    This is how a review should be. Love the style sir. Oozing knowledge, experience. No stumbles no slipups just what is needed. Hope to see many more from you.

    So I just did a test ride on the Vulcan S and the Indian Scout. I agree this is a very practical decision to buy this bike. Not intimidating at all, very light. The biggest challenge for me was the forward controls as I am used to a larger sport tourer, the FJR1300. I am 5 ft 7 inches and the mid set up was fine. By the way, this bike (to me) rode better and smoother than the Indian Scout 69. Excellent review.

      It is. Smooth and linear.

    The only reason I choose street 750 over vulcan is belt drive. Chains are very annoying to maintain.

    The rear suspension is adjustable. It is a cruiser and the seating position and forward foot pegs are something to consider. The seats are hard and no grab rails. The trim is plastic, not the motorcycle! Hard to find a modern motorcycle without plastic on it. The exhaust catalytic converter is way too low and drags.

  • @mitchelltj1

    Great review. Would you recommend the Vulcan S or Yamaha Bolt?

    • @Motovore
      @Motovore  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      We don’t have the Bolt here, so I’m afraid I can’t judge.

  • @surajitkumarmondal9695

    I live in Kolkata and confused between Aquila Pro 650 & Vulcan S.Which one is better for me if I consider the after sale service to be my first priority?
    Waiting for you reply sir.

    • @Motovore
      @Motovore  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would guess the Kawasaki.

  • @69FOSTER
    @69FOSTER 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Clear and thorough review! I am torn between getting a Vulcan S and a Harley Sportster 48. Any thoughts on the comparison between those two bikes?
    Also, the Vulcan engine seems to have a lot of zip compared to the Sporster, can anyone confirm? As far as bikes that cost a little more and give a lot more performance, what motorcycles could you recommend?
    What I am looking for: I can no longer ride my Triumph Bonneville because the riding position is too painful for my hips, so I am looking for more forward foot controls, along with an upright riding position, while looking for performance to ride primarily in-town (Los Angeles.)

    • @Motovore
      @Motovore  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Chalk and cheese. Too many differences to list in a comment. Be sure to ride both for a while before deciding. I think you’ll ride the Vulcan more, if you’re tooling about in town. I think the Vulcan also carries its weight lower.
      My context of price/performance is India, so much of what I’d recommend won’t apply to you in the US. The Vulcan definitely has more zip.
      Ultimately, the 48 is sexier and better to stand next to. But I figure you’re past that.

    • @69FOSTER
      @69FOSTER 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you so much. I'm leaning toward the Vulcan and this answer helps.

    @MegaRai2012 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nice bike and information Sir..
    I need some suggestions or can says expect opinions,like everyone i also has a dream for cruiser bike..and I has decided to go for kawasaki vulcan S. But the problem now is that,I am working abroad.but yes i visit India in between 4 to 5 months for the period of 8-10 days. So need the expert opinion. should I go for it? Because bike will be park for straight 4-5 months. Inputs and suggestions are most welcome.

    • @Motovore
      @Motovore  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Perhaps you could leave it with a friend who can use it once in a while to keep the battery healthy. Or just store it well and use a battery tender. It should be fine.

    • @MegaRai2012
      @MegaRai2012 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you very much for your valuable inputs, quick one how frequently should have to start or use my bike? once a month 1-2 time workable?

    • @MegaRai2012
      @MegaRai2012 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      And very helpful if you could give me some more details about the bike, how practical is this bike in Indian condition at this price. or at this price range what other options are available? I really like INDIAN Scout but that is out from my budget.

    • @Motovore
      @Motovore  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I’d say every week, ideally. I’ve gone much longer between starts, but it’s not nice to be surprised one day with a dead bike.

    • @Motovore
      @Motovore  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I found the bike very practical in our conditions, for the reasons outlined in the video. The only downside is the ground clearance. You have to be careful on speed bumps. I’d say this is the bike to get in it’s class. Your alternatives are the Street 750 and Street Rod (which is fun).
      The Scout suffers even more from ground clearance issues. You can find a review of that on my old channel - TH-cam.com/c/thrillofdriving

    The way you were reviewing the bike, it seemed that you did not wanted to review the bike in the 1st place. It seemed like you wanted to get it over with, as soon as possible.

    • @Motovore

    Pretty exhaustive review. A bit surprised that you did not talk much about the low 130mm GC. Isn't that a deal breaker from cruising point of view?
    I am a bit torn between this one and Versys 650. My primary use is going to be occasional long distance cruising (400-500 km per day) with wife and normal city driving in this budget range. HD I have heard heat up a lot so won't be good in Delhi heat

    • @Motovore
      @Motovore  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Did I miss the ground clearance? Yes, it did scrape once, but owing to my light weight, not again. It shouldn’t matter on relatively decent roads, and upping the preload should sort it out.
      But yeah, if you want truly go-anywhere performance, the cruiser format itself isn’t ideal for Indian conditions. Versys would be my pick.

  • @KING20007009
    @KING20007009 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    This bike can easily be compared to GV650 and GC would beat it easily.

    You are talking rubbish mate, I think people will buy it with the heart, it’s a motorcycle for someone who loves this style of bike and it has a Ninja engine.
