The Vulcan 1700 Vaquero has an impressive presence that lets
everyone know this big, stylish 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, they
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!

fully informed
• 1,700cc V-twin puts out loads of torque and offers
outstanding passing power
• 6-speed transmission allows for relaxed cruising
• Electronic throttle actuation system helps ensure
optimized injector timing and throttle valve position, resulting in an
accurate, powerful engine response
• Electronic cruise control maintains speed for more comfort
on long trips
• Frame-mounted front fairing directs aerodynamic forces to
the chassis to keep steering feel light

Powerful 1700 cc V-Twin engine
• Fuel-injected 52-degree 1,700cc V-twin is liquid-cooled
and features four valves per cylinder
• Long-stroke 102 x 104mm bore and stroke dimensions deliver
high torque levels with a powerful and distinct V-twin feel
• Valve-actuation system uses a single overhead cam
arrangement instead of pushrods for quicker revving and enhanced mid-high rpm
power
• Semi-dry sump design allows lower crankshaft positioning
and a longer piston stroke without increasing engine height
• Single-pin crankshaft accentuates the engine’s V-twin
character by providing strong power pulses
• Large-capacity airbox is located on both sides of the
engine
• Small-diameter iridium sparkplugs reach deep into the
combustion chamber for high combustion efficiency, especially during low-load
operation
• Engine tuning, combined with long-stroke design, offers
superior acceleration in the 50-70 mph range
• Even in overdrive (5th and 6th gear) the engine pulls
strongly, making highway passing easier
