We picked four of our favorites for "The Almost-Big V-Twins Face-Off." Harley-Davidson Fat song Boy versus Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 Classic versus Suzuki Marauder 1600 versus Victoy Kingpin Photography by Kevin Wing. Last year these four motorcycles would have been part of our big-twins comparison. Then the Kawasaki Vulcan 2000 upset the order of things. All by itself it created song a mega-twin class into which we swept the other oversized maxi-Vs, the Honda VTX1800 and the Yamaha Road Star 1700. That new uber-twin class narrowed the number of bikes eligible for this comparison, which we song limited to V-twin-powered straight cruisers with displacements from 1400cc to 1600cc. Even so, we could have included more than 20 models, too many to make a focused comparison. The displacement limits eliminated Honda and Yamaha, but Kawasaki still makes 1500s and 1600s, Harley has a full range of 1450s, Victory's line is composed entirely of 1500s and Suzuki sells a 1400 (actually 1360cc), 1500 and, new this year, a 1600.
