Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Vulcan S 2022

Kawasaki Vulcan S 2022

No matter which platform Kawasaki puts the 650 cubic two-cylinder in, the result is always a great motorbike! Even though the engine is unusually rev-happy for a cruiser, it results in a cruiser that actually qualifies as a sports cruiser when paired with the sporty chassis set-up. The only brake is the limited lean angle clearance, but this will not deter lovers of hearty footrest grinding. With such a good bike, we hope that Kawasaki will follow suit - after all, the Vulcan S has been with us almost unchanged since 2015.

powerful engine

chassis tuning with sporty Kawasaki DNA

real cruiser seating position

easy-to-read display

potential in tuning

Appearance a little outdated

moderate wind protection

Indian Scout Rogue 2022

Indian Scout Rogue 2022

The Rogue, a new addition to the 2022 model line-up, will make old-school cruiser fans happy. A bike with a powerful engine and without a lot of tam-tam. However, the cool minimalist look comes at the price of small functional limitations, which won't bother real enthusiasts.

High-revving engine

discreet, elegant "all black" look

reduced to the essentials

surprisingly good wind protection

Restricted lean angle as typical for the class

undersized rear shocks

pillion seat at extra cost
