Pros and Cons in comparison
Kawasaki Vulcan S 2024
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.

If you want to, you can also conquer challenging off-road terrain with it. However, those who don't have to cover long distances will yet prefer the lightness of the standard T7. The World Raid's wide tank is noticeable in its ergonomics and handling. The high-quality suspension, on the other hand, copes well with tough off-road passages and, thanks to the steering damper, the bike remains very stable even on fast dirt tracks. 6-axle IMU and Ride-by-Wire also allow the integration of cornering ABS, drift and lean angle-sensitive traction control on the Ténéré long-distance flagship. However, the quickshifter must be paid for separately. The bottom line is that, in keeping with its name, the World Raid is aimed particularly at world travellers and is very well thought out in this respect with a wide range and plenty of off-road comfort, yet not quite as comfortable as other touring enduros with a stronger focus on asphalt.
