Brasfield: My how twins have changed since I stopped carrying Motorcycle
Cruiser business cards! What would have been big twins just a couple of
years ago are now merely very large twins. But that’s all right with me.

Friedman: The mighty have fallen. Kawasaki’s big Classic has been a
top-ranked V-twin since our first big twins comparison back in 1996. It has
won or run with the leaders in every big twins comparison we have conducted.
But with this quartet, it’s number four.

Cherney: Never thought I’d see a 1600cc motorcycle regarded as
“middleweight,” but that sad day has arrived. These bikes still scream
“full-size” to me, and nothing exemplifies that heft like the Kawasaki 1600
Classic. Technically, the pumped-up 1600cc motor works fine, but if you’re
going out for something more than a straight-line spin, you’ll be
disappointed by a sluggish chassis. Harley’s venerable Fat Boy still manages
to be a nice surprise, with its 1450ccs of visceral rumble and
not-as-bad-as-I-expected-it-to-be handling. Still, cornering clearance is
limited and brakes are lackluster, so it’ll take a bit more than strong curb
appeal to pry 17 large out of my tattered wallet.
