She's a great all rounder bike and in my opinion is perfect for a first bike or even for those that have been riding for years! I hope you enjoy when you finally get her! Take care!

thanks! I'm really happy it inspired you :D

Congratulations! The tourer pack really helps in making this an even better bike! When you mod it get a new seat, I can guarantee you will not regret it ;) Thanks for your kind words! Keep me updated on how you are enjoying the bike and when you launch the channel! Take care!

Hi there Kyle! Thank you and welcome! :D How are you finding the bike then? Are you enjoying it? Take care!

You welcome my friend! I hope it helped in your decision to get a Vulcan S 😀 take care!

Marco C. You will love it! For the price it’s very difficult to do better in the cruiser world! There is the HD Street 750/Rod which costs about the same but to be fair don’t know yet how it compares to the VS. Looks wise I prefer the VS without a doubt! Cheers!

@@MOTOSPELL The Street Bob is still my dream, but I work in the hotel industry and this virus really wrecked my work so... will need to hold off on it for a few more years. I felt "cramped" on the 883 so I guess I would feel even more cramped on the 750. I like the cruiser seating position, feet forward and everything ;)

Marco C. I know the pain, anything related to tourism is not in a good position right now, I’m kind of the same. But better times will come, this will not last forever! HD now have the Softail standard but to be fair it is just 1k cheaper than the Street Bob, so might be worth the effort to get the one you really want in the future. I would love to have a Sport Glide or a Fat Boy but they are even more expensive. Cheers!

@@TheMarcodiator Hey Marco, Go sit yourself on a Yamaha Bolt, Better yet take one for a test spin, they weigh in at 547 lbs. wet. 947 CC - 58 Cubic inch, 5 speed , 107 mph top end , 65 hp , 27 inch seat height....That may change your perspective on metric bikes.... it goes like stink....( 59.3 ft lbs @ 3,000 rpm through to when the limiter kicks in at 5780 rpm..... Dyno will show 59.3 Hp at 5252 rpm , but that's because torque = HP ..at 5252 rpm'. The bike pulls and does not care above 2000 rpm. Passing cagers is a snap with this bike.....FYI.... 0 to full throttle is a 1/4 turn of the wrist..... you won't need more than an 1/8th most times. Ciao

Ohh yea, I forgot to mention, The Bolt's lean angle is 35 to 38 degrees ,depending on rider weight..... HD is 28 left , 27 right. .... A bonus if riding two-up, or packing 70 lb's of gear when riding solo, etc. For the rest of the tech spec's ..... google their website, Stay Safe

Thank you very much for your words, Patrick! I'm happy to have you here and that the review was useful to you! Sorry I didn't reply earlier, I'm currently working a night shift part-tine job so all I do is work and sleep hehe As you mentioned the rebel 500, they are bringing a Rebel 1100 to the market beginning next year, it's £2.5k more expensive than the Vulcan but it offers a lot for the price! Things like full LED, traction control, cruise control etc I'm actually very interested in taking it for a test ride. Take care!

Thank you my friend!

Thank you! :D Vulcy is a year older than Lilith :D I hope she’s treating you well! Cheers!

MOTOSPELL : I’ve done 10K Kms on her since Jan 2019 before the pandemic hit and all the rides stopped.. Hoping for better days !

I did 6k km last year, lack of proper gear prevented me from enjoying long winter rides but that is now almost fixed :D hopefully not long before we can all return to normality. Stay safe!

Thank you! :D

Hi there, my friend! The Quad Lock I have was bought in 2019, so it's the plastic one. Never really had a problem with any of the phones I used with it (Samsung S7 and Samsung Note 10+), but I've heard about it damaging iPhone cameras. Just in case, I did add the vibration dampener to it, so that would be something I recommend if you are planning to use the iPhone with it. By the way, I also added the wireless charging head and that was life changing! Take care!

You will love the bike! What mods are you thinking about first? Cheers!

@@MOTOSPELL Was thinking of starting with some saddle bags or going with the led Bulb. I don't know how much night riding i'll be doing so i'm leaning towards saddle bags.

Can't go wrong with that! Saddlebags and sissy bar were my first mods, it's very practical!

Thank you! It's a great and fun bike to ride indeed! Cheers!

It would be nice if it was shaft or belt drive indeed, would save me lots of time maintaining it, specially now in the summer, need to clean it and lube it after 2 or 3 rides. I'm thinking about fabricate some plastic inserts so I don't loose much space, I'll let you know how it goes! Cheers!

I will call my bike "Sally" for that S

Thank you, my friend! Take care!

Hi there! It is from Coremotorcycle seat, a company based here in the uk! Take care!

Hi there my friend! Thanks for your comment! The aftermarket seat I have now is awesome! Extremely comfortable! The only drawback for me I think is the looks. It doesn't look bad or anything but the Coremotorcycle seat looks way better on the Vulcan S. But this second one is much more comfortable than the Core so I pretty much traded design for comfort. The website is www.jn-seatcovers.com/en/ It would be a bit expensive for you to get it done there, I imagine as they are based in Portugal. I can send you some pictures if you want of the new seat and the information from JN-Seat regarding the type of foam used, the different layers and so on so you can show it to your local motorcycle seat reupholster. That information is not easily found on their website but I do have the photo they sent me when I contacted them last year. If that's something you would like contact me on facebook or instagram @Motospell so I can send you the photos. Take care and ride safe!

@@MOTOSPELL Thank you so incredibly much for all your help. It is greatly appreciated. 👍😊

Top Sellerie in France , you can design your whole seat on their website

Hi there! Not sure why the page is down but you can contact the guy who makes them on facebook. I know he was accepting some new orders recently ;) facebook.com/dean.holdaway.1

@@MOTOSPELL thank you

It really has a fantastic design! Complements the bike very well!

Thanks Allan! Believe it or not ACF50. As my bike is my only mean of transport I apply ACF50 all over the place to protect it from all the water and salty roads here in Scotland. Cheers!

@@MOTOSPELL Thank You

Congrats Aldo! You will have great fun with Misty! What accessories are you thinking to install first? Take care!

Hi there! Thanks for the comment and I’m glad it help you deciding going for the Vulcan S. I’m based in Edinburgh :D I’m assuming if you are getting from down south is because you are getting a nice deal! The Vmax is a classic already! What a bike! I would say the VS is ok with our winds and on motorways, if the winds are really strong you might have to fight it a bit more, but majority of time is fine. Unless you get a windscreen or something just be prepared to take all the wind because there’s next to no wind protection. I try avoiding motorways, doing 60-70mph for a period of time really gets me tired, it is specially hard on my neck. Take care and enjoy it!

Thank you for the reply. They were doing a 0% finance deal and rather than wait a long time for the bike t come in I decided to phone around to see if anyone had the blue (Ebony) in stock. The nearest dealer was in chesterfield. Heading down to pick it up on Thursday and so the 5 hour drive at 55mph is going to be interesting ... but we bikers love a challenge. I’ll be taking it to Kawasaki Kircaldy for servicing.... spoke to them a few times on the phone and they come across as very helpful professional and down to earth. If ever heading to Glasgow then let me know / always welcome for a coffee. Stay safe and I’m enjoying your videos in the meanwhile

Ahh that’s nice! I actually got mine on that deal too! Best deal ever! Hehe I like that one with the blue graphics on the tank, it looks awesome! You will be fine coming up, it’s a long ride but with some stops here and there it’s totally fine! The guys at Kirkcaldy are great, that’s where I bought and service the bike. Now with covid can be a bit unpleasant, I went there in February for the 2nd year service and the other day to get new tires, both times I had to wait outside... I’m glad it never rained ahah but yeah, other than that, in normal times, I don’t really have a complaint about them. I might actually go through Glasgow some time soon on the way to Oban, I’ll let you know! Let me know about your 5 hours experience when you are back! Take care!

Hi Spell Sorry I didn’t get time to reply sooner. It’s been a crazy few weeks. I rode the new Vulcan S and the 300 miles were pleasant. It was a beautiful hot and sunny day, and as much as I was tempted to take some country roads I stuck with the motorway. I stopped after the first two hours due to rear end discomfort and then I stopped every hour for 10 minutes until I got home. Footpeg position took about 3-4 days to become second nature. Love the bike, nice colour, smooth engine, plenty of power in any gear and excellent fuel consumption. I’ve done 700 miles and it’s due it’s first service but I’m still waiting on the arrow exhaust to arrive from Kawasaki and if I can get the exhaust changed on the first service that would be great. The seat will definitely need changed as it is not comfortable for longer journeys. I have a list of other mods that I will probably carry out during the winter. So fat so good and the weather has allowed me to really enjoy my days on the Vulcan s. Stay safe Jay

The Versys 650 is a lovely bike! I actually had one just before the VS. I guess it would depend on what bike you like best as engine wise is basically the same. I prefer cruisers, my heart beats for cruisers, that's why I changed, so if you are the same go for it! One thing the Versys is much better is in terms of comfort! In the roads I ride it really makes a huge difference! It's basically a day and night difference!

I'm nearing seeing Abraham (lol) and in the Netherlands they've lowered the Max speed to 100km/h so a cruiser is better for me now too. Besides I'm a shorty too with my 1,65m

You will love the VS then! I tell you, it makes my rides easier and relaxed specially when I don’t need to worry about if, at an angle I’ll reach the ground or not, or even to get on /off the bike, so much easier! What color are you thinking about getting?

Thanks mate! I'm in Edinburgh ;)

I'm in Fife

I go ride there sometimes, I will actually release a video dedicated to the Fife Coastal route at some point :D

Larry Warnock yes sorry, didn’t count with that one. Cheers!

Lucky enough to drop the bike?

Larry Warnock if you listen carefully I said unlucky ;)

Hi there Sue! She's is not bad 2 up, you feel a bit more the bumps but other than that I can't say I feel much of a difference especially when it comes to power, but both me and my girlfriend are quite light so that has a big influence on it.

Hi there! The bike is a "little demon" so I figured it to be the perfect name hehe

@@MOTOSPELL I like that! I was considering using the same name, "Lilith". Then I heard your name and I don't want to copy. I was also considering naming my bike after a woman I had a hot, but short, fling with. The joke would be I am still riding "..." (her). Lol! I might go full nerd and name my Vulcan S after a starship from Star Trek.

Ahaha I like your ideia for the name, made me laugh! Feel free to use the name Lilith, there's no objection from my part what so ever hehe I think I saw someone on a FB group naming it after ST with stickers and everything, looked great! Cheers!

Thank you very much for your words! Take care!

Just a regular guy who absolutely loves to ride cruisers! :D

Hi there! Thanks for your comment! She is great for that! I used her for a while to commute to work, and that was never a problem. Of course, if you add saddlebags, it can make it a bit more challenging if you want/need to lane filter, but otherwise, she is comfortable enough for that or even for long journeys. If you like the looks, go for it! You will not regret it! Take care!
