Introduction
Embodying
classic American style, the Vulcan®
1700 Nomad™ can be the perfect companion for
touring or just cruising down the boulevard.
This flexibility means it can be many things to
different riders. For some it’s a full-blown
touring bike, its windshield, hard saddlebags,
floorboards, backrest and standard cruise
control taking the sting out of long days in the
saddle. Strap a sleeping bag to the pillion,
jump aboard and let the Nomad’s V-twin eat up
the miles effortlessly while you soak in the
sights and decompress. And with its mix of the
latest technology and luxurious two-tone paint
adding to its classic style, it’s a one-two
punch of thrill.
For others, the
Nomad is a more traditional cruiser, a
custom-flavored bagger with a look and attitude
that tells everyone who’ll listen that it’s as
happy cruising downtown as it is running across
the county or state – solo or two-up – for the
weekend.
The key to the
Nomad’s considerable flexibility is its blend of
touring-oriented hardware and the uniquely
designed Vulcan 1700 platform, which offers a
ton of versatility and performance whether in
Voyager, Classic or Nomad configuration.
