1999 VN800C1 Vulcan Drifter

The Drifter provokes double takes and second glances. Observers smile when see what they think is a beautifully restored Indian Chief, then doubt corrugates their brows as realisation dawns that it’s an illusion.

The Drifter is based on Kawi’s popular Vulcan, which is itself a Japanese Harley clone. But the details significantly separate the two models. The Drifter has considerably less chrome, with more refined styling elements, and strong retro touches. It is very easy to confuse the Drifter with its ancestor-in-style, the Indian, at least at first glance – the deeply valanced fenders, the wide handlebars, floorboards with heel-toe shifter, spoked wheels, and a tank-top speedometer contribute to the deception. It is a very beautiful bike.
