BORN TO RUN: That's probably the best description of a Kawasaki Nomad. Although the Vulcan Classic is a capable mount, Kawasaki's R&D department rolled up its collective sleeves to create a purposeful traveling cruiser. The Nomad, while resembling the Classic in many ways, occupies a different subcategory. Consider the Vulcan Classic and the Nomad as siblings, each blessed with different strengths which will lead them to embark on different careers. Designed to carry a rider and a passenger with gear over vast stretches of pavement, the Nomad's fashionable, functional, fat look goes deeper than the surface. Using the Classic frame as a starting point, the Nomad chassis incorporates 0.4-inch-diameter tubing throughout much of the frame. The diameter of the steering head is larger, and gussets strengthen this highly stressed point even further. The goal was to reduce frame flex, giving a more stable ride. Moving the steering head forward also aids stability when combined with the new triple-clamp offset. The Nomad is a very stable platform by which to load and ride to anywhere the imagination comes up with.
