Kawasaki VN 900 Classic 2009

The "small" cruiser is insane fun, precisely because it does not represent the most powerful motorbike genre and shows what is essential about motorcycling.

Wonderful design

muffled, pleasant sound

comfortable acceleration/braking.

Running boards touch down very early

Relatively little power in the engine
