    I own a FZ07 and a VStar 950. This so feels like it combines the 2 to make the perfect crossover bike. I just recently got a VStar 1300 and am in the process of selling the 950, but damn, the Vulcan is so sweet. I want!

    OMG, You gave the best review on this Kawasaki Vulcan S. and I have seen a lot of reviews on this particular model. You just made me want this bike really bad. I am a beginner. And unlike cars. You must have a bike that fits. Or you will not have fun on it period. Thank You so much. For this first time ride review. On that note. I will be subscribing to your channel friend.

    Every time I walk into my local Kawasaki dealership I feast my eyes on the Matt Candy Orange Vulcan S 650. In Thailand the bike comes with the pillion seat and ABS as standard

    This bike breaks the stereotype that a good bike has to have 1000+ CCs. I've gone from Harleys to V-Stars, to a Kawi Concours; but this is my next bike, (Spring of '18) and the more simple the bike the more I 'm enjoying them. I'm 5'3".

    My brother bought one at an auction it was left out side for 3 months of Texas heat, rain, and now cold weather, my brother got it to start with out a key and it started right up like nothing. Kawasaki makes some tough bikes

  • @ant.histemi
    @ant.histemi 8 лет назад +1

    I REALLY like this bike, based on everything I've seen and read. It seems like even experienced riders like yourself are impressed with it, but I'd still like to know if it's a bike that you think a newer rider would get "bored" with in time... I've been riding a Rebel 250 for just over a year now, and I'm definitely craving more torque (as well as a better top speed, which the Vulcan S certainly has, and more comfort for freeway use- I definitely want something with enough pep to quickly get me out of the way of idiotic drivers when that need arises. I avoid freeways on my Rebel, and I generally prefer back roads anyway, but I want to at least have the option of confident freeway use with the next bike I get.)
    So, based on your test ride: is this a bike that would likely get boring in a couple of years? Also, with a windshield, do you think this would be comfortable enough for long stretches of freeway riding? Also, maybe I missed it, but was this ride on the ABS-equipped variant (and, if so, what were your thoughts?)

    • @bsaenz1551
      @bsaenz1551 8 лет назад

      I had a ninja 250 before the Vulcan S, and got bored within a day of riding. Now that I've had the Vulcan for almost a year, I wouldn't mind moving up. The bike still performs well, and I'm just now getting into mods, but as a commuter bike, it's perfect. If you're looking for a cross country long distance bike, I would recommend something larger and maybe more established.

  • @miketan2459

  • @ThomasRSmith-og7zo
    @ThomasRSmith-og7zo 7 лет назад

    The bike stock should be set up at the medium setting. The footpegs, and be moved forward or backward by one inch. The seat can be changed to accommodate a smaller or taller rider and the handlebars can be changed as well. You are the only person that said this bike has a good suspension. The rear single shock is pretty weak and if you are over 200 lbs you will feel it. Not sure if that can be changed or if it would be better to go with a different bike if you are over 200 lbs.

  • @1111mort
    @1111mort 7 лет назад

    What do you mean set up for short people? It's adjustable?

    • @sae2705
      @sae2705 6 лет назад

      It'll be their "Ergo-Fit" System. The garage can make adjustments to the pegs, bars and seats prior to purchase to fit around you. Basically, they have an assortment of handle sizes, types of seats and footpeg positions.
      So some set ups can be better for shorter people, some better for taller people. But seems he's got higher footpegs and longer handle bars to suit shorter people.

      More power than a Bolt, or Sportster. Cheaper than both. Higher top speed than both. Quicker 0-60 than both. It's not just a beginner bike, but it is the perfect beginner bike because you won't be upgrading any time soon.

      @TheAK47s  8 лет назад

      +Rockcem1 yes you can. I wore it under my hoodie the entire winter last year. I wore a long sleeve shirt, the armor and a hoodie on top. Bonus points for long johns.
