Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Harley-Davidson Street Rod 2017
The Harley Davidson Street Rod is a motorbike for all those who want to become part of a traditional brand with little money. It also cuts a fine figure in the city, with a turning circle that some naked bikes could learn from. At the same time, it is ideal for anyone who wants a cool Harley look with sporty handling and more lean angle freedom. Only the soft brake and the hard-to-find idle depress the fun that the Street Rod brings even in winding terrain.
Kawasaki Vulcan S 2015
The Vulcan S is reinvigorating the "small" mid-size cruiser scene - not only because of its unique design, but also because it is so easy to ride and is aimed at beginners. The low seat height and the narrow saddle help the rider to stand securely on the ground, while the low centre of gravity also makes for easy and safe handling. The engine also fits in well with the uncomplicated appearance, can be revved up decently from 2000 rpm and only stops at around 10,000 rpm - something that has never been seen before in a cruiser. The "Ergo-Fit" system, which varies the seat height, the rider's distance from the handlebars and the footrests, costs extra but also allows the Vulcan S owner generous customisation options.
