I like that this guy is more neutral when it comes to the types of motorcycle to appreciate unlike Yamienoob who only cares about speed, popping wheelies, and carving corners.

@motoryzen Ай бұрын

Yes yammie Noob is recently entertaining but at the end of the day I'd rather take opinions about bikes from someone more mature possibly equally if not more experienced and actually shows proof that he knows what the hell he's talking about which is precisely What fast Eddie AKA Greg Widmar has done for many years now...indeed

@KonriVTuber Ай бұрын

Yammie's main complaint is most ACTUAL owners' favorite part of the S: It's neither an R6 nor a Fat Boy. Comfy, quick, lightweight, uniquely styled, reliable, and cheap all in one bike

I have the 2015 version of this bike riding for 3 years now. I love it and it’s a great bike for beginners and those that just want a bike to enjoy. Thank you for video.

Hey what's up man... just got my vulcan this year and I love it. I learned so much about riding from your videos man, without this channel I would never have got this bike. Thanks.

The Vulcan is a best bang for your buck that's out there in the medium CC cruiser range. It's incredible versatile & I enjoy the KVS so much I started my channel around it, Mods, rides & upgrades

Finally reviewed my bike, a Vulcan S. I totally agree about the shifter, I sometimes miss the upshift even after 2 years. Puig windshield works great. The stock seat is NOT GOOD. Aside from that, it’s a great bike.

I didn't expect to see this type of video from you especially about the Vulcan! For all new beginners if you are looking at this bike, GO FOR IT. I did and I never looked back

My first bike was the 440 LTD by Kawasaki. 30 years later when I got back into riding, I bought myself the 2019 Vulcan s 650. I'm 5'3" and with customization I can flat foot it. As you said, lots of pep. I ride the highways and can keep up with larger bikes no problem. I did change the exhaust to a Delkevic, as I wasn't fond of the "angry sewing machine" sound. Great Review! Thanks again!!

Would like to hear your review of the Honda Rebel 1100. I have a 23 and would like to know what you notice about it compared to what I have.

I'm not a cruiser guy but this bike always catches my eye at dealerships. Seems like a solid bike for sure.

I Really Loved Watching This Video. I Never Thought you'd make one of the Kawasaki Vulcan S. I am Proud Owner of a Kawasaki Vulcan S first Bike, I love Everything about the Bike. 99.99% of Videos on KZbin are Right on point about it. I couldn't afford the Indian Motorcycle I wanted, but definitely Kawasaki Vulcan was MY Best Option. Thank You so Much 🙏

@villblackberry Ай бұрын

I’ve been getting into bikes over the past month, so I’ve consumed A LOT of content on KZbin. You are hands down the best channel man, thanks for doing what you do. Also I’ve been obsessed with the Vulcan S so I’m saving for that as my first bike. Second hand market in Australia for this model is a ripoff though so I’m going brand new when I have the cash. Dope video as always!

I have a 2015 kawasaki Vulcan S with about 23K on it. I bought it with about 2K as my starter bike. It's light and nimble to begin with. Gave me time to gain confidence. However, it has plenty of power to keep me happy. Maybe I'll upgrade at some point, however I don't really need much more. Maybe a bike with ABS and other safety features.

I bought a new 2023 a year and a half ago. After riding an Indian Scout at Stugis, I put the Indian mini-apes on my Vulcan. It is much more comfortable and vibrates less in the bars. My other bikes are a Victory Crossroads, a KLR, and a Kymco Kpipe.

@AshtheViking Ай бұрын

I love my '24 Vulcan S 650. I bought May 2024 as my first bike. It's a hell of a lot of fun and has great power/speed on the highway (fastest I've gone is 150km/h but it could go faster), really comfortable to ride for hours (dealer upgraded the seat for free). It can sound like an angry sewing machine in first gear but I really don't care.

Only down side is that it’s a chain drive. Not enough light bikes with belt or shaft anymore.

I have the 2020 gold trim version. Love the bike. I get a lot of compliments on it all stock. Wanted something less aggressive that my other bikes but same engine style. Grabbed mine from vey's in El cajon since del amo was out of stock at the time. Less well known so it was cheaper on insurance which is a plus. My pegs are mid level. seems to fit for 6'0 person like myself. I been looking for a good exhaust system since stock is so quiet for my liking. Bothers me that its too quiet when lane splitting. People don't realize you are there. Any recommendations? Wish they had slip ons but need to modify the whole exhaust system.... ugh. I love that everything is super accessible like oil filter when doing work on it. You should have taken the bike into the water park and see how it handles on the rides. lmao

@TheBigMacSpecial Ай бұрын

This motorcycle is awesome. My first cruiser i got, only con, seat is awful. But it has more power than most cruiser in the mid range. I pushed it to 200 (according speedo) it was fun quirky bike. Another thing is if you change the stock exhaust, either get it tune or get the thing where it measure the air intake (i cant remember what it was called, new exhaust make it run rich af)

only thing is i would of kept the bike if it wasnt for a stupid dhl driver running it over in the parking lot while i was working

I had to downgrade from my Fatbob and got a Honda Shadow 750. Had to be the world's slowest most boring motorcycle. Motor sounded like it was going to explode when I hit 70mph In 2 months I got a 2021 Vulcan S 650. This bike has plenty of power and speed and is fun to ride. Took it to 95, the bike was composed and the motor had plenty left.

@jory3589 6 күн бұрын

I got a 2025 ninja 650 for my 1st bike. I love it but after an hr ish of riding my back, arms, and thighs are sore. I still love it but wonder if I would like a cruiser instead because I like long rides. Been looking at the vulcan. I think I'd like a ninja and a vulcan. I don't like that you need to upgrade the stock seat and the headlights tho.

Not just for beginners super cool for us oldies coming down from bigger bikes too. The trend for us older bikers is to downsize due to bike weight, reduced physical strength and mobility, the Vulcan S fixes all these problems but adds real fun!

@trickwheel 21 күн бұрын

when you come from something like CBR where the mirrors are like looking in a bathroom mirror, you will be happy to have these stock ones. Its easy to replace those if that is your only reservation about this bike.
