  • How fast can the Kawasaki Vulcan S go? I take it to Karak, wring the throttle and crouch like Marc Marquez. This is what happened.
    Don't follow me, I'm lost too.

    1983. I was riding from LA to Santa Barbara on the coast freeway 101. I was on my Kawasaki Gpz 750 and my room mate was on his Kz 1000j. We were running 100 mph when we came around a bend and blew past a State Trooper. His lights came on and he was rolling before we even passed him. I downshifted and got ready to pull over. My room mate down shifted and took off! The cop flew past me pursuing my buddy. A mile ahead I could see him taking a curve like a pro rider going at least 140 mph. Cops doing like 100 just hoping he wrecks. I go about 30 miles expecting to see a wreck on the side. I get home and his bike isnt there. I walk inside and hes sitting there. The balls on that guy! laughing with his bike in the living room!

      I was racing a woman in a Maserati on the 101 coast freeway. At 135 mph the skin on my face was flapping like bird wings INSIDE my full face helmet. She waved at me. Shifted. And pulled away! The bike had a little left but I was done.

    Malaysia, Brazil, Thailand, and Indonesia are the countries that are highly packed with really daring and crazy bikers.. size and cc of the bikes wont be any matter but fun and adrenaline are amongst the factors that they are chasing for..sometimes there we can find small cc bikes as small as 125cc two strokes are modified and can be riden as fast as 160-180km/h.. Yes on the public highways..

  • @lianpo6343

    Cruiser aren't as fast as sports bike but it is more on comfort and relax ride. Less of speed but more on torque. You can install up 2 to 3 bags like 1 top box and 2 side bags on a cruiser . That is why prefer cruiser bike

    What country is it? The bikers are riding and changing the lanes with such a high speed and without indicating and what is even worse, without protective gear!
    To me it is a suicide race. I am not impressed I am concerned.

    Was used to normal naked bike riding position and wanted to try this amazing looking vulcan s, but unsure if the riding position is comfortable for long distance and cornering especially the leg placing forward instead of bending inwards. Any thoughts?

  • @deanbrien9195
    @deanbrien9195 6 лет назад +1

    Love this bike, I have hit 175kph straight road, I had an unusual idea at speed, I used the passenger pegs so i can lay forward
    on the tank no wind issue then HAHAHA, obviously not the smartest idea, but the bike seems well weighted for me 80K 5.6.
    and it was fun :)

    • @kennee
      @kennee  6 лет назад

      Dean Brien Thanks for watching. That's what I did too, feet on the rear pegs. Weight seems biased to the rear since this is a cruiser, so it's 130kph max for on average.

      Thanks for watching. In my country, speed limits are rarely followed and traffic enforcement is weak. There's heavily modified superbikes - pipes, obscured number plates and such - doing well beyond 250kmh on highways without reproach.

    • @kennee
      @kennee  6 лет назад

      HumGuitar thanks for watching! I'm in Malaysia. I prefer cruisers too. It keeps me from going too fast all the time. Vulcan S has no problem keeping up with crotch rockets, but not for a sustained period of time. No problems at the straights, just have to slow down at the corners. Cheers!
