Great honest review...and good craic! Only learning (officially😏) and you have confirmed this is the bike for me, keep 'er lit

My wife bought a 2015 Vulcan S last month as her second bike and she loves it. It's great for her because of it's low seat and narrow tank. Plus it's fun for me! I'm 6'4" and 300 lbs and this bike has enough power for me to enjoy as well. It's a little cramped since it's set up for her w/ the reduced reach options, but I still like it.

What a coincidence ! I bought my ‘Vulcy’ in Jan 19.. Its current miles is 7600 !!!!! This is my 4th bike and at 10K USD ( in India), this is it for me !

Gracias por tu video

GREAT video!! I am going to be buying my first bike in about 6 months. I have done a LOT of research and fact-finding in preparation for this purchase and the Vulcan S is most definitely near the top of my list --probably #2 or #3. However, due to the lack of ABS on a couple of other bikes that would normally be rated (at least for my use) slightly higher than the Vulcan S, it gets moved right to the top. For example, if the Honda Shadow Phantom had ABS I would probably have it at the top instead. I really like the low, long, lean, appearance of that bike --which is largely due to its 64.6" wheelbase. In comparison, the wheelbase for the Vulcan S is 62.0", which gives it a similar profile, but the Honda Rebel 500/1000 and H-D Iron 883/1200 all have wheelbases that are less than 60.0", which makes them appear taller and bulkier, at least to my eye. As a beginning rider I don't think there is any real advantage to buying a bike without ABS --especially since I can't ever imagine me racing the bike, or needing 100% manual braking control because I want to "rip through the twisties". Much like you, I anticipate a more laid-back style of leisurely cruising. Furthermore, several large safety-related organizations state that you reduce your chance of being killed or seriously injured by roughly 1/3 when your bike is equipped with ABS! That makes the inclusion of ABS a no-brainer for me...

Ill be buying my 2nd cruiser bike. An Indian Scout bobber for real. Keep safe sir. More power

Love kavasaki

Hey Motospell, thanks for the awesome video. I have a 2023 Vulcan S and have been looking for floorboards as a direct fit for the bike. The DHD Floorboards link in the description doesn't work anymore. Do you happen to know where I could get my hands on these?

Hi Spell , Great video, I am with you all the way its a cruiser for me too. Please do let us know how you decide.

Bought a Vulcan S 2022 after selling my Fat Bob 114. The price is so good for what you get, the sheer fun when you basically have a Ninja 650 motor in a cruiser style bike. The Harley has the image and sound but I think it ends there when you compare the costs between the two. I changed because I recently had a son so having a 18/19k being parked most of the time felt crazy. If you want a cruiser but also the fun of a naked bike it’s no question what to get 😃 also the Kawasaki reliability is a big plus, the only downside is the chain maintence really.

Oh, and once I am comfortable with the Vulcan S and my riding skills & ability I might decide to upgrade to the larger and much more powerful Scout Bobber Sixty. What a beautiful, well built & finished, well equipped (GPS & Maps are standard, I believe), bike that is! However, one of the other reasons the Vulcan S makes such a good "starter" bike is that it has enough power, weight, and size to make riding it fun for even more experienced riders, so it may be all the bike I ever need...

Great video 😀 p.s I now know what you mean re the vibration lol 😂. I reckon you will go for a Harley 🤔 does it have to be brand new ?

Boas. Onde comprou os suportes para as peseiras? Bom video.

I bought a 2023 Vulcan S about 2 months ago. So far think its a good bike. It is my second bike compared to the Suzuki C50T I had the Vulcan S has really impressed me for a 650 it has plenty of power. I like the foot boards you have could you tell me more about them? I would like to get some for my bike.

in my case i got this grateful vulcan s last year 2022version. If i have a chance to change the bike, that will be z900rs.. Nevertheless the vulcan will be by my side as long as possible^^

Truly is a great bike but does require some personal tweaking: Seat needs changing to something more comfortable if you are riding more than 30mins. Headlight needs to be changed, stock one is so poor. Exhaust needs the arrow rebel one they do with it (or another after market one) so you can actually hear the damn thing. Worth installing a boosterplug to smooth out the jumpy first gear. Mirrors are hideous so that would have to change for me. Install a radiator guard. Sounds like quite a lot but all of the above are easily sorted out with only the exhaust and seat costing something noticable. Then its a near perfect bike with maybe only the suspension being a bit on the hard side. Even though the above are easily sorted out I am still amazed Kawasaki don't have most of it sorted out from the start. But it is a great bike and I love it!

Check out the new mot changes for motorcycles, you won’t need to put the old bulb back in.

Hi Spell ! I just bought one a 2019 cafe with 3000 miles. It is my first bike, im a car guy ! I have a question, is it normal that i always have the impression that the engine sound, sounds like its tickling ? Like a little annoying small tik tik tik? All i know for sure because it was the bike of my aunt, is that he never was missused, beaten and the maintenance was all done properly. Thanx a lot !

I like Vulcan s, What is the reason why you buy a vulcan s?

Hello from USA! Question, why would a superior LED bulb not pass MOT?

As for your next bike, go for Triumph Rocket 3 GT.

Yamaha x-Max 400 scooter, great cruiser , I have one for sale if interested

Vulcan 900 Is belt driven vtwin

fun bike but the suspension is atrocious
