Motorcycle specifications KawasakiVN 1600 Mean Streak 2004 A little more muscle?

presentation of the VN 1600 Mean Streak 2004

kawa's muscular custom takes advantage of the 2004 model year to pump up its biceps. Displacement increases from 1470 to 1552 cm3. Perhaps more power, but also more torque for more thrills. Apart from the flashy colors, reinforced swingarm and modified seat, the rest of the machine remains unchanged. It retains its inverted fork and huge brakes. But how will this new 1600 measure up against the new VN 2000 from the same manufacturer?

A splendid look, a neophyte cannot remain insensitive to the sight of this bike...In my opinion the green color of the 2004 model is OUFFFFF!!!! Rating : 5/5
French Model 2004
The most beautiful Japanese custom ever created!
Racy, classy, well-equipped and mechanically well-muscled. Everything I love in a custom...

As bulldoggy as a certain VICTORY 1700 Hammer.

As a Kawasaki rider, the VN 1600 Mean Streak is one of my passion bikes, along with the ZRX 1200, the ZX-12R and the ZZR 1200.

Riding a Mean Streak, be it a 1500 or a 1600, is undoubtedly a different kind of riding.

For your information, the SUZUKI VZ 1600 MARAUDER is its brother, designed by Kawa. Rating : 5/5

Salut a tout le monde , deja 10000 kms avec cette Mean streak acheter en 02/2006 , RAS que du bonheur , pour info 210 kms/heures avec pot cataletyque supprimer

French mumu Model 2006
My first 1100 kms on a Mean streak are done = 1st overhaul and fitting of accessories, this bike is fantastic I think they designed it for me (1.7O meters: 85 kilos), I love its riding position (perfect seat height and handlebars), its torque, its surprising roadholding (equipped with 17" rims and original low-profile tires), its remarkable agility, its noise and above all the pleasure you get from riding it, what a giant foot! it's a real cruiser like only Kawasaki can make, with an average fuel consumption of : 6 liters >> 100 kms >>3500T MAX >>130 kms/h (running-in required), but >>> BE CAREFUL in tight bends and roundabouts, it's hot, custom required
