#VulcanS #Cafe #srkcycles
I'm seventy years old and have been riding since 1964 and I'd love to have a Vulcan S. You can have a lot more fun on a smaller light weught bike than you can ever have on a large heavy weight bike. As long as the smaller bike has the right powerplant, and the Kwasaki Vulcan S has it.
“Tuck in low to get from cafe to cafe” had me rolling. Too funny!
Thank god yu fixed that mirror i was itching to comment
Same here...3:16 save us...
One of the most underrated bikes out there. SO MUCH FUN! It seriously is a Ninja in a cruiser disguise. I may just have to get one.
Took a long time for you to grow on me man, but you are humble and I appreciate your channel. Thanks!
Went and looked at one today. Went to look at the Ninja 650 and this caught my eye. It was a Matte Olive Drab and Black colorway. It was super comfortable to sit on and, I felt stretched out and relaxed. I'm 6' 1" 220 and this bike felt right to me. Now I don't know which I want because I also really love the Ninja. I had to leave to think it over.
Take what you like.
This and the ninja are completly different.
Vulcan is a relaxed ride. Imagine yourself riding your sofa. You need to be careful when turning like all cruisers.
Ninja is an aggressive ride. The complete opposite.
Not to ruin your fun and not sure what your state your from so it can vary. But, for me you can get a ticket for doing a launch for excessive acceleration. It’s roughly a $125 dollar ticket.
The gear indicator is on ones 2017 and newer, on a 2016 and older you have to buy it as an accessory
just bought a 2022 model and a vulcan 900 as well love em both would highly recommend either one for new riders. im 5'9" roughly and have no issues on either one comes down to which engine noise you prefer that day
I know this came out last year, but the Vulcan's max torque is at 6600 RPM and max horsepower is at 8000. I don't know if that helps for 0-60 times.
The worst thing about this bike is that it seems to be aimed at new riders.
They need to make a larger version for us oldies
The only mistake Kawi made with this bike is that is sounds pathetic. Otherwise, it is a great bike. IMHO. BTW, I don't see how this bike could possibly go sub 3s. Not gonna happen. Fun to try though.
Has anyone owned a Vulcan S as a first bike? I'm shopping cruisers & was considering it as an option...
I WANT THIS AS MY FIRST BIKE!!!
Same, u get one yet?
@@borismcgillicutty3042 nah, just got back working due to covid
@@lucianmoon7755 Me too, hope 2021 works out better, good luck mate.
The Vulcan s is 500 lbs so it’s not light for a 650 cc bike. The ninja 650 is 80 lbs lighter and I am not sure where the weight went to. Still the Vulcan s has a very unique look for a cruiser.
So I’m new, Do you recommend this starting that or the Honda Rebel 500?
I test rode the Rebel, liked it a lot around town but not so much at 60+mph.
Then I rode the Vulcan, liked it just as much around town and it's so much more capable when cruising at speed.
Recommend the Vulcan unless all you do is city riding.
Google says 4.2 sec to 60 and you got 4.3, not bad.
I wish this bike sounded better
How many times has this been posted?
Looking at bikes...thoughts on Kawasak 650 s, Honda rebel 500 or Yamaha bolt?
Vulcan for sure. I rode the Rebel during my motorcycle certification class and it was really comfortable but felt like it was lacking power with the 500cc engine. I do have the Vulcan myself and it is a bike I don't see myself outgrowing for sometime after riding 3 years.
Between vulcan and rebel ? Vulcan hands on by far. That extra 150cc gives a huge difference especially on highways.
Something else the Vulcan S comes with - from the factory , is functioning signal lights.🤦♂️
Dude, you're always doing 0 to 60 pulls
Shop I used to work at out of the Midwest had a price tag on a used one of these of almost $6k.
Still sitting there.
Edit - not saying it is a bad bike by any means - just don't get fooled Riders. They picked it up for about $1.5k.
AMEN AEN AMEN.
650 is big to me...I am under 5.6
Try a grom
Bro...top speed of that kawasaki vulcan s?
Rizal Saidin, about 106 mph. It’s not fast, but it’s quick.
Joe J awesome bro and awesome bike
190ish kmph
Rallyn Fernandes tq bro...i like this bike...hope 1 day...i can afford it😂😂😂
118.

Repent and be born again 🙏🏻
Vulcan S is a Cafe? BWahahahahaha...
Bud. Please take your time and effort when editing. You start off clearly telling us you're going to show us the bike, then instantly the direction changes to you riding it. If you are going to continue publishing videos, please take the time and effort to do it with diligence and not disregard.

Fix the mirrors before you start riding them and make sure they have fuel in them before going out the driveway. It doesn't matter what you say Sean...there is not replacement for displacement...get over it already. You cannot advertise an in town 650 for a big Highway Cruiser, that is just false advertisement. Camera is on the wrong settings and the video is blurry and have a typical salesman giving his worthless opinions. I would never buy from this outfit. Every auction bike they buy is just the best thing on the road, ya right. Plus he calls himself a Christian and doesn't even know what that entails to be Born Again Jesus' Narrow way. Oh now it's a cafe bike when earlier it was a cruiser, just like comparing it to cars is like comparing apples to asparagus. Whatever Sean, ramble on.
This guy posts on about every video. I’ve seen his videos with his “sermons” and he seems like a cult leader to me. Video looks fine. Never says it’s a big highway cruiser but says it rides decently down the highway. If you have such a bad opinion of the guy then don’t watch his videos. You’re just a troll... So what the dude isn’t a mechanic. Hardly anyone is nowadays. Lay off and go prepare the kool-aid for your next “sermon”. Maybe go to seminary while your at it too.
@@krp-xe3hw exactly. When he mentioned the cafe rider and the cruiser tag for this bike it's because there's two editions of it.
Im gonna be a first time rider and bike owner. I was looking at the honda shadow 400 or 600 in hopes of turning it into a bobber. I learned of this bike from your videos. Now I'm leaning towards the Vulcan S. Thx for the vids.
Dear Sean, you're video was the reason why I chose the Vulcan S. One of the best choices I've made. Thanks mate. Cheers!
I also tested the Vulcan S last year and then ordered one. Among other reasons because of his videos. It arrives in March. I am experiencing the longest winter of my life.
@@OregonFlunder47 great choice mate. Hope you have tons of fun.
@@OregonFlunder47 What year did you order? What color?
@@coryCuc 2020 the one with gold stripes
How is on the highway, I travel 40km each day for work
I’m one of those people who bought a Vulcan S because of your videos! I didn’t know anything about them before I saw your videos, I almost went with a Honda Rebel 500 instead. Thanks for showing me the way! 😂
I love ❤ my Vulcan s man! Plenty of torque.
Heck yeah man! Much more fun then the rebel. The 650 parallel twin from kawi is a really great motor
Greetings from Cyprus. Same here, I ordered my vulcan s black matt with some extras (arrow exhaust, wind deflector) before Christmas because of your videos. Cant wait to have it and tour the coastal and mountainous roads of Cyprus. I am expiriencing a long winter too! Happy new year 2020 !!!
Hello e years ago can you update please?
Hah, I literally just got home from buying a Vulcan S because of Sean, and the first thing I see when I open my RUclips is this video.
If there was ever a sign it was meant to be, this is it
There’s a 3rd section of riders out there because there are those that are now 70 ish and they’ve ridden all the muscle bikes and super speed machines out there, but now just want to keep on biking on something that’s not going to give them a hernia when they have to manoeuvre it backwards up a slope or find the fastest thing to break the sound barrier because most of us older bikers have done that in the past 50 years, most now just want something that they can ride out with there mate but have a good enough turn of speed for the odd week end away travelling on duel carriage ways and motorways
Do you ever have fuel when u make a video lol
Probably from all the fun he had before remembering he got on the bike to make a vid lol
Same thing used car dealers do. Leave the fuel almost empty for the test drivers. I dont blame them. Gas is expensive (not rn) but u know what i mean
iR8SHT Also bad to let the gas sit in the bike if it doesn’t sell.
iR8SHT I’m saying gas them up as he needs to . He knows he is making a video out a damn gallon of gas in it . Running them dry actually messes them up . Fuel pump . If it’s an old bike and had carbs it messes them and the ports up . A 2 dollar gallon of gas could save hundred of dollars as well as stop making u look like a fool when he makes these videos .
Thanks for the first video of 2020. Great bike. Happy New Year to all the bikers out there. Regards, Bob M. South Wales
This is a 2017 Vulcan S cafe
It’s not just for entry level. I’ve been riding for 45 years and riding my 840lb cruiser around town sucks. Now I have a small around town bike and I’ll keep it for ever.
A moped ?
I love the words of wisdom in the vids! I've been going through a rough time and they help so much. Plus I love the bike vids too 😅
Hope things are on the up brother, keep the faith
If it's light , fast and reliable, cheap to own, what else do you want?
It's also comfortable, nimble, looks good and breaks the mold.
I love your videos starting with Scriptures :)
This is my first & current bike thanks to you sean helped me make my decision on buying a bike with ur videos and i love it!
Seriously guys this is like the third or fourth time you've posted the same video??
Robert Bush
Just like craigslist, you have to repost the ad to have it show (and since they are trying to sell the motorcycle...)
@@Rick_Sanchez_C137_ Maybe time to unsub him.
@@timohansson3674 doesn't help when you serch Vulcan S and srk takes up the first few results.
So they have a few videos on the same bike, who gives a shit?
Pat W not a few vids of the same bike, it’s the same video with a different title
for those that purchased this bike, do you still have it and still like it? I bought a Rebel 500 BEFORE I even knew about this bike. I am still intrigued with it and may trade the Rebel in.
I got 1900 miles on my 2022 & I absolutely LOVE that Machine. I love how confident it makes you feel on the Highway. 18 Wheelers don't stand a chance against the Vulcan S!
A 125-400cc more like an entry level. A 650cc is more intermediate especially with the added weight. Just like clothes and shoe sizes are increasing so are horsepower on smaller bikes vs years past. For best 0-60 you must speed shift.
I would be interested to see a W800 cafe'/classic review if you guys ever get one
I'm 1 minute in and I can't stop looking at the mirror. Please for the love of god....fix it.
😂😂
I did actually buy mine because of your videos. I have years of experience on Harley’s, sports bikes, cafe racers. This little bike kicks major ass.
Thank you, that mirror was really buggin me.
Im in the market for a bike. I like this bike. Im torn tho, i also like the sv650 and the fz07.
I'm interested to know what you choose and how you feel afterward. I'm considering all of those as well as the z400 and cb500r
I ended up buying a 2020 sv 650
@@ericjudd9603 what pushed you in the direction of the SV
Omeed Rezaian it was affordable. Plus i liked the riding position.
An interesting comparison would be the ninja 650 vs the Vulcan 650s.
Great video dude. I'm considering buying a 2019 as my daily commuter in the city. What do you think? Is it up for the task or the suspension is not that comfortable?
FYI, the gear indicator is only built in on the 2017 and newer. The 2015 and 16 it was an add-on.
I think this is a repost.... 😉
I agree, I remember watching this one 4-5 months ago
God's word is eternal!
@@painterboy454 AMEN!!! 🙏🙏🙏
@@painterboy454 Lets not turn it into holy wars ;D I have an answer but I dont want to start THAT conversation
@@Imortist, that's so nice of you!!! You know what they say, if you don't have something nice to say then say nothing at all.😉
I'm a re-entry rider after a 20 year dry spell , so I'm a little nervous, but I've owned about 10 bikes in the past. I was in my twenties then and now I have arthritis in my left knee so I am worried I won't be able to hold myself up on a bigger bike like a Vulcan 900 Classic, at the same time I don't want to outgrow this bike if I'm going to spend thousands.
Been on bikes since 1965 ,rode practically alls sizes n style,s .So in 2018 I bought a 650 cafe , I ride two up mostly and use it upto and around 80mph max. This bike is the best without any doubt n this includes my GTR 1400 n many others. Ride safe .Z.
Love my Vulcan S! ABS works great as well. Saved my ass a time or two
Umm... just got it because of you...
I knew a sub 3 sec 0-60 was only possible in Kilometers......
I am only 13 year old but when i Turn 18 i want to do the motorcycle driving license and then buy the Kawasaki Vulcan s
Thank you Sean for putting your time into many Vulcan S videos! I pick mine up today!
Happy new year guys 🎆
Cool vid buddy, ride safe 🤜🤛
I got it because of your channel. I saw it at a bike dealership but I knew nothing about it so I looked it up and found your channel
I'm learning towards that for my son's first bike, 6 speed abs! Liquid cooled! That's a no brainer!
Had to fast forward the video to see if you fixed the mirror. It was driving me crazy the first half of the video! 🤣
torn between the rebel 500, vulcan s, vulcan 900 classic
Top speed is 113 mph
1:34 "i dont normaly do this" lol yeah right XD
Yep, sounds like a Kawasaki 650 twin 🤭 dack dack dack dack tick tick tick tick
I knew you weren’t getting a 3 second 0 to 60. My 2022 Z900 only does a 3 second.
Can't Beat Any Of These Bike's. Especially for the Cash. I love my little Little 86 Ltd 454 ,That twin Sings. .6speed Is Great . 70mph at 2k rpm. Happy New year 🎉. Hopefully Another Bike to
My 2020 Vulcan s straight from the dealer. 5k rpm at 70 mph 6th gear.
Add another to the list who bought one based on your vid.
I was 99 percent sure this was gonna be my first bike, ended up with an Indian Scout instead. Kawasaki was way more confortable though.
I’m exactly between these two bikes as well for my first bike. Any regrets on the scout ? (Aside from comfort)
Started with a verse? Instant sub!
2020! So far all reposts..
Who reviews a bike and doesn’t actually show the bike?
So what you're saying is that I should trade my 2016 vulcan s in for the cafe?
Yes
I bought a 2021 vulcan s cafe because of your videos. Unfortunately as a first bike it was definitely fast enough and handles awesome but it left me yearning for that v twin rumble and sound. My wife fell in love with it so i let her have it and bought myself a Yamaha Raider but wrecked it one week later 😢 . Insurance totaled the raider and i bought a Suzuki boulevard C109RT and its an absolute MONSTER. Please do a test drive and review of The C109RT. You have done lots with the M109R but none with its Big brother C109R.
That's me. Get to 70 as Fast as I can"A Pa Pull" . After that i run Outta Steam at 100 .
About time you fixed that mirror lol happy new year guys
Guys im 5'6 and 120LBS and i have a yamaha nmax 155(scooter) and i have been riding a motorcycle for a year now. Is it a good idea for me to move to a kawasaki vulcan?
Most practical and indicative power test is back shift till yah can red line at 30/40 and run it out to 75 /80..or whatever your tolerance for potential speeding tickets is .. the power that counts is the sudden hard jump. Not the standing clutch dump. Let’s be honest most giggle time happens with buds, suddenly doing a quick dash or jumping around a looky Lou string of cages. From 45/50.
All I did was type in "Vulcan S" and this video was one of the first that popped up even though it's from almost a year ago! I'm over here shifting up at 3-4k rpms on my Vulcan S when I can get up to speed so much faster and shift at around 6-7k??? Thanks!!!! I'm a new rider who just purchased a 2020 Vulcan S and am still learning!
Hi everyone...
I have a huge doubt for my first bike:
Kawasaki Vulcan S 2019 with 7tkm with Falcon exaust for 6500€ or
Suzuki Boulevard m50 (intruder m800) 2008 with 20tkm with Vance&Hines for 4500€
Soo, the newer one with good brakes (ABS), really young one, low milleage, more power and speed or older one with little bit worst brakes, more mileage, from my point of view better sport classic musscle look, niiice V-twin sound, less power and less money...
Sean, I would be very honored to hear your opinion. Everyone, Thanks on any advice.
Its just what you prefer more, you need to go sit/test ride them both, but in the end its just what you prefer more from a bike. For me, vulcan s is really cool concept but i prefer big v-twins for mutch nicer sound than vulcan s (in my opinion) and low end torque for cruising, i am not one of those who just wants to ring out the sh*t out of bike. But that is just my humble opinion, my next bike will be suzuki m109r
It's weird seeing a video and recognizing you're driving through my neighborhood lol. Then going to turkey hill on 283 and I think state road.
What’s w the whole invisible man in the Sky BS. Stick to bike related topics instead of proselytizing, that will be more relevant to ur channel. Sheesh
I don't understand why Kawasaki didn't release a true cafe racer 650cc!!?? With the looks of a Thruxton but with the 650 Ninja motor. I'd buy one in a second.
I’m looking at the rebel 500 and Vulcan S for my second bike. I’ve got a z125 because with the gas prices and the fact that most of my riding is around town, it made more sense
The vulcan s is on two different fastest 0-60 cruiser lists. They say 4.2 seconds. 15th and 17th place on the different lists. Not bad for a 650cc. I have allot of fun on mine and get compliments every time I ride.
I recently discovered the Vulcan S and now i really want one. I drove some bike over the years while not having a permit so i ride like i stole it but now, older age. i tend to be more careful and civilized so i got a permit class A (Europe, Romania class permit for bikes) and try to buy one.
I dont't care about 0-60 or top speed statistics not on car nor on bikes. I feel them irelevant and missguiding. The parts between 40 and 100 kph are what matters. When you enter some highway and you need stability and predictive power there is where the engine must show its true value.
To wrap it up, thank you for your ride and thoughts and hope for a full walk around review. :)
Cheers and safe oards out there!
I just got myself one yesterday as my first bike on your recommendation and I couldn't be happier with it, so far I've put about 25 miles on it going up and down my 1/4 mile road
You didn’t show any pictures of the bike. Also there is not really a man in the sky that grants wishes. 😆
I was looking for a couple of weeks at Harleys, Indians, triumph I wanted a cruiser saw the vulcan and fell in love. It's amazing
What’s up with the preaching of ancient myths? 😅
Muslim spotted
been there with running out of fuel.
Just picked up a 2015 in bright green today!. Rode for about an hour coming home. Getting used to the forward placement of the foot pegs, but it performed very well. The size is perfect. It certainly has the acceleration I was missing in my 250. My only gripe at all is seat. It's the mid-reach, but it kept sliding me forward, creating chafing and pressure on the area just under my jewels. Looks like I might need to check in to the extended-reach seat. Anybody here have experience with that?
I can’t find the information anywhere. The CAFE doesn’t come with a KQR windscreen kit? Or is it the normal kit?
”handle the power” like 2,8 seconds 🤣🤣👏🏻
Love your Chanel and watched everything on Vulcan and Boulevard that you have. In your opinion which is better Vulcan S or Boulevard M50
