2016 Kawasaki VN900 Classic Tourer — UK Bike — 14,141 Miles — Full Service History — £5,495

There are certain cruisers that simply get the formula right, and the Kawasaki VN900 Classic is one of them. Big enough to feel like a proper, full-size cruiser, refined enough for relaxed everyday riding, and beautifully styled with that timeless low-slung silhouette, deep valanced mudguards, wide bars, rider floorboards and unmistakable V-twin presence.

The VN900 Classic was introduced as Kawasaki’s mid-capacity cruiser with a 903cc fuel-injected V-twin engine, low seat height, belt final drive and relaxed five-speed cruising manners — giving riders the look and feel of a big traditional cruiser without the bulk, running costs or intimidation of a heavyweight machine. Kawasaki’s own Vulcan 900 range continues to be known for its 903cc engine, plush seating and classic cruiser styling, while the Classic LT/Tourer specification adds the key touring equipment: screen, saddlebags and passenger backrest.

This particular example is a 2016 Kawasaki VN900 Classic Tourer, meaning it comes with the desirable factory touring package, including the OEM Touring Screen, OEM panniers and OEM passenger backrest with luggage rack. These are not random aftermarket additions; they are exactly the kind of equipment that suits the VN900 perfectly, turning an already comfortable cruiser into a bike that is genuinely ready for longer days out, weekends away and relaxed two-up riding.

About This Bike

This is a UK model with just 14,141 miles from new, backed up by a full service history from new. The last service was carried out in 2025, only 596 miles ago, so it has clearly been maintained properly and kept on top of.

Condition-wise, this bike is absolutely stunning. We took it in part exchange from a lady who was meticulous with it, and it is very obvious from the condition that previous owners have treated it with the same level of care. The bike is immaculate throughout — paintwork, chrome, engine cases, cycle parts, panniers, screen and general presentation are all exactly as you would hope to find on a cherished cruiser.

Please take the time to look through the photos and watch the walkaround video, because this is one of those bikes where the condition really does speak for itself. It is spotless.

It is also fitted with a matching pair of Avon Cobra tyres, both with a very good amount of tread remaining, so the next owner is not immediately looking at tyre expense either.

Why the VN900 Classic Tourer Works So Well

The beauty of the VN900 is balance. It has the road presence and stance of a much larger cruiser, but it remains easy to manage, unintimidating and comfortable. The low seat, relaxed footboard position and wide handlebars give it that proper laid-back cruiser feel, while the fuel-injected 903cc V-twin delivers smooth, usable torque rather than frantic performance.

The belt drive keeps things clean and low maintenance, the riding position is natural, and the Tourer equipment makes a real-world difference. The screen helps take the pressure off your chest on longer rides, the panniers give useful storage without spoiling the look of the bike, and the passenger backrest makes it a far better proposition for taking a pillion in comfort.

This is exactly what a cruiser should be: easy to ride, easy to enjoy, handsome to look at and built with Kawasaki dependability.
