Kawasaki Vulcan S | First Ride And Review

bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online

1. I HATE forward foot pegs too !!! Why can't they put them like the Triumph Bonneville.
2. maybe you should of had the pegs moved back for you. you seem to be reaching for the gears.
3. The engine side is no news, this is the same ninja 650, er6n, versys 650 in a different ergonomic package. Interesting though. Kawi is doing everything possible to keep on using that twin.
4. Just picked up one of these today(well, yesterday technically. It's 2:30am now) as my first bike. 35 mile drive to my house and dropped it a half mile from my place(so close!).
   
   Need to master those low speed turns, still a fun bike though.
5. zzzzzzzzzz
6. I'm going to move from the CBR 125 to Vulcan S, it made me laugh hard that people say that the vulcan s does bad on the freeway when I've done thousand of miles on the freeway with my CBR 125 xD I think I'm going to enjoy my freeway rides like nobody else with the vulcan S, bye everyone! ;)
7. Thinkin about getting one , had a 500 Vulcan and the wife and I took long trips on it . I like forward controls , do need a windshield a really good backrest and a tow hitch , set back on the bars and it's good to go for me . A 650 isn't that small , remember when a 650 was a monster ?
8. Great review, especially from someone who rides a similar sized bike as me. The Vulcan S is one of the bikes I am really thinking about upgrading to in the future, and I am definitely looking more into comfort. My Honda CBR 150 has a little more aggressive riding posture compared to the Ninja 300. My back starts to hurt after an hour or two riding it. It's either the Vulcan S or the naked version of the NInja 650 (ER6N) for me in the future. After watching this video, I am definitely torn between my next choice of bikes lol.
9. Nice review as always. I haven't ridden the Vulcan S but I've sat on them a couple of times and they are light like you said. Very well balanced. Plus they are great looking machines.
10. Great video my friend, Love it. Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a blessed week.
11. If you listen closely enough, that bike sounds kind of like your ninja
12. Where's that little track at? I kinda wanna mess around in that.
13. Great review and it's a gorgeous looking bike. Definitely needs an exhaust upgrade to give it a bit more of a beefy sound. I've had the opposite experience where the forward controls go. A cruiser is my first bike and my first time on a sport bike had me feeling all awkward and I really couldn't get used to having my feet slightly behind me.
14. Great review, I don't like the forward controls either! That old 750 Vulcan we had, had tons of torque, loved the pull!
15. What do you think would be best to start on? Sport bike, Crusier, or Supermoto? I've been considering all of these options and I really can't decide what I feel would be the best. I absolutely love sport bikes, but I am not a very confident/crazy person and I worry with the leaning you need to do to take turns that could really screw me over. Supermoto would be nice because once I start riding my dirt bike a supermoto would be a very similar bike that I think I could feel safe on, with experience. Crusier I really have no idea or experience, but they are always out there. Whatever I buy would still be in the 300cc range for my own piece of mind and somewhat cheap. I still have a long while before I ride and my situation is that this will be my first and only vehicle, to school, out of town and all of that.
16. Great review! I cannot believe that people doubt its freeway power. And as always, you slayed the outro :D
17. Hey there Mr. TLR, I just got back from my first day at MSF and I was really weak with the throttle/clutch handling and just riding in general. Any quick tips you can give me before I go back tomorrow? I kept stalling the bike while trying to take off using the friction zone as they were teaching us, and got moved to a scooter that's an automatic, but I really do want to learn how to operate the manuals.
    Thanks! and also thanks for the great videos
18. Got a Ninja 650 3 weeks back(first bike yes i know its to big yada yada but i have previous dirt bike experience and I'm 5'10" the 300 was just too short) and loving it!! Didn't know that the Vulcan had the same engine since its horsepower is much less.... anyway i love your channel and your reviews keep up the awesome work!!!
19. So I was wondering if any of you could help me decide something, I've been thinking about getting my first bike at the beginning of next year, I really like the Honda NC700X because it has DCT and my friend says that makes it 1000x easier to ride, but I'm worried that 700CC's is too much for a beginner, Do you think the DCT out ways the extra CC's in riding difficulty or should I go with a smaller none DCT bike to start out on?
20. I think it's fair to say that Kawasaki makes the best looking bikes ^_^
