Four big bikes women can get excited about (WomenRidersNow.com)
Model(s) covered: 2009 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Classic, 2009 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Classic LT, 2009 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Nomad, 2009 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager
Kawasaki unveiled its all-new, completely redesigned-for-2009 Vulcan 1700 family in sunny Mill Valley, California, which includes the Classic and the Classic LT (for long touring).
