I’m curious- i have the exact same question. I have a Vulcan S, and am considering a sport bike. Did you go for it? What cc did you get?

I am far from a new rider or a beginner. I am 70 years old and have been riding since 1964. I just sold the last Harley I will ever own. I paid $37000 for it and it broke down four times within the first year. So now I want something more dependable. My last nine bikes were all V-Twins and to be honest I am very tired of the chug chug chug of a V-Twin, I checked out the Triumphs and the Royal Enfields. The only one that suited me was the Royal Enfield Clestial Blue SuperMeteor 650, but it rode like an old dump truck. I felt every crack and bump in the road. I think if I were to run over a gnat I would have felt it, I have looked at every motorcycle available right now. The Indian Scout might be alright, but they cost too much. The Kawasaki Vulcan S does the same thing as an Indian Scout and for a lot less money. So I am not a beginner. I am an OLD man but I think the Vulcan S is a good all around motorcycle for anyone who likes to ride. And a bike with some guts to give you a thrill when ever you want to open it up. This being said, I hope to buy a Kawasaki Vulcan S in the very near furture. Who knows, at my age it could be the last bike I ever own.

I have a 2006 Vulcan 500 i just purchased with only 727 miles... I had 3 sports bikes before, all 2002 models. Kawasaki Ninja 500, Suzuki Bandit 600, and Kawasaki ZR-7X 750. The Vulcan 500 has three same 500 twin parallel engine the ninja has. I miss the riding position of the Ninja and how light it was. Oh, and the cornering was sublime!!! Unfortunately, in the Vulcan, i can't stick my knee out and try to lay it deep into a corner like i use to on the Ninja... But, I'm older now and have kids. Anyways, based on what you said... If you can afford it, now or later, keep the Vulcan since they're not making it anymore. Also, look at them like a tool. The Vulcan for a nice comfortable ride to enjoy the scenes and the Ninja for corners and controllability. The Ninjas riding position is only slightly different simply bc of it being smaller and no gas tank truly large enough to have to lay on. However, your arm position is lower and feet slightly back but not much. Try the sports bike and you'll see that the slight difference in seating makes it easier to shift gears and brake while cornering and also seen more forgiving if you go into it a little too fast. I enjoyed your video and you are a cautious rider like i try to be... I've always got my finger on the lights to flick them off it looks like someone's gonna pull out. Considering the last thing you said about the tragedy... I've thought about that and personally find it was easier to control the Ninja in case of a wreck as far as stopping power and maneuverability. Thanks for the video and sorry for such a long comment Lol. BTW what voice system were you using it's really clear?

Exactly the information I was looking for with the bike im planning to buy it just looks so comfortable, what year is yours ?real nice paint btw im looking at a 2015 model i had a dirt bike couple years ago but im looking for my first bike but the vulcan has a good engine 650 perfect for me i think so i dont have to upgrade I see alot people selling 250-500cc but not many 650cc bikes .It has the ninja engine but i like how i can see the break and shift . the ninja looks uncomfortable. Looks very fun thanks again for the content

I'm VULCAN owner too 💪😀🤘

You ride like a man! A cerebral man

So, near your home, you can't slide? Nice theory! A newbie who want to tell others about bikes... 😢😢😢

Did you ever figure out an easy way to get that side panel back on? 😅

The mirrors looks a lot better without the rubber around it easy out or back in if you do not like the rubber doesn't do anything or protect anything

Thanks Bud, I'm taking the Vulcan out today, first time ever by myself, when I was younger I drove a Yamaha 1100 so I'm hoping the old cliche stands; literally like riding a bike ..😂

Hey, still alive and kickin?

I also just bought the Vulcan as my first bike, took the riders course a couple weeks ago. Can not wait to feel the freedom on the road.

Did you have to install anything to get the quickshifter or does it come with it ?

What was the name of the scope

I've been thinkning about getting a bike and the Vulcan S is the very one I have my eye on. I've never been on a bike before so I plan to take it easy after some lessons. I'm looking to enjoy the experience, not see if I can obtain Mach Jesus speeds. The opinion of others will no way even matter to me. Grow up and let others be.

Dovetail is common for an air gun find another hobby kook

battery tender does NOT stop charging like you would like-----on at 11v ; off at 12.5 v. It charges forever to destroy the battery. tells you that online and the sale tech's. Its in the the docks to tell you when charging its holding 13.5 charge on your battery. It ruined my Tmax 4150.00 battery. They say overcharged at the shop. So you must have a timer; on /ff once a week to disable it completely. NOT at all happy when i have to plug it into a once a week; ON.

lucky to get more than a year out of a battery in Asia.

Great video, im 53, just got my licenses, and my first bike last April, I've put a little over 17,000 miles on my 09 Vulcan 500cc, and I'm craving a Vulcan 650s somthin bad now, hopefully around tax season this next year ill be able to swing one!! I ride every single day I can, usually at least 65 to 70 miles. Ride on fellos!!

Thanks here in Uk 🇬🇧 just passed my mod 2 looking at these..🥂

Bryan, at 57 now and a follower of Christ for the past 40 years, I have wanted my MC endorsement in the worst way! I'm the "baby" of my family and still am treated like it. I had fight to get into college and earn my degree(at 47 and my degree at 50 years of age). I intend to take "continuing education" courses to improve my skills set. My family has lost out on my accomplishments because of their games. This MC endorsement is important to me that I can't let them know it's happening, and, when I get my MC endorsement-to boot! Doug

question don't you need like special sensors to quick shift? I seen it online for like 250-300? Can vulcan just do it?

Does she vibrate a lot at 5000 rpm and above? And she is stock standard? (no sprocket\gearing changes)

What was cost for this ?

Hi do you still use this with quickshifter ? Is it possible to also use it with downshifting with automaticly without manual ? and Do you think is it faster on 0-100 while using quickshifting have you done 0-100 vid ?

I practice in school parking lots when I’m riding on weekends.

I believe some markets have the slipper clutch on the Vulcan s. I originally thought it had it as well, but maybe not the US.

Wish your channel would get bigger. It deserves it. These videos are great for new riders. Some of the most thought out topics and explanations.

There is no con to ABS. Tired of clowns even claiming that. It's just guys ragging on safety features...nothing more. Bikes should be standard with that.

Never owned a street motorcycle but I have really been looking into it and I think I'm either going to get the vulcan or the yamaha r3

Lovely looking homes and good instructions. ...

I just bought a Vulcan for my first bike. Waiting to take possession in a couple weeks but I can honestly say I’m certainly going to be a grandpa. Just for the love of the ride

That really grinds my gears

I can't seem to find that connection on mine 🤷

Maybe you should have shown how to remove the seat. Most vids don't show this.

20 im buying it for 120

Thanks for your video. It worked on my Vulcan S.

Did you have any experience riding prior to purchasing this Vulcan S other than the new rider class?

Can't wait to get my vulcan S. This will be my first bike to.

Nice video. This is a bike I want to get for my first vehicle. Most videos are reviews and a lot of pointing and talking. I wanted to see it go for a ride. So thank you

Gotta get a Two Brothers Exhaust

Hi Bryan and Merry Christmas - I know this video is 7 months old, and you have not posted a video in awhile. I hope everything is okay with you and yours. But I do have a couple of questions, if I might. 1) Do you still have your motorcycle? 2) Did you purchase the bike in California? 3) last question - On the shift lever side of the bike is a plastic panel that is taken off by using the ignition key. Under that panel you will see the battery and just to the left of it, is a vertical 4-pin plug. Does this plug have two wires Black with a yellow stripe coming from the top of it?? There is a reason to my question, IF you still have the bike and support this channel.. Thanks in advance...

How to ride a motorcycle? Start with the correct gear.... not the transmission .....As in no uncovered skin and the proper clothing to protect you.

Man that’s beautiful!

Hmmm in your local area so not wearing gear - are the roads different there then ? made of squishy marshmallow or something so they don't take skin off to the bone in seconds.

Thanks for showing us the ride and detailing hwy performance! I can almost smell the pines where you were at!

I have this battery tender since 2017 never had a issue on my 2017 Vulcan S . ✔👍 www.moto-tech.com.au/optimate-4-desulphating-charger-maintainer-v3/

Its a servicable clutch 😉

Looks good is the scope shock proof or resistant to break barrels recoil ?

How is GoPro mount for you? I also have no where to put it on the handle bar except closer to the clutch/mirror area.
