    I've just given the ABS a little test in the rain and I was really positively surprised how well it works. It convinced me that every bike today needs ABS.

    Got the ctx700n dct automatic model, it's a fantastic bike rides very smooth and super easy to handle.

    I test rode the Vulcan S, Harley Street 750, and Honda CTX700 with fairing, the non- N version. The Vulcan and CTX feel nearly the same when riding. I liked the looks of the Vulcan more. But having the fairing along with a 2-up seat plus the dealer giving me $1500 off a leftover new 2014 I picked the CTX and have been very pleased with it thus far. The Street 750 rode nice too, but having good luck with Hondas I was too reserved over possible quality issues with the Harley. It was also the most expensive of the three bikes.

    I own a Honda CTX700 DCT and I love it very good bike.

    LOL they said the Kaw won, but the CTX can be had with ABS, DCT, large factory luggage and rear rack, fairing, better MPG and longer travel suspension. The Honda clearly wins as a practical commuter. If you like horsepower you shouldn't be looking at either of these bikes.

      The Vulcan does 0-60 in 4.3 seconds... What other cruiser can do that for less than $8k? Bigger cruisers that perform like that cost triple, weigh double, and handle like a school bus.
      The honda, while engineered and built well, is just too ugly for me. With luggage racks it must look like a sherpa's donkey.

      all that for there stupid manga style they adapt on all there motorcycle's, they are simply incapable to make a nice looking classic style cruiser, even there new rebels look ...unfinished.

    The Vulcan S is a great looking bike. That green color looks cool.

    Do yall think $4500 usd is good for a 2016 Vulcan s abs with 13000 miles?

    I hope Honda listens. Many folks with Honda cruisers are waiting for a classic-styled cruiser like their VTX range or the older Valkyrie cruisers. Honda has gone a tad too-futuristic on their designs and these newer cruiser bikes ain't selling as much as the VTX or Shadow line did. Honda pulled the plug on the Shadow line and has already done so for the VT1300 in all markets except the USA. I think Honda builds excellent machines and the new Valkyrie is a great example of this, but I can't help to compare the classic-cruiser lines of the present Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha cruisers versus the new-age cruiser lines of the Honda cruisers.
    Lots of people want a classic-styled Honda cruiser with current-day features (ABS, powerful brakes, on-point fuel injection). We all know how Honda is capable of doing it. I'm a big fan of Honda and Kawasaki classic cruisers, and it brings a tear to my eye how the classic lines on Honda cruisers have disappeared. I think there's a market for it that Honda can dominate again; the only cruisers nowadays with ABS are the Vulcan 1700 and the VT1300 (Yamaha and Suzuki don't still offer them, not even on their biggest cruisers). The VT1300 has been pointed out as being a low-selling bike unfortunately.
    I'd still test and ride a new Honda cruiser or Kawasaki cruiser. The CTX700 and the Vulcan S look the part and do the part. They're two motorcycles that will satisfy many, but I'm not sure on the Honda CTX selling in the USA as well as the VTX, Shadow or Valkyrie cruisers did in the past. Not even with the younger population who want high-end specs on little bikes (600cc sportbikes being an example of this).
    If Honda built a Honda equivalent of the Kawasaki Vulcan 1700, I'm sure many people would be in! Problem is, then said Honda cruiser would cannibalize the sales of the big elephant in the room: the Goldwing.

    Why can't you pass w/ the Honda by downshifting, or coming out of the twisties by downshifting?

      My 2015 Vulcan s has two bolts on the top of the rear fender. I was able to buy a passenger seat and backrest w sissy bars for it (though I have yet to get around to installing it).
