2002 Kawasaki Vulcan 800 Drifter, VINTAGE COOL~ - Following the successful debut of the Vulcan 800 Drifter retro cruiser two years ago, Kawasaki felt this mid-size cruiser was privy to a few nips and tucks. For example, it was refurbished for a more custom feel, thanks to a specially contoured solo saddle, a new chrome package and a lively Candy Cardinal Red paint scheme. So, for 2002, the “little brother” to the Vulcan 1500 Drifter model returns with all the style of its bigger sibling but in a more lightweight and affordable package. At first glance, the Vulcan 800 Drifter’s styling sets it apart from the competition. The sculpted fenders covering much of the spoked wheels and the single fishtail muffler jutting out the back immediately catch the eye. The generous use of chrome on the engine covers, bullet-shaped headlight shell, fork and shock covers, handlebar and clamp, rear fender rail, and license-plate bracket enhance the “custom” look.
