Road racing bicycle forks have an offset of 40–50 mm (1.6–2.0 in). [7] The offset may be implemented by curving the forks, adding a perpendicular tab at their lower ends, offsetting the fork blade sockets of the fork crown ahead of the steerer, or by mounting the forks into the crown at an angle to the steer tube.
The engine was radically redesigned, reducing its power but allowing for more smooth delivery. The 2010+ SE model has the factory option of lowering the seat height by 40 mm for shorter riders. This involves lowering the front and rear suspension. A shorter side stand is also needed. The SE seat is narrow and firm.
Longer than the corresponding unit on the CBR954RR (585 mm (23.0 in) compared to 551 mm (21.7 in)) the CBR1000RR's 34 mm (1.3 in) longer swingarm made up 41.6 percent of its total wheelbase. The CBR1000RR's wheelbase also increased, measuring 1,405 mm (55.3 in); a 5 mm (0.20 in) increase over the 954.
Although some consider the S40 too powerful for a novice motorcyclist, the bike's light weight and low seat height make it ideal for beginners who feel that 250 cc bikes are just too small. The S40 has larger shaft-driven rivals in the Yamaha V-Star 650 Custom , as well as the Honda Shadow Spirit 750 , which boasts its "super-low" 25.7-inch ...
The 4-into-1 all stainless steel exhaust exits on the left-hand side. Brakes are two-piston Brembo calipers onto undrilled discs. Two different fork manufactures are used: Showa with an outer upper tube diameter of 1.612 in (40.9 mm) and Fichtel and Sachs measuring 1.627 in (41.3 mm).
In vehicle design, the H-point is also measured relative to other features, for example the h-point to vehicle floor (H30) [1] or h-point to pavement (H5). In other words, a vehicle said to have a "high H-point" may have an H-point that is "high" relative to the vehicle floor, the road surface, or both.

The Vulcan 1500 Classic, introduced in 1996, had a 1,470 cc (90 cu in) liquid-cooled SOHC 50° V-twin engine with a single-pin crankshaft and a 5 speed transmission. Compared to the Vulcan 88 (which had been renamed to the Vulcan 1500 by that time), it had a lower 27.6-inch (700 mm) seat height, wide handlebar, and forward-mounted floorboards.
