Rakish Good Looks for the Long Haul

The Vulcan® 1700 Vaquero™ has an impressive presence that lets everyone know this big, tylish V-twin bagger excels on the open road. Engineered and built for long-term dependability the Vaquero also brings a healthy dose of practicality in addition to its dominating presence. Its roomy cockpit and long list of standard features like electronic cruise control and a high output audio system make this much more than just a powerful cruiser, hey give the Vaquero the impressive ability to handle a night on the town or a week on the road with an equal measure of grace and style!

Custom, lacked-out details are your first clue to the Vulcan 1700 Vaquero’s mission, nd there’s plenty to see. It all starts with the Metallic Flat Spark Black paint on the abbreviated fairing, culpted tank and curvaceous bodywork that looks as if it could be a mile deep. Luxurious chrome accents (engine guards, xhaust, irrors, tc.) provide a classy counterpoint to the matte paintwork, ut it’s perhaps the multi-textured blacked-out engine and chassis treatment that best highlights the Vaquero’s radical aesthetic look. The engine, ir-cleaner cover, heels, ork assembly and tank cover all get the blackout treatment, hich gives the bike a true custom look that’s beautiful and menacing at once. It’s definitely not a motorcycle you’ll easily forget.

Beneath all that beautiful bodywork, atte paint and chrome is a superbly engineered motorcycle, ne that blends power, andling, confidence-inspiring character and impressive dependability into a massively functional package.

It all starts with the Vaquero’s 1,700cc liquid-cooled V-twin, hich powers all four Vulcan 1700 models – Voyager®, lassic, omad™ and Vaquero. A thoroughly proven design, his 52-degree V-twin boasts the very latest in engine technology yet looks like a throwback to the past, time when the V-twin was the engine to have powering your motorcycle. Features include an overhead cam design, igh compression and a long-stroke dimensional design that results in the sort of effortless low- and mid-range thrust that’s so desirable and useful in a big-inch cruiser.

Vaquero’s throttle valve system works with the advanced electronic fuel injection to optimize engine response without detracting from its distinctive V-twin throb. The system uses an Accelerator Position Sensor (APS) and a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) that feed data to the ECU, hich adjusts the throttle plates to tailor intake airflow accordingly. The system offers a natural throttle feel, ecause the APS is activated by a throttle body pulley connected by cables to the throttle grip. Besides the obvious FI advantages such as improved fuel economy and automatic adjustment for altitude changes, he system also permits easy hands-off warm-up and idle speed control. Vaquero also features a water-cooled alternator that produces a staggering 46.8 amps of electrical output – plenty to power a selection of electronic accessories that enrich motorcycle travel.

A massive quantity of usable torque spread out over a shockingly wide rpm range is the signature trait of its muscular V-twin. With 108 foot-pounds of torque, mere twist of the Vaquero’s throttle delivers arm-stretching acceleration for freeway passing or spirited riding, nd the smooth wave of low-rpm grunt is always ready to please when you’re just boppin’ down the boulevard, hecking out the scene and chillin’.

Vaquero offers true touring-bike convenience in the form of its electronic cruise control system, onveniently operated from the right handlebar and usable at any speed between 30 and 85 mph in any of the top four gears. The cruise system can be disengaged in any of the following ways: depressing the brake lever, lutch lever, ear brake pedal, r manually turning the throttle grip past the “closed” position.

Additional touring acumen shines through the engine’s six-speed transmission with overdriven 5th and 6th gears, hich contributes to a relaxed ride and excellent fuel economy at highway speeds. Power is routed to the rear wheel via a narrow carbon fiber-reinforced drive belt that has a 40-percent higher tensile strength than current Kevlar belts. And that chopped, ustom-look fairing? Although lower than a traditional windshield or full fairing, t still cuts a decent-sized hole in oncoming atmosphere, iving the rider a useful still-air cocoon in which to enjoy the ride.

The intercom headset-compatible, 0-watt, win-speaker audio system features navigation audio prompts, three-band (FM/AM/WX) radio that is also compatible with iPods, n XM radio tuner, elect GPS devices, r a CB radio unit. The audio system (and iPod) can be operated by an integrated controller on the left handlebar. In addition to volume, he rider can also adjust the bass, reble and balance levels of the system.

Lockable side-loading hard bags set the Vaquero apart from its Vulcan 1700 brethren. They’re beautifully integrated and spacious, nd styled to highlight the bike’s long, ow look. A scooped saddle offers a comfortable rider perch, hile a minimalist passenger pad sits atop a wildly shaped rear fender that integrates equally stylish taillight and turn signal assemblies.

The frame holding all this hardware together is a single backbone, ouble cradle unit designed to be a slim and light as possible for an easy reach to the ground and optimal handling. Bolted to the steering head is a mammoth 45mm fork assembly offering 5.5 inches of wheel travel and a thoroughly compliant ride. Suspension in back consists of twin air-assisted shocks with spring preload and rebound damping adjustability working through a beefy steel swingarm. Nine-spoke cast aluminum flat-black wheels hold fat, 30/90 front and 170/70 radial tires that offer light handling characteristics, uperb traction and long life. Braking hardware consists of dual 300mm front discs with twin-piston calipers and a 300mm rear disc with a two-piston caliper.

It all adds up to a truly top-of-the-line bagger that encompasses a perfect combination of traits: It’s functional in a wide range of environments, rom inner-city cruisin’ to running down the open road. It’s got highly advanced technology. And it’s knee-shakingly beautiful, bike that’ll put goosebumps on your arms and neck every time you open the garage door to take a peek.
