Our take on this /// Verdict
Kawasaki’s 650cc twin-cylinder platform, the Vulcan S is certainly the biggest oddball. A low, long cruiser that’s carrying an engine developed primarily for a sport bike and a street naked. It’s well built, comfortable and even fun to ride hard.

User Reviews for Kawasaki Vulcan
Great "Sports Cruiser"
Great Sports Cruiser and a Head turner. It is surprisingly highly maneuverable compared to its size. One issue though is its low 130 mm Ground clearance which often creates issues around Speed bumps in Cities.
It is one of the best bikes
It is one of the best bikes in 650 cc cruiser segment.It has the feel of a cruiser yet a heart of a sports bike.For long trips or short fast rides, It suites and completes all your needs.Probably it has been underrated for 4 years now but once you have your eye on this, You can’t miss it and once you have your hand on it, You have to take it.
experience
After a 2000 km ride and much more experience with Vulcan S bike. I am surprised by its performance. It is quick and fast for a cruiser. It is a sportbike with a cruiser body. Because it is an expensive bike. I just wish it has more features like riding modes etc. Builds quality is awesome. I can't feel the vibration at all. It's heavy, but again because of the low seat height.
