Kawasaki VN1600 Mean Streak

VN1600 Mean Streak - CRUISING WITH ATTITUDE

A confident cross between drag bike and cruiser, the VN1600 Mean Streak is a real sports low-rider. Echoing San Francisco bay area low-rider style, the VN1600 Mean Streak is a serious contender in the performance cruiser category from its billet wheels to the full on design of the seat, tank and instruments. Its 1552cm³ engine delivers great low and mid range torque and can rev freely to make cruising or sports riding a very real prospect. While the pulled back bars and forward footrests cater to a relaxed riding provision, the upside down front forks and six pot brake calipers show that when this starts to move quickly the Mean Streak will corner, handle and brake like a sports bike. And just like a sports machine its water-cooled, fuel injected motor has digital ignition and four valves per cylinder and plenty of power.
