Over $2,000.00 Saved on my New Vulcan S

- I was in the market for a new Kawasaki Vulcan S. Waiting for my Local Dealer to get in a new 2022 Model they said was ordered from Kawasaki. I personally didn't feel extreemly excited because the USA Lineup of colors are not appealing to me. Also ABS is not an available option to us here in the USA at this time.
Needless to say when I found this Vulcan S for sale by a Dealer within a hundred miles of where I lived I was more than interested. Great Color, ABS included, SE model (Top of the line next to the Cafe Version), and only 402 miles on it?
With some doubt I called, it was available, so I scheduled a trip after work the very next day. This bike was traded in by a genteman that didn't ride it as much as he thought he would, and traded it in on a side-by-side. Not only that but it still had exactly the same miles on it that it was traded in at, 402 miles to be exact. No one had even test rode it since trade in.
So 402 miles isn't even broken in yet. 600 miles would be oil an filter change, chain check, and several other maintenance checks. Almost too good to be true.
So I bought it, well under $2,000.00 less than a 2022 model would cost, add to that higher sales tax, etc. Ironic is when I got home the original buyer had purchased this bike exactly 2 years to the day that I re-purchased it! Talk about destiny,
The color? Pearl Lava Orange. Just beautiful. Options this year would have been mat Gray, White with a very light Blue trim, or White, Black, Orange Cafe Version, all of which I wasn't fond of. Oh yeah, Black isn't even a choice this year.
One of the best values I've come across in a long time. I am getting ready to customize my Vulcan S. So please subscribe and let's take this Journey Together! I appreciate you all! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Nice video as always Frd.
Thank You Sam!
Merry Xmas & Happy New Year 🙂
You also William! Thank you for checking in! Let's pray for an early Spring!
I understand you saved $2300, but off what? I don't know what the MSRP is on your bike or what other costs are involved other than that, but you do, so why not tell us? Saying you saved isn't saying anything if we don't have a starting number, and then the price you paid.
Nice color, I love orange. I too do not like the colors they come out with on these bikes. Not being available in black is super crazy stupid. Whoever is in charge of the color department needs to be reassigned. Note to Kawasaki: We do not buy your bikes because we like the colors - we don't. We buy them because it's the only way to ride you bikes. Take a note from Honda and their Rebels. Black, blue, red, gray; you know, real colors people like. I don't want to have to describe my bike color as, "Well, it's kinds green, but really dark and might have some blue or brown in it too."
I'm like you. I will not settle on a color I don't love. I'll do without, buy used or I'll buy a different bike. I bought a new car (when it was new) so I could pick the color and I still love it. Right this minute I'm on the fence between the Vulcan S and the Rebel 500. If they made a Rebel 650, I'd get one, because that's my max (I'm a small guy, 900 won't work for me), and I think a 500 might be just a bit too small. The color is the EXACT reason I'm having a hard time making up my mind. I want the Vulcan, but I hate their colors. I will settle for black, but I'd rather have red so I can be seen on the road, plus I like the color.
Thank you for your terrific comment. At the time I made the video the price of a new volcan not counting dealer
$2,300 less than a new model was the price I was able to pick my Vulcan up for when I bought it. Roughly four hundred miles on it I was extremely impressed. Apology for confusion but I am not a trained videographer and I miss a few details sometimes.
I was lucky to find mine and orange color because it is beautiful and I still love it today. They made a red version the year after my Vulcan and I would be sure that you might be able to find one used for sale.
As far as the rebel 500 I have owned two of them. I still have one of those in my stable. It's not a bad bike and it is a very good looker.
However I would own the Vulcan over the Rebel any day if that was my choice. I'd have to say the Vulcan is twice the enjoyment that the Rebel is. Power band, top speed, comfort at highway speed, and wind is not the Rebel 500's strong points. Besides the stock tires on the Rebel are quite slippery in corners, especially when cold. I actually had to make a custom seat for my Rebel because stock it made my knees ache. My Rebel is highly modified and accessories added. I'm actually thinking of saying good bye to it next riding season. It's perfect for quick errands, a strong point. Many people actually ask me what model of Harley is it, even with the Honda Logo on the tank, LOL 🤣. It's Orange BTW, my first was yellow, first year release.
Thanks again. Enjoy your ride
