Kawasaki Vulcan S 2023

Kawasaki Vulcan S 2023

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.

The "small" cruiser is insane fun, precisely because it does not represent the most powerful motorbike genre and shows what is essential about motorcycling.

Wonderful design

muffled, pleasant sound

comfortable acceleration/braking.

Running boards touch down very early

Relatively little power in the engine
