Hey man, your easy command of English, and the beautiful countryside that you rode the Vulcan through made viewing this video an absolute pleasure. I am riding my Royal Enfield Continental GT on equally beautiful roads in the South West of England, but I'm looking for a little more sophistication. Thanks to your video, I shall almost certainly buy a Vulcan S Cafe next week. Ride safe my good friend.
I've been watching videos of the Vulcan for a while now before actually buying one 2 days ago. Your video helped me get a good idea of what I was trying to buy. To add...I have never been on a motorcycle until 2 days ago and I'm already comfortable with shifting, the throttle, as well as leaning and balancing. Granted I spent about 6 hours each day practicing those days, but great beginner bike for sure. If you treat this bike right and are careful, this bike will totally love you back. I absolutely love mine.
Oh yeah, plenty of power for me. I can honestly say I am still gunshy with the amount of torque and power. After several weeks now, I have noticed that I need to add a windshield to cut down on the wind. I get up to 40mph and it affects handling.
And same here XD My choices have came down to either an Indian Scout Sixty or a Kawasaki Vulcan S...and I don't think I can justify a Scout Sixty in terms of cost, but the Vulcan S seems like a really nice bike. I figure, I get my Vulcan S pay it off, have it for a while, if I still find myself going "but I want the Scout Sixty", then use the Vulcan S as a deposit. But, the Vulcan S is still a really nice bike, so who knows, I may not end up doing that.
Beautiful area to test the Kawasaki Vulcan 650. I little too much traffic. You are correct. It is a cruiser not an adventure bike. Put a windshield, fog lights and panniers and you are set for a weekend adventure! I'd love to see the style of mirrors you suggest.
I just rode one and had the SAME REACTION. Comfortable, stylish, great noise, fast, and shockingly good handling. I was exceedingly confident while riding it. Better than something like the Yamaha Bolt in performance, looks, and comfort for sure, for someone who doesn't want a HD clone anyway. I have never owned or wanted to own a cruiser and I want the Vulcan S, the Café model surely!
Finally you gave a testride to that beast ! I bought it for the reasons you brillantly raised : cruising pleasure, to see and be seen etc... I use it everyday for commuting and filetering is definitely possible with caution. Agreed, these mirrors are hideous but way more efficient compared to other stock mirrors. Thanks man keep up the good work :)
I think that vintage sports car was a Jaguar Model D. I had a toy car like that once. Nice! I am still waiting for the comments on the brakes, gear change, clutch feel, dashboard, vibration, leg comfort, etc.
This is perhaps my most favourite video on the Kawasaki Vulcan S 650 on TH-cam. I come back again and again once in awhile just to see you ride by that beautiful scenery of the beach overlooking the ocean as you ride that beautiful bike. I just started saving for one and I know I will love it for my first bike. By the way, what is that location of the beach you were at? It’s so beautiful and delightful to sightsee! Where is that at? Thank you!
Your reaction is typical of most people who ride one it would seem. This is a generally overlooked or dismissed motorcycle by almost anyone until they ride it. I own a Versys 650, it’s one of my all time favorite bikes. When I rode a Vulcan S I was VERY surprised by how good it is. The noise, the seating position, the handing... it’s a recumbent Ninja 650, not a cruiser. It just looks like a cruiser. It is in fact good engineering in practice. I want one.
I currently ride '12 Honda Shadow Spirit 750. I sat on this bike yesterday and here were my first thoughts: seat height is about the same as the Shadow which is very low (pro), VERY lightweight (pro), seat is rock hard (con). Can't wait to take it for a test ride when the weather warms up! Thanks for the video review. Portugal looks beautiful.
It is worth mentioning that Vulcan S has a parallel-twin engine instead of a V-twin design, and therefore, it has very different control riding characteristics. When I go to very light throttle, it gets a slight vibration/shudder. Not really lugging motor and it will accelerate fine. The Vulcan S simply doesn’t like “light throttle “. It likes to be wound out and shifted around 5000 rpm. I wanted to shift at 2000 rpm and ride at 2500 to 3000 rpm and Vulcan S engine doesn’t like that (shudder and vibrate). I now shift at 4500 to 5000 rpm and cruise around 5000 rpm. It just takes some getting used to (for those who used to ride a V-twin bike).
For people over 6 feet and heavier than 200 pounds, seat positioning and stiff suspension is a killer on the tail bone ... got mine a month ago and I can´t hardly ride for more than half an hour without pain. The bike is pretty fast for a cruiser, breaks well (got the ABS) and looks wonderful, but that all doesn't´t matter if the ride is uncomfy. After setting suspension to the softest set up and even customising the standard seat (mid reach) with microfoam cushioning did not have much of a change, so I´m trying soon the extended reach gel seat option. Fortunately I heard in the U.S. dealers can change the handle bar, footpegs and seat configuration for free ... in Europe that´s not the case
At 5'9" and 280 I found the suspension works great. Maybe this bike rides better with my chubby ass on it😂. This is my all time favorite. Terrible that you have to pay out for the adjustments. I ended up with the seat mid with the bars and pegs for short riders and can ride for hours without issue. Looking for small floorboards and a heel and toe shifter now
The Vulcan S , at least the ones in the last few years , do not easily scrap pegs and that's takin corners sharper and faster than most any other cruiser.
Hello, thank you for your insight on this bike. I might get this as my first bike & do a few years with it, I don't need anything 'harder' in performance. What are your thoughts?
Cpt.Brave it has enough power. it has decent quater mile timing and 0-60mph timing. Good enough power in mid range rpm. Actually its the best budget bike. It's not sports bike obviously, its a good for touring and in city drive, best part its lighter than most cruisers and touring bikes out there.
Those rubber bits on the mirrors are just there to protect them in transit. I had a Kawasaki Vulcan 900 and posted a video on here. It got a lot of views and one eagle-eyed viewer was able to advise me to take them off.
Please compare the ride of this to the Z650. I know it’s apples to oranges but, which one would you rather spend your day on? Great video as always, thanks!
Wouldn't a longer stroke 850 be nice in this frame, motor, and everything else? Maybe it would only add a few lbs and still be at about 500 lbs, and have a bit more torque.
Cager, thanks for taking the time to do these reviews. If you had to chose between this and the Honda CTX 700 DCT, what would be your choice? trying to decide and need a push one way or the other lol.
If it wasn't for that depressing 180 crank parallel twin sound I'd probably get one of these. I'm coming from an MT07 and looking for something a bit more chill but it's hard to part with the 270 crank twin sound.
I enjoyed the use of "Spirited" and might I suggest the use of "Brisk"? It has overtones of making progress in an Aston Martin DB5 at 03.00 from a casino in Monaco... Ooh! I forgot, "Crisp" for describing exhaust notes :) Love your stuff Mate!
Great review Cager, nice all round bike. Tho personally, I could not live with the lack of ground clearance. Looking forward to your next review. Cheers from Canada.
I read a tons of reviews, did few test drives and had firmly decided to buy this bike. But eventually decided to test a few alternatives before the purchase. Then I test drove NC750x and it was so much more comfortable that I bought Honda instead and never looked back. I still think it is the most beautiful small cruiser available on the market today but I wouldn't swap my NC for it.
First saw that Honda CT parallel twin in my Silverwing . It had constant velocity clutch that worked fine . Then added two more cylinders and powered the Honda Fit hatchback . I'm so enamored with my CTX that will never go back to high RPM operation . I'm looking into Triumph's T100/120 line . Thanks
The cyclist were not three wide you are looking from behind and they are not exactly directly behind each other ,they are two abreast in pairs and the on coming lane is empty soon enough to make your overtake. Great video I am thinking about a Vulcan . I also cycle and drive a car.
Hey, which is the better bike for someone 6'2 and 230lbs + for commuting to work and some highway and freeway riding, Kawasaki Vulcan S or the Yamaha Bolt R-Spec?
isaac88ig The Vulcan S has Ergo Fit so the dealership can adjust it to fit a tall or short rider. The Bolt is just a Japanese Harley Sportster and not nearly as fun to ride.
hey bro, i was looking for sportster 883 iron or yamaha bolt. my friend told me about this bike and for sure im gonna buy this one. great review. top notch!!!
LOL! Very entertaining this one was! :) That car you were looking at... Looks like a 1955 Ferrari 750 Monza Spyder (pity we couldn't see the front though...) but it almost sounds like it might just be a replica because those cars as EXTREMELY rare and EXTREMELY expensive! But nice find....
Ramy Mesiha Honda phantom is heavy, i struggled with it. it was intimidating as a very first bike and it does not have ABS. if i had to do it again i would go for rebel or Vulcan S
Out of all the bikes ive ridden, The Vulcan S is my favorite! Its great to learn on but, if you're an experienced rider, you can ride the absolute shit out of this thing
+Robert Czaplicki Any chance you can elaborate? Indians are even rarer than Harleys in Europe, so I'll settle for a TH-cam comment explanation instead of a test ride.
+4675636b596f755954 I consider the scout a cross between sport bike and cruiser hence sport cruiser. It has a modern liquid cooled engine unlike the air cooled bigger Indians so you can rev the throttle high in low gears. 100hp and easy to ride. Fun bike! I hope they become more available in Europe soon.
Fun video! the mirrors look like elephant ears they should've copied the Harley Davidson mirrors. I hate the sound of scraping pegs and ground clearance is an issue. However it's a cool bike great style good quality
Definitely the vulcan s. Why? Although gas mileage is alittle bit better on the rebel ( isn't that much different, ) the vulcan s is much more comfortable. The rebel 300 and 500 have the exact same leg/stance, and UNLESS your leg inseam is 28 inches or shorter..You're going to be cramped. I know I am on my rebel 300 ( 32 inch leg inseam here.,.,5 foot 9) That vulcan s ( as of at least the 2016 or 2017 model) has adjustable handlebars and front peg/rearbrake/gear selector assemblies ( they can move some front and back..) which REALLY makes that bike very applicable to a variety of people sizes. Also, the seat on the vulcan is MUCH better and the vulcan s has a FAR better display assembly with more stuff ( as of either 2016 or 2017..it also has a gear indicator)
Yep, same engine as in the ninja and versys, just tuned for some more cruiser-like characteristics. The true successor to yesterday's Vulcan 500 (which used the ninja 500 engine in a similar manner).
I really love this bike it's a SPORTS CRUISER people Its not a cruiser like Indian scout, triamph etc So it will sound smooth and silent but not all people like that Bcoz they having sound issues A new category
+zuhair areed I got this as my first bike ever no experience whatsoever in two wheels well just riding bike this motorcycle is really forgiving smooth throttle, light and fun I already put 300 miles in mine and I just had it for 4 days
Fuck yeah, with a ninja/versys 1000 engine tuned in the same way as the 650 was tuned for this-- but this bike was aimed at the beginners, too, you gotta keep in mind That'd be bloody excellent man, there's fair demand for it but I don't think it'll happen because of their big line of touring bikes and other lines already
How does this compare to the Honda CTX700? I'm debating between them for my next motorcycle. I'm mostly looking for comfort and commuting (currently ride an R6).
"HiIIII, grhm, Hi..."
So glad you left that in.
Hey man, your easy command of English, and the beautiful countryside that you rode the Vulcan through made viewing this video an absolute pleasure. I am riding my Royal Enfield Continental GT on equally beautiful roads in the South West of England, but I'm looking for a little more sophistication. Thanks to your video, I shall almost certainly buy a Vulcan S Cafe next week. Ride safe my good friend.
F*ing Road cyclists 🚴♂️
Been following this channel for a few years now. By far this one has the best scenery I have ever seen. Absolutely beautiful town!
I've been watching videos of the Vulcan for a while now before actually buying one 2 days ago. Your video helped me get a good idea of what I was trying to buy. To add...I have never been on a motorcycle until 2 days ago and I'm already comfortable with shifting, the throttle, as well as leaning and balancing. Granted I spent about 6 hours each day practicing those days, but great beginner bike for sure. If you treat this bike right and are careful, this bike will totally love you back. I absolutely love mine.
Oh yeah, plenty of power for me. I can honestly say I am still gunshy with the amount of torque and power. After several weeks now, I have noticed that I need to add a windshield to cut down on the wind. I get up to 40mph and it affects handling.
Bear42o1 so what is your feedback a year after owning the Vulcan s? I’m getting mine in few weeks (sea cargo and still waiting)
How do you have a licence without ever been on a bike?
I have 2 of them. I'm just in love the Vulcan S as a easy cruiser.
That voice crack lolololololol
+HawkEyeMonkey killed me! :D
+HawkEyeMonkey "Haaa... Hi! I am Cager on 2 Wheels and today my voice isn't working properly!"
Lmfao
lovely ahahahah
really want an Indian Scout Sixty...but this bike is more in my price range...enjoyed the review
And same here XD My choices have came down to either an Indian Scout Sixty or a Kawasaki Vulcan S...and I don't think I can justify a Scout Sixty in terms of cost, but the Vulcan S seems like a really nice bike. I figure, I get my Vulcan S pay it off, have it for a while, if I still find myself going "but I want the Scout Sixty", then use the Vulcan S as a deposit. But, the Vulcan S is still a really nice bike, so who knows, I may not end up doing that.
Same here...
Saaame... And to be honest this one is also out of my budget but whatever!
I thought I was the only one!🤦♀️
I'm not gonna lie. I prefer the vulcan over the indian.
Beautiful area to test the Kawasaki Vulcan 650. I little too much traffic. You are correct. It is a cruiser not an adventure bike. Put a windshield, fog lights and panniers and you are set for a weekend adventure! I'd love to see the style of mirrors you suggest.

Thanks man keep up the good work :)
A cruiser with sporty pretensions? Just what I always wanted! Ride safe, Cager.
I wanna try one out so bad! It's a proper modern cruiser, which doesn't try to go back in time but rather show the future.. I like the looks a lot! =)
I think that vintage sports car was a Jaguar Model D. I had a toy car like that once. Nice! I am still waiting for the comments on the brakes, gear change, clutch feel, dashboard, vibration, leg comfort, etc.

Thanks Cager. I was unaware of this model, but it's definitely worth taking a look at. I mid-size cruiser with a lot of style. I like it.

You crack me up, I love your reviews. My wife just bought this bike. Well, the blue 2016 Vulcan S ABS SE 650.

I heard people are buying booster plug to fix that

Is there any after-market solution for the low pegs (and I guess the brake and shifter)? Your lean scraped pegs very early, even to MY eyes.
Good review Cager what about the Honda vt 750 as a comparison.
The Vulcan S , at least the ones in the last few years , do not easily scrap pegs and that's takin corners sharper and faster than most any other cruiser.

I just bought a 2015 with 200km on it, I LOVE it
Wouldn't a longer stroke 850 be nice in this frame, motor, and everything else? Maybe it would only add a few lbs and still be at about 500 lbs, and have a bit more torque.
Put a whole new, decated, exhaust system on if legal where you live .
Cager, thanks for taking the time to do these reviews.
If you had to chose between this and the Honda CTX 700 DCT, what would be your choice? trying to decide and need a push one way or the other lol.
Cager, could you please show, how you have mounted the camera and the micro? thanks.
If it wasn't for that depressing 180 crank parallel twin sound I'd probably get one of these. I'm coming from an MT07 and looking for something a bit more chill but it's hard to part with the 270 crank twin sound.
Nice review sir.. How about the throttle response in all rev range? Is it accurate and smooth?
I am falling in love with this bike
I want one
I enjoyed the use of "Spirited" and might I suggest the use of "Brisk"? It has overtones of making progress in an Aston Martin DB5 at 03.00 from a casino in Monaco... Ooh! I forgot, "Crisp" for describing exhaust notes :) Love your stuff Mate!
You can adjust the footpegs Cager!
Nice Bike... So cool to drive... Wish to have one someday...
I wonder if you can swap out the headlight to something round and less styliszed
Portugal looks a lot like Southern California Great weather.
Onde posso comprar uns autocolantes Cager?
Great review Cager, nice all round bike. Tho personally, I could not live with the lack of ground clearance.
Looking forward to your next review.
Cheers from Canada.
tons of finesse on this bike. awsome
How does this compare to the Honda NC 700 in terms of overall engine performance and handling??
I read a tons of reviews, did few test drives and had firmly decided to buy this bike. But eventually decided to test a few alternatives before the purchase. Then I test drove NC750x and it was so much more comfortable that I bought Honda instead and never looked back.

The Honda NC750x is a different [style] motorcycle. No comparison with Kawasaki Vulcan 650 S.
cool comparison, bro, touring enduro with cruiser. Next time tell us how you compared scooter with super sport or apple with banana.
hi cager, congrat x review..by The Way, where were u rinding along The cost... marvellous sight.. were u on The Way To cascais? ciao
A very nice review as usual. Just wondering where the hell were you driving? The coastline is absolutely gorgeous!
The cyclist were not three wide you are looking from behind and they are not exactly directly behind each other ,they are two abreast in pairs and the on coming lane is empty soon enough to make your overtake. Great video I am thinking about a Vulcan . I also cycle and drive a car.
Was the a Ferrari 250 GTO? 😮

Scenary is amazing, where is this?
It's Portugal, I believe :)
What a beautiful looking country
Don't really like cruisers, but i'd ride this.
More of a hybrid build IMO,
Great review,how tall are you and how much do you weigh?
I own a virago 250 (you know which one) and was looking to upgrade to the vulcan S. You've answered my question. Abraço =)
Stuck between this and the rebel 500 as a commuter/cruiser (I normally ride trail bikes)... Any thoughts on the comparison?
CagerOnTwoWheels thanks for the response! I've been leaning toward the rebel for that very reason... It just looks all day-every day comfortable
Check out the meteor 350 by Royal infield if you don't have to do highways -the bike will easily do 70 on the flats
how well would that motorcycle run on long trips on the freeway
Say cager, isnt this the same place from where you took the BN302 to play? :D!
hey bro, i was looking for sportster 883 iron or yamaha bolt. my friend told me about this bike and for sure im gonna buy this one. great review. top notch!!!
Could you do a test review on the new Z800?
Plz Do a Drive on KTM Duke 2016 Im planing to by 1, I know you did one already but plz do a another 1
Seems to be a nice bike.A bit to revvy for a cruiser though. on a cruiser you want torque = more CC.
Can we change the suspension settings for better suspension
Does anyone know what area he is riding in ?
What area are you in? Its beautiful!
I'd like to see you test ride a Ninja 650 and compare it to your XJ6
what city is this? its beauitiful
LOL! Very entertaining this one was! :)
That car you were looking at...
Looks like a 1955 Ferrari 750 Monza Spyder (pity we couldn't see the front though...) but it almost sounds like it might just be a replica because those cars as EXTREMELY rare and EXTREMELY expensive!
But nice find....
Complimentary thumbs up before watching.
@Cager What jacket are you wearing?
What is your most favorite bike that you ever test ridden?
Is it also comfortable for passenger ?
It's beautiful and the mirrors are too
Kawasaki Vulcan S 650 or Honda Phantom 750, or Honda Rebel 500?! For first time entry level rider?!
Ramy Mesiha Honda phantom is heavy, i struggled with it. it was intimidating as a very first bike and it does not have ABS. if i had to do it again i would go for rebel or Vulcan S
I'm in the same situation right now... I would get the Vulcan but they only have white which is ugly to me. Phantom might be my choice
Out of all the bikes ive ridden, The Vulcan S is my favorite! Its great to learn on but, if you're an experienced rider, you can ride the absolute shit out of this thing
You have to try an Indian scout. It will change your perspective about cruisers.
+Robert Czaplicki Any chance you can elaborate? Indians are even rarer than Harleys in Europe, so I'll settle for a TH-cam comment explanation instead of a test ride.
+4675636b596f755954 I consider the scout a cross between sport bike and cruiser hence sport cruiser. It has a modern liquid cooled engine unlike the air cooled bigger Indians so you can rev the throttle high in low gears. 100hp and easy to ride. Fun bike! I hope they become more available in Europe soon.
What part or Portugal are you?
You do great reviews man
Anyone else enjoying the view more than the bike?
No, equal maybe , but not more..I love bikes.
Nice video good explained and very good camera
What country are you in?
where was this filmed looks nice
Portugal
Fun video! the mirrors look like elephant ears they should've copied the Harley Davidson mirrors. I hate the sound of scraping pegs and ground clearance is an issue. However it's a cool bike great style good quality
THis or honda rebel 500? new to riding, only car-driving experience
Definitely the vulcan s. Why? Although gas mileage is alittle bit better on the rebel ( isn't that much different, ) the vulcan s is much more comfortable.
The rebel 300 and 500 have the exact same leg/stance, and UNLESS your leg inseam is 28 inches or shorter..You're going to be cramped. I know I am on my rebel 300 ( 32 inch leg inseam here.,.,5 foot 9)

Also, the seat on the vulcan is MUCH better and the vulcan s has a FAR better display assembly with more stuff ( as of either 2016 or 2017..it also has a gear indicator)
wonder if its the same twin thats in my 2013 ninja 650.
Yep, same engine as in the ninja and versys, just tuned for some more cruiser-like characteristics.
The true successor to yesterday's Vulcan 500 (which used the ninja 500 engine in a similar manner).
EVERYTHING IS SOOOOO PRETTTYYY PRETTY
I really love this bike it's a SPORTS CRUISER people
Its not a cruiser like Indian scout, triamph etc
So it will sound smooth and silent but not all people like that Bcoz they having sound issues
A new category
Great video mate, Tossing up between the Volcan S, Iron 883 and Superlow 883. Thanks for the good info :)
suzuki boulevard is a 650 chopper right?
+Jorgyto Games if you dont want a harley , like the vulcan
Would you recommend this bike to a person who have no expires what so ever ?
Keep up the good work bro
i will do what you said and thanks buddy\
+zuhair areed I got this as my first bike ever no experience whatsoever in two wheels well just riding bike this motorcycle is really forgiving smooth throttle, light and fun I already put 300 miles in mine and I just had it for 4 days
+ciriusblackinfernal thanks for the advise buddy, i will try it
what a beautiful country
Very pretty but in my opinion it needs more power, if they made a Vulcan S1000 or S1300 version I would probably sell my R6 and get one of those.
Fuck yeah, with a ninja/versys 1000 engine tuned in the same way as the 650 was tuned for this-- but this bike was aimed at the beginners, too, you gotta keep in mind
That'd be bloody excellent man, there's fair demand for it but I don't think it'll happen because of their big line of touring bikes and other lines already
Great review man
hahahahahah the voice crak hahahahahahahahah made lol
Awesome video, thanks!
please test the Harley Street 750.:)
why whyo do most riders filter when they cant at times.please so conserdrations at times
I like the mirrors. I hate the seat. Ride it for an hour and you'll agree.
Only 61 HP for some countries.
The Vulcan S or Yamaha XV950 racer?
Sam On A Bike - Sweden Vulcan S, definitely.
something else is cracked ??
How does this compare to the Honda CTX700? I'm debating between them for my next motorcycle. I'm mostly looking for comfort and commuting (currently ride an R6).
I was wondering the same thing.
