2015 Kawasaki Vulcan S Extended Reach Motorcycle Review
I had been wanting to try this guy out since seeing the introduction last year, excited to see how the new tech and design would feel on the road. It was another good example of how paper stats don’t always translate to what you might expect on a ride, so always test ride before buying. Overall, it has potential. Certainly the variable dimentioning parts do a wonderful job, covering small to tall riders very well. It had some minor issues that I’m sure will be addressed in an upcoming version but no big deal breakers if you are looking for a sporty naked cruiser, whatever that is 😉

You weren't using your blinkers…
very very informative review. this could be my very first cruiser as it fits my budget. thank you Sir.
I think the more quiet a bike is, the better service you do to society. lol
that fps cure my cancer.
Hi guys I''m the proud (lady) owner of one of these girls. at 1.61m tall I can assure you that it is a comfortable fit for the Vertically challenged. I have added a screen to it . Have taken her up to 159k/h, and she still had more to give. I'm really happy and would recommend
it. Good ride at a more than reasonable price.
That bike looks sweet.
had one for a year now done just over 3000 miles for pleasure , great bike loads of power easy handling cheap insurance
by the way 5 foot 5 very easy to handle
could you point in the right direction for a bike, I have a 30 inch inseam and I'm looking for a nice looking bike to ride mainly from state to state with a full cargo load, what do you suggest?
why isnt it as easy for a motorcycle to find neutral as its in acar
Those roads … cruiser heaven.
My dream motorcycle…
hi, i am 5 foot 8'" ands 170 pounds. do you think i will suffer with that rear suspension issue with this bike?
I love my Vulcan s
I went trough some videos and mainly they recommend to get Yamaha R3 or Honda CBR300 for very first time rider. Would you recommend this or Vulcan 2016 for first time rider? tnx
why did they stop making the 1600 mean strike ?
hello sir. what camera and audio device do you use. greets.
Cafe that machine, should help cut the glare on the instruments
Very informative for people curious about bikes, so far Vulcan is my favorite style looking bike but I'm thinking I want something smaller to learn on and something that maybe is easier to tell when you shift.
All the controls and gear lever and brake are adjustable i have the Vulcan s and my shifter is a lot lower than i see in these youtube videos its comfortable .
Been thinking about buying a bike specifically this Vulcan as my first bike.
john smith I recommend going to the motorscycle website
Not trying to be a troll but isn't the Vulcan actually truly the entry level cruiser? It's the cheapest one they sell….$7000 for a 2017 non-abs….
im looking for a first time bike how much do these run
"this is a little brother of an Indian Scout" i love that sentences, thank you very much for this review, now i`m going for a Vulcan S. Greetings.
Awesome video, just the soft core porn intro music could be better.
good review !!!! not sure if I want one our not !!!! good my heart set on a triumph speed master !!!!!
I wish they would make a 800cc model.
Did you find out if you can adjust the suspension?
Did your bike have the special seat you get if you choose the "tall" fitting? I was really looking forward on a comfortable seat
What is the MPG on this bike, how far can you ride on a tank?
They whent from a beautifull bike to… this. I hate the new vulcan look. It's not a cruiser anymore.
doing research on a 17 kvs wit abs , thanks for the info
What's your favorite motorcycle? We are about the same height and weight.
If you had to live with this bike or the Yamaha Bolt; which would you personally chose?
I'm in Clearwater, where do they hold Kawasaki demo rides at?
Great review as always. Going to buy me one of those. Easy to ride, nimble and peppy.
Vulcan S vs Rebel 500 i can't decide
Great work. Like the ride an d bike. You did a good honest job as reviewer. I mean not so positive like a salesman or negative like a critic. You followed the in between line. Anyway I am not sure where you ride, but those roads looks so beautiful. Last but not least that young lady who is riding that sports-bike has skills. 🙂
That nintendo theme remix intro music lol
im stuck between the vulcan s or the bolt r-spec… youve done a review on a regular bolt and this vulcan, which would you prefer?
