owned the vulcan s 650 for a month; I am.a beginner rider and I love this bike

I compare my 2020 Vulcan s to my 2007 Suzuki sv650. Great beginner bike but deadly quick and fun with an experienced rider aboard. When I go to the garage, I usually grab the keys to the 2020 vulcan s over my 06 sv650, 07 Softail night train or the 2012 gsxr 750. Its just so friggin fun and easy to ride even though Ive ground the pegs to nothing twice already 😂

I bought a 2021 one like this 3 weeks ago for $1600 , it was crashed , front forks snapped and tank dent , i fix it and i have it running now 💯💯🔥 its pretty smooth ,it only had 315 miles on it too .. perfect for a beginner or even for just a cruise or commute.

Been watching videos about this bike for a month, never had a bike before and I'm about to get a similar one. I'm nervous to be honest. The bike is beautiful. Love for the love people.

I have my Vulcan s over 3 years with 15k miles and going strong 💪. Great fun bike

Good review, I bought one 2 years ago as a second bike, and I love it, its very underrated.

YAS! This is my first bike! I love 'er to bits. She's a wonderful machine, simple, easy to ride, nimble and really classy looking. It's from the Big 4 so it's gonna be reliable. She's a great bike.

I enjoy my Kawasaki vulcan s650. I am very pleased with it!

Very enjoyable review with a load of insight. Just beginning information collecting into riding, so the points on horse power and CC's to determine beginner bikes are extremely helpful. Thanks for a great video.

Plan to buy it too for cruising, watching this bike for a while and it is beautiful.

It’s looks like a great bike to get back on, after taking a 15 year break from riding.

My son has one, he loves it and has destroyed the hero blobs on the pegs. De catted Arrow exhaust and it sounds great. It's A2 restricted but seems to pull like a train I was impressed and I ride a 120 bhp Versys 1000.

Gd review I’ve had mine three years now and love it 🏍️💨💨💨

Great review. Am considering the Vulcan S Performance alongside the Honda Rebel 500 (which my son has just bought, and it sounds amazing!)

It looks like perfection.

Nice review. You forgot to mention Z650 in the line up.

Hi I am 5’9”. I found my lower back ached when I rode mine. The dealer gave me the gear change levers so I adjusted the foot pegs to their rearmost position. It helped but still not comfortable. I then adjusted the handlebars back towards me and that made a massive difference.

The Arrow exhaust sure adds an oomph to the ride. We did a Vulcan S meet up earlier this year at Loomies Cafe. Would be nice to get out there again, lovely area. :)

Just wanted to make everyone aware that Srkcycles did 0-60 tests on the Vulcan S and the XSR700... The Vulcan S was faster, yet everyone says how the Vulcan S doesn't have a lot of power. Nobody seems to notice the lack of power the XSR700 has though probably because they're biased. This bike is faster than a popular naked that loads of people rave about. I love the Vulcan S more and more every day.

Yep possibly my next bike have meteor 350 getting some experience past test in July this year ..67 and loving riding 😎🥂

Hey R-Zee...another great review of the KVS...keep them coming (from Down Under!)

the ninja 650r is the engine you were referring to- it uses the same 650cc twin engine that the Vulcan s, versys and er6n bikes. the ninja zx6r is the sport bike model in that displacement range.

Just got one and I love it!

I’m happy I found your video, I bought this motorcycle two days ago and coming from riding a HD Sportster1200 I was really “concerned” about the downsizing, but you made me see it in a different way! 😊 Thank you 🙏🏻 PD: What cameras are you using on the helmet and the motorcycle?? I would love to buy one of them for myself!

It would be nice if you upgraded to a better camera with image stabilization

Only one thing which I complain is : the fuel gauge, it does not show proper capacity. When you see a half it means that you have 2/3. It's annoying.

Good comparisons are Honda Rebel, Harley 750 street, Moto Guzzi V7 (?) and Royal Enfield Meteor (smaller engine and power). Compared to similar bikes it's there or there abouts with pricing...always could be less. Nice review.

My only complaint is the throttle, as soon as you let off it’s immediately starts engine braking hard.

The fact that the Kawasaki dealer told you not to worry about the first maintenance visit for like double the mileage should tell you something. Lovely country there 👍 Terrifying roads though 😋

I also thought the Vulcen S was over priced especially when compared to a Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650. The Super Meteor 650 can come with a windsceen, a passenger deat, passeenger backrest and paseenger foot pegs for about $7500. Where as the Vukcan S you have to buy all theat after you uy the bike for more money. But, would you trust a Royal Enfield as much as you would a Kawasaki? I've owned many bikes since 1967, some were Kwasaki's and every one of them were very dependable and very comfortable. That means a lot to me.

Would the Motorcycle Insurance be lower priced on this Vulcan S 650 than the 650 Z , or Ninja 650 ?

Too much fluff and not enough detail about performance of the bike. Superficial review.

Nice review thank you. Do you recommend this bike for beginner riders ??

Just bought this bike can’t wait to take it out, being 6ft can I adjust the foot controls myself or dose the dealer need too?

Can’t wait to get my Vulcan, just wondering what phone mount do you use?

i think i may be to big for it. going for the Night Rod instead

Beautiful view... Great review...

Hello!! Looking at this bike a lot but not seen many people overtake on it. I need a bike that will easily overtake traffic at motorway motorway speeds as I'll be doing a lot of long distance travelling. Does this bike have the power to get up to speed quickly even if its already doing 50-60mph?

Have you got your new exhaust yet? will you do a video?

Is the Vulcan S over priced? YES, but so are a lot of other bikes from Kawasaki these days like the Z650RS. A basic universal Japanese motorcycle and it costs $9000. in the U.S. Can you buy a less expensive motorcycle? SURE. The Royal Enfield 650 in one. But at all the Royal Enfield dealers I've been they always chanrge a destination fee, and a set up fee which brings the price up to what a Kawasaki cost. At some Kawasaki dealers in my area (Ohio) they will not charge the destination fee or a set up fee making the out the door price about the same as a Royal Enfield 650. But the Kawasaki offers Japanese quailty, and I belive is a much better machine. And it looks much better than a Honda Rebel. The Kawasaki might cost a little more than some others, but I've NEVER had a bad Kawasaki. I have had trouble with other makes, like Yamaha and I will NEVER own another Yamaha. If you stay with Kawsaki you can't go wrong.

Would a full size windshield, help?

Hi man what you got on the handlebar on right hand side near the mirror

It seems you can't get 61 Bhp out of your mind. sports bike should be over 100bhp?. Go tell that to Barry Sheene if he was still about. There is a race class from 125cc upwards. What is this fixation with Bhp. Its speed that counts and Bhp does not always equal fast. This bike will pass 120 mph and cruise at 100 with ease. What use is 150 mph unless you are on the track? And as for overpriced. What else can you get for that money? Other than that, nice vid.

i think it's from tailand

what fairing do you use?

It's a Ninja 650. Sportbike.

How many times did you use the word ‘really’.

How is the seat height for someone who is 5ft 4?

Brakes SUCK IMO. Coming from a bike that had brembo single 355 caliper on front and one smaller on back this doesn’t have any bite. It’s the worst part of the bike.. otherwise everything else is great.. especially with Corbin seat

Is it a good choice for 6'2" tall rider? What do you think?

this bike seems to use a lot of components from the versys 650 that I have

Cool ✨✨

I like the Vulcan S but I think the Honda Rebel 1100 makes this bike less relevant. Its considerably more powerful with slightly less weight, and smoother. The higher cost is well worth it.

This is the only color this bike should come in. Kawasaki has some goofy ass paint schemes

I can't find one in Texas, USA.

First time I hear someone says this one is overpriced 😂

Heading is click bait; this is not the Performance edition w/o the performance exhaust. Sorry!

Nothing under 100hp is a sportbike? Damn, you just threw away SO much credibility.

Choina

reading straight off the sale brochure lol
