer and lower than its predecessor, the VN800, and the seat height improves both styling and low-speed manoeuvrability. The 50mm longer wheelbase adds stability on the highway, while fork rake and trail have been altered to provide low-effort control around town. The triangle-shaped swing arm gives the appearance of a classic hardtail motorcycle, but a pre-load adjustable single shock absorber hidden beneath the seat negates the disadvantages that come with a stylish but impractical solid rear end. The five-speed transmission is equipped with Kawasaki’s exclusive Positive Neutral Finder, allowing the rider to engage neutral first time, every time he wants to.

The Kawasaki delivers its power to the massive 180mm wide rear tyre via a belt final drive. This requires far less maintenance than a chain drive, and makes the motorcycle much easier to keep clean. It also offers a smoother ride, and is more efficient than a heavy shaft drive.

Anybody who knows anything about cruiser motorcycles knows that their wheels should have spokes, and lots of ‘em. The Kawasaki VN900’s chrome rims are attached to the polished alloy hubs by 48 wire spokes each. Unlike most of the opposition, which use drum brakes at the rear, the new cruiser comes with a 270mm back brake disc to complement the powerful new twin-piston calliper and 300mm disc at the front.

There was a point when I was single that I used
to judge people I dated by whether they liked cats or not.
The lead character of Dumm's strip was a male, whereas Messick's
lead character was female. To publicize her thoughts in
America, El Saadawi examines how each media institution is funded and whose interests are represented before she agrees to an interview.
Simply put on heavy eyeliner on your eyes and make sure that
they extend beyond the edge of your eyes and let the line go upward.

New simulators are on average produced every second month and some are highly
expensive. Some of the game titles that are part of this genre involve the more
recent of the Red Baron series and European Air model.
Because Lemonade Tycoon is flash-based, it can be played by virtually anyone with a web browser.
Flight - simulator flight simulation features highly detailed time of day modeling and can track
the current computer clock time in order to correctly place the sun, moon,
stars, etc. Yes, it may be true, but the training flights are different.

The Build - We know size was listed already as a positive attribute to these cameras,
but it works both ways. Canon cameras are the loved of millions of photographers who want to explore more sides
of photography. This comes in specially handy when driving a car and you
have a i - Pod Touch stand with you so you can easily slip your phone into that and not worry about it getting damaged in any
manner.
