Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 Mean Streak $11,000

Chances are, you won't be finding the Mean Streak wrapped, ribboned and waiting for you under the tree this year. But that doesn't mean you don't deserve this diabolically styled liquid-cooled power cruiser. It's built for long hauls, with a fuel-injected 1552cc V-twin engine that's rubber-mounted to reduce vibration. Kawasaki also loaded the Mean Streak with high-revving sportbike components, such as inverted forks for precision steering and four-piston calipers up front for better braking feedback.
