Kawasaki VLCN900 CLS LT keeps an estimated 72% of its value after 5 years — #258 of 1052 powersports vehicles VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Kawasaki VLCN900 CLS LT retains an estimated 72% of its value after five years, ranking #258 of 1052 powersports vehicles we track. That is 10 points above the 63% five-year average for Standard in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Kawasaki VLCN900 CLS LT sheds about 6% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $10,399 it falls to around $7,539 by year five — a five-year loss near $2,860, about $1.57 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Kawasaki VLCN900 CLS LT bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
