Rare 2022 Kawasaki VN900 Classic – Low Mileage American Cruiser in the UK

A stunning 2022 Kawasaki VN900 Classic in Metallic Dark Green with white/orange pinstripes – a rare American-import cruiser motorcycle now available for sale in the UK.

Key Features & Highlights

• Rare 2022 model (UK import): Kawasaki stopped offering the VN900 in the UK after 2016, so this U.S.-imported Vulcan 900 Classic is an exceptionally rare motorcycle in the UK.

• Only 5,665 miles: Extremely low mileage from new, near-new condition and barely broken in.

• 903cc V-twin power: Smooth, fuel-injected 903cc V-twin engine (55° liquid-cooled) with 5-speed belt drive – one of the best mid-sized Japanese V-twin cruisers ever made, offering reliable performance with classic rumble.

• Striking vintage style: Finished in Metallic Dark Green with Pearl White accents and an orange pinstripe (official 2022 color scheme). Equipped with wide whitewall tyres for that classic American cruiser look.

• Touring extras (LT pack): Fitted with OEM Kawasaki leather panniers (saddlebags) and a passenger backrest from the Luxury Touring (LT) package for added comfort and functionality on long rides.

• Blacked-out & chromed details: Tastefully blacked-out engine, forks, headlight bucket, triple trees, and speedometer housing, contrasted with chrome and pinstriping – creating a timeless classic American-style motorbike aesthetic with a modern custom twist.

• Deep V-twin sound: Exhaust baffles removed to give a deeper, throatier V-twin lope at idle and a commanding rumble on the road (it sounds like a true Americana cruiser).

• Immaculate condition: Imported from dry-climate Florida, this bike has zero rust or corrosion – paint, chrome, and mechanicals are all in outstanding, near-showroom shape.

• Fully serviced: Underwent a thorough pre-delivery inspection, including fresh engine oil and filter change. Everything is tuned and ready for the ride.

• UK registration in process: UK V5 registration is being completed, so the bike will be UK-registered for the new owner. Viewings by appointment only.

Background: A Heritage Kawasaki Cruiser

The Kawasaki VN900 Classic (known as the Vulcan 900 in the U.S.) has a proud legacy. First introduced in 2006 as a successor to the Vulcan 800, it delivered big-bike cruiser looks in a mid-sized package. Its design follows the classic formula of pairing a capable engine with a larger cruiser frame, giving riders the presence of a heavyweight cruiser with the easy handling and lower running costs of a mid-weight. The 903cc V-twin engine gained praise for its smooth torque and dependability, contributing to the VN900’s reputation as “one of the best Japanese V-twin cruisers of all”.

Despite its popularity, stricter Euro4 emissions rules meant 2016 was the final year the VN900 was sold new in the UK. Kawasaki chose not to update the model for Europe, discontinuing it in the UK after 2016, even as it “happily lives on” in the U.S. market under the Vulcan 900 name. That makes this 2022 VN900 Classic a real rarity on British roads – a modern classic that most UK riders could never buy new. For enthusiasts who appreciate classic cruiser motorcycles with Japanese reliability, this imported VN900 offers a unique chance to own a limited piece of Kawasaki cruiser history.

Timeless Style Meets Modern Upgrades

The styling of this VN900 Classic is nothing short of iconic. It’s painted in a two-tone Metallic Dark Green and Pearl White finish (with a hand-painted orange pinstripe) straight from the factory, a throwback to 1950s-era cruisers that will turn heads at any bike meet. Full fenders, a stretched teardrop tank with tank-mounted speedometer, and the wide white-wall tyres give it an authentic retro look. Meanwhile, the custom blacked-out treatment on the engine, fork lowers, headlight, and other components provides a sleek, modern contrast that really makes the chrome accents and pinstripes pop. The overall effect is a classic American cruiser vibe – think old-school Harley Softail Deluxe – but on a dependable 2022 Kawasaki.

Beyond looks, this Vulcan 900 Classic comes equipped for comfort and cruising. It retains the factory floorboards and heel-toe shifter for the rider, a hallmark of the Classic model that makes for relaxed gear changes and all-day comfort on the road. You’ll appreciate the low 26.8-inch seat height (allowing riders of various heights to flat-foot with ease) and the laid-back ergonomics, perfect for soaking up the miles. To enhance its touring capability, the bike is fitted with genuine Kawasaki VN900 Classic LT accessories: a pair of lockable leather panniers and a passenger backrest. These not only add practicality (carry your gear and give your passenger some support) but also complement the bike’s cruiser looks with their leather styling.

The previous owner’s exhaust tweak – removing the baffles – has unlocked a deeper, richer exhaust note from the stock pipes. The bike now emits that satisfying V-twin rumble that really suits its character, without being obnoxiously loud. It sounds like a true American V-twin cruiser when idling at a stoplight, drawing thumbs-up from those who know. Combined with the VN900’s smooth fuel injection and belt drive, you get a ride that feels vintage in soul but modern in operation.

Low Mileage & Ready to Ride

With only 5,665 miles on the clock, this 2022 VN900 Classic is barely broken in. The low mileage is evident in its condition – the bike is exceptionally clean. Having been imported from Florida, a warm and dry climate, it has avoided the usual UK weather-related wear. The paintwork gleams, the frame and chrome show virtually no corrosion, and even little details like bolts and brackets are clean. It’s as close to new as you’re likely to find in a bike that’s a few years old.

Our mechanic have given it a full pre-delivery inspection to ensure everything is in top shape for the next owner. We’ve changed the oil and filter, checked all fluids, brakes, and controls, and ensured the tyres, belt, and battery are in excellent condition. The VN900 is known for its rock-solid reliability, and this example is no exception – it’s turnkey ready for any journey, whether you’re cruising around town or heading out for a weekend tour.
