Description
This 1996 Kawasaki Vulcan Classic 800 has been in the hands of its current owner since 2004 and has provided many enjoyable miles on Sweden's scenic roads.
To make long-distance riding even more comfortable, the final drive gearing was modified early in its ownership, resulting in lower engine revs and a more relaxed cruising experience. The result is a cruiser that feels equally at home on winding country roads and extended journeys through the Swedish countryside.
Over the past ten years, however, the motorcycle has spent most of its time resting in the garage—not because of any mechanical issues, but due to the owner's hip problems, which brought his riding to an end. During this period, it has been carefully stored, waiting for the opportunity to return to the road.
In the spring of 2026, the motorcycle was recommissioned by Sulas MC, who carried out a thorough inspection to ensure everything was functioning correctly. Among the work performed, the carburettor was cleaned and the engine was successfully restarted after its long period of storage. The inspection confirmed that the motorcycle remained in fundamentally excellent mechanical condition.
On 19 May 2026, the Vulcan passed its official vehicle inspection without a single advisory or defect, confirming that it is in good condition and ready for many more enjoyable rides.
The sale includes the original handlebars, original indicators, a luggage rack, and a cable lock with alarm.

Facts about the model
The Kawasaki VN800B is a classic Japanese cruiser that combines traditional custom styling with modern reliability. Introduced during the 1990s as part of Kawasaki's popular Vulcan range, it quickly earned a reputation for its relaxed riding character, low seat height, and distinctive V-twin soundtrack.
At its heart is a liquid-cooled 805 cc V-twin engine that delivers smooth, torque-rich performance from low revs. Renowned for its durability and refined power delivery, the engine makes the VN800B equally well suited to leisurely country rides and everyday use.
Its styling draws clear inspiration from classic American cruisers, featuring generous chrome detailing, wide mudguards, spoked wheels, and a long, low silhouette. At the same time, it offers the build quality and dependability for which Japanese motorcycles are known, making it a favourite among both new and experienced riders.
The VN800B has also become a popular platform for customisation. Thanks to its clean frame design and adaptable layout, many examples have been transformed into bobbers, choppers, or bespoke custom motorcycles, allowing owners to create a machine that reflects their individual style.
Today, the Kawasaki VN800B is regarded as a modern classic, offering timeless styling, excellent comfort, and proven mechanical reliability. It remains an appealing choice for anyone seeking an authentic cruiser with plenty of character and enjoyable road manners.
