I bought brand New Vulcan S in 2019, after 5 years and over 40,000 miles i still love it. My addons are; new seat, led aux lights, outlet power, saddle bags. Now all Kawasaki needs to do is build Vulcan S 1000 then i would buy it.
I've never rode a Vullcan S, but I did sit on one a few months ago and found it very comfortable. Of course all the Kawasakis I ever owned were very comfortable. My wife is crippled and can't ride any more, but if she recovers where she can ride again I want another bike. My three choices are a Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650, Kawasaki VUlcan S, or a Triumph Bonneville. Time will tell.
This is my first and only bike. My only gripe about it is the lack of a slipper clutch and traction control. I also had to have the seat modified for more comfort. And the handlebar vibrations can be jarring at high RPMs after a few hours of riding because of the parallel twin engine. But other than those that I mentioned, it is a great bike. That power is just insane especially when you get past 6000 RPM! This bike can keep up with those liter bikes on group rides.
It should be a requirement that manufacturers make self-canceling turn signals. I'm sure many accidents are caused by drivers thinking the rider is going to turn, since their signals are on.
I bought a Vulcan 650S in 2016. It was the biggest (engine) motorcycle I've owned. Due to the Euro-Fit options, it is a great motorcycle for new riders of all sizes. Simply stated, it is a fantastic motorcycle at a reasonable price.
It was my first moto season in 2023, KVS was my choice, 5500km by 5 months in Moscow and nearest cities. KVS is great bike for newbies as well as for experienced riders! Nothing to complain about, except mb the sound, that's why I instantly changed the exhaust with Arrow
For years I wanted to test ride the kawasaki Vulcan s because it looked like a blast to ride. So when I when kawasaki was doing a demo day near me recently i jumped at the opportunity to take it for a spin and I have to say it was fun and different than anything I rode before, i was impressed how quick it was, I definitely want to add it as a second bike with my honda vtx 1300. 👍 great review
POUND FOR POUND AND DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR I THINK THIS HAS TO BE THE BEST MOTORCYCLE I HAVE BOUGHT ... 4 YEARS REGULAR OIL CHANGE AND BRAKE PADS 1 TIME ... HOWEVER IF YOU PLAN ON RIDING FOR MORE THEN 1 HOUR THEN YOU NEED TO GET THE SEAT PADDED ... WHICH I HAD DONE AND NOW I LOVE THE RIDE 100%
Just bought a 2023 and I agree on all points. I did buy the ergo package since I am 5’6” but the flat feet make it perfect and so comfortable for a great in control ride

Very Informative
been thinking about getting this one!
Interesting and informative comparison with the Honda but it's Kawa's obsolete unbalanced twin engine that puts me off.

Love my 2022 Vulcan S. It’s been a dream to own and ride. Great video.
Never knew what to make of these Vulcans - very insightful.
love my Vulcan. It's not fancy, but it has tremendous torque, and it's light.

Nice one seriously going to make this my next bike 🥂 from Uk 🇬🇧🥂
I own a KVS, and love it. however, the Rebel 1100 comes with a more tech, torque, and HP for that extra money.
So good that I bought one.
I own a Vulcan 900 and as I'm older now, I'm looking for a lighter cruiser. It seems that the Rebel and the Vulcan S are my only options.
