    Powered by a 649cc parallel twin derived from the Ninja 650, the Vulcan S has been retuned for more low-end to mid-range torque, making it perfect for both city riding and longer trips. With 61 horsepower on tap, it's got enough punch to get you through traffic with purpose.
    One of the standout features of the Vulcan S is the Ergofit system, which allows you to adjust the bars, foot pegs, and seat to suit your size and riding style before leaving the showroom. It also boasts a low seat height of just 705mm, making it easy to reach the ground, especially for learner riders.
    Handling is light and nimble thanks to the telescopic front fork, while the offset rear mono-shock with adjustable preload ensures a comfortable ride. The positive neutral finder is another great feature, particularly for new riders.
    Available in both learner-approved and full-power versions, as well as a cafe variant, the Vulcan S comes in a range of colors and has plenty of accessories to choose from. Pugs puts it through its paces on his daily commute and a longer cruise through the Blue Mountains, and the Vulcan S handles it all with ease.
    At just $12,090 AUD ride away, the 2024 Kawasaki Vulcan S 650 is a serious contender in the cruiser market and is sure to be a popular choice among riders of all skill levels.

    I am far from a beginner, I'am seenty years old and have been riding since 1964. I've owned mant motorcycles since then, mistly Japanese models and four Harleys. I just sold the last Harley I will ever own. I paid $37000 for is ans it broke down four ties within the first year.
    I think the Kawasaki Vulcan S is a great motorcycle for any age and any rider, a newbie, experienced, or a seasoned rider like myself. I would buy one today, but my wife is fighting me on the idea of owning another motorcycle at my age. We will see who wins this battle. If I win I will have a Kawaski Vulcan S in the garage very soon. Wish me luck. Ride safely and enjoy every journey.

    ...and slightly the other way...first time bike license after I turned 60 and first bike just before turning 62! And it was a 2019 Vulcan 650...absolutely love it as both my daily commute - when not raining! - but have also done a trip from the 'Gong to Griffith and back for a weekend away! Was great on the highway - even without a windscreen! Love it, and happy to ride it till I can't...Thanks for a great review on the 2024 model.

    Great review! 55 years young here.... I've had many bikes including three VMax's and last one being a Harley over 4 years ago. Been lookin at getting back to it and had narrowed it down to the Vulcan Custom and the the Vulcan S cafe. Love the Indian Scout but too much $$ for the amount of times Ill get out. The 650 is going to be more than enough bike for the ridding I plan on doing and it looks amazing in my opinion.

    Great review on a fantastic bike for all riders new and old. I have had the exact same bike and colour now for a few weeks and it's incredible to ride for a veteran rider as I can imagine a new one would enjoy as well.

    Id be a bigger fan of the ergofit system if it didn't cost so much. I wish it was like some dealers in america where they fit it to you for free.
    Love the bike though.

    It’s ridiculous that the Ergofit costs an extra $650 on top of the price for extended reach. And then what will I do with a brand new standard seat? Also the extended passenger seat is $200 more than a standard passenger seat. Why? It’s smaller. Kawasaki really needs to reconsider this and make the Ergofit system free when you drive out of the showroom.

    Im torn between the vulcan, rebel 500 and shotgun 650. I need a bit of commuting and weekend drives to the country with the missus

      See my comment...this will satisfy for what you want...the Rebel hasnt got the same highway power and pull (IMO)...

    Test rode one of these and have been riding for 60 years. They advertise this bike for beginners. Not true at all. Throttle is to touchy. And way to much power for beginners!

    • @seanbrah93

      I’m a learner rider and grabbed a Vulcan. First time I pulled the throttle I almost shit myself lol

    • @brendandandlisa5567
      @brendandandlisa5567 7 днів тому

      My first bike, and have never had an issue with the power...you should be able to manage it as soon as you get to know your bike, and even in the early days it isnt sports-bike like power, so nowhere near as dangerous as some others for newbies...IMO...
