Kawasaki Vulcan S

Kawasaki Vulcan S Overview

The Vulcan S stands out for a cruiser-friendly low seat: at 705mm, it is lower than the listed rivals, which may help shorter riders get their feet down. Its 649cc engine produces 59.94bhp and 61Nm, while dual-channel ABS helps prevent both wheels from locking during hard braking. A six-speed gearbox and adjustable rear suspension add useful flexibility for longer rides.

The main ownership trade-off is fuel use: its 13kmpl mileage is a manufacturer claim, and the 14-litre tank makes frequent refuelling a consideration. It is priced above the Kawasaki Eliminator but below the Brixton Motorcycles Cromwell 1200 and Triumph Speed Twin 900. The Vulcan S has more power than the Eliminator, but its claimed mileage is lower. Its 130mm ground clearance is also worth considering on rough roads.

• 705mm seat height gives shorter riders a lower seat than the listed rivals.
• Dual-channel ABS helps prevent both wheels from locking during hard braking.
• 59.94bhp and 61Nm provide more output than the Kawasaki Eliminator.
• Adjustable rear preload lets you change the suspension setting.
• Claimed 13kmpl mileage and a 14-litre tank make fuel planning important.

Best for: Buy the Vulcan S if you want a cruiser with a low seat, strong engine output and dual-channel ABS, and can accept its modest claimed mileage.
