Why call the Vulcan S a beginner bike? I'm 70 years old and have been riding since 1964 and I want one. I like the in line two cylinder engine and the way it revs. The Vulcam S is for anyone who wants to get away from all the V-Twins out there. Personally, I'm sick and tired of the chug chug chig of a V-Twin. I want the quick revving Vulcan S. I just sold a HArley which I paid $37,000 for and it broke down four times within the first year. Me going from a Harley toa Kawasaki is a step up. I will NEVER own another Harley. I don't like being broke down along the highways. I'll take a Kawasaki anyday and enjoy the dependability and performnce of the Vulcan S.
Its because is so easy to ride. I could even reccomend this bike to everyone after getting license as a very first bike. Its so effortless as you know it and the best thing we all know about japanese bikes, reliability. With after market exaust is such a fantástico bike to ride.
Because as a beginner myself it’s a really easy to learn on bike and the power is put out in such a way that it’s not throw you on your ass power but its there and ready to be used when your ready
I am double TKR (Total Knee Replacement) with infection ex Motoring Passenger Car Journalist -today a BIKER. KAWASAKI Vulcan 650 S my second motorcycle since switched from cars to bikes in 2021. First steed Royal Enfield Meteor 350 Single cylinder aka “The Vibrator” Two years 40,000 Km all over sunny tropical Thailand 🇹🇭 and I was fed up. WRY/NECK - STIFF NECK. Enough Indian Made RE. So I became a “KAWA” owner on Dec 2023. June 2024 88,000 Km on my Japanese. Every ride puts a smile on my face. Parallel Twin - No Vibrations. I am Johnny BikeSanooK! Born in. Suomi-Finland resident in northern Thailand. My You Tube channel: Carsanook.
I too here in the Uk looking at this had the Royal Enfield 350 and I like this very much me too about to be 69 only passed my full license 2 years ago 🤣❤️ be safe people ❤️
I noticed that you had it in 3rd gear most of the time, and in 4th for a little while. In 3rd it was around 5-7000rpm. That Ninja/Versys 650 engine likes to run at higher rpm. The ergo-fit is a plus too. Nice video.
The Vulcan needs a serious refresh. It’s a great bike but it needs to be updated, such as 15 to 20 more HP, updated gauges, and option for mid controls.
I bought a very low mileage 2018 model last year but sold it last week. Nice bike but coming from Adventure bikes and sport bikes, I just could not get used to the forward foot controls and odd look of the bike.
Same here. I’ve owned more than 20 sport/naked biked and bought a 2016 model year Vulcan S with 2k miles last week. I’m still trying to like it…but it’s not growing on me yet when I ride it.
@@georgeharsin6292 I guess I’m just old, don’t care what people think. I ride what is good for me and nobody else. I have the Vulcan S, Old Sportster and Old Bonneville, they’re not for anybody else, they’re for me, thus I don’t care what anybody thinks. Also I wear funny hats too. 😂
It comes with an adjustable seating position called Ergo-Fit. I was building one on site yesterday and it does have seating position for 5’6 and lower and it’s not only the seat. The handlebar too can be adjusted with the same tech. This is stock in all Vulcan Models
The way you talk about this motorcycle and not even wear proper gear i wonder if you ever ride a motorcycle before. also you saying this motorcycle sounds very nice ????? Really all these Kawasaki 650 being Vulcan S - Ninja - Versys they all sound like crap like a Japanese Kubota tractor and every body knows that
