  We have obtained long-slit spectroscopy for a sample of 9 S0 galaxies in the
Fornax Cluster using the FORS2 spectrograph at the 8.2m ESO VLT. From these
data, we have extracted the kinematic parameters, comprising the mean velocity,
velocity dispersion and higher-moment H3 and H4 coefficients, as a function of
position along the major axes of these galaxies. Comparison with published
kinematics indicates that earlier data are often limited by their lower
signal-to-noise ratio and relatively poor spectral resolution. The greater
depth and higher dispersion of the new data mean that we reach well beyond the
bulges of these systems, probing their disk kinematics in some detail for the
first time. Qualitative inspection of the results for individual galaxies shows
that they are not entirely simple systems, perhaps indicating a turbulent past.
Nonetheless, we are able to derive reliable circular velocities for most of
these systems, which points the way toward a study of their Tully-Fisher
relation. This study, along with an analysis of the stellar populations of
these systems out to large galactocentric distances, will form the bases of
future papers exploiting these new high-quality data, hopefully shedding new
light on the evolutionary history of these systems.
