The Yamaha XZ550 'Vision' is a 550 cc V-twin, shaft-driven sport touring motorcycle produced by Yamaha in 1982–1983. It was powered by a 4 stroke 70° liquid cooled 4 valve DOHC engine, and featured a trailing front axle and monoshock single swingarm rear.
It has unconventional features with a cruiser-style 1,670 cc (102 cu in) air-cooled, overhead valve V-twin engine but sportbike or naked bike style frame and suspension. The engine is derived from the Yamaha Warrior XV1700 and modified to suit application in the MT-01, while the forks and brakes are derived from the 2004 to 2005 Yamaha R1 .
The engine is a slightly revised version of the air and oil cooled Suzuki Intruder 1400 motor: a 45° V-twin with offset crank pins to reduce vibrations. It also features shaft final drive and hydraulic clutch with a back-torque limiter. The 3-valve single overhead camshaft valvetrain utilizes hydraulic valve lash adjusters to minimise ...
In addition to its immense size and power, the VN2000 was different in one other way for Kawasaki. It is their only V-Twin with external lifters, making it unique in the Vulcan lineup and giving it more of a Harley look.
