I bought the 2015 vulcan s as my first bike. In 2016 with zero miles. Still have the bike. 12,000 miles and a new rear tire and she still gives me that day 1 feeling. This bike is 6 speed love.

Bought a 2018 VULCAN S a little over a month ago as my first bike. I’m 6’3 @ a fluffy 285 lbs. I absolutely love it. Your video amongst others was one of the large deciding factors in picking it out. It handles very well, is extremely forgiving for a new rider, and has a ton of pep to it for someone after they become comfortable with the basics and want more power. Last Saturday I talked my best bud into picking up a 2019 VULCAN S as well. He gets it in two days. Thank you for all the hard work you and your team do with setting up videos, testing, comparing, editing, and of course the words of wisdom. Keep up the great work, it does not go unnoticed.

Even has the same stance, riding position, external frame work, and drippy headlight. I call mine "mini-rod". Raising a few eyebrows in my Harley community, but they can't lose me, lol!

I put a Dan Moto highwayman exhaust and did the rear Fender delete LED kit from Amazon and it looks amazing not to mention losing about 25lb from the huge steel fender and massive (quiet) stock exhaust . It’s noticeably quicker with just those mods and sounds and looks so much better! This bike has a 6 gears, a digital Speedo with a analog tach, a fuel gauge, and a tool kit under the seat as well. Lots of great stuff for the $6k we paid for it pre owned with 600mi on the clock. Huge back tire and mean black rims..... all in all a bike we will never get rid of and a great first bike for her.

These are great bikes, IMO. Especially if you have a hard time finding a good fit, as these are adjustable for a tailor fit. But if you are on a budget compare the specs to the first generation Kawasaki Vulcan 750. You might be surprised as to how close they are, practically same same. So for $1,500 to $2,500 You could be in the game on a bike that arguably sounds better, and that counts on a cruiser. I'm a huge fan of the VN 750 as they handle incredibly well and I live near Skyline Drive and lots of twisty mountain roads. I went through a lot of cruisers before settling on the VN 750 as best all around middleweight cruiser. But if you have good credit and can afford the payments, and you want a warranty, and modern technology then I agree with Sean the Vulcan S in the video is a great choice.

This is what I wanted as my first bike. Quick, torquey, comfortable, ABS, great looking, what’s not to like. Then after passing my test (a long complicated and expensive process here in UK) got to thinking... did I really put myself through all that, on a 600cc bike, just to ride a 650? Some say you should buy a bike within your limits, I disagree. If you RIDE well within your limits, most bikes are manageable and you can grow into them. It all depends how much you trust your own self control. So I bought the Suzuki M109R, intimidating at first but not that difficult when you get used to the size and weight, and it now feels like part of me. I don’t regret it but something about that Vulcan S is still calling me!!

Saw one of these at the dealership yesterday because I'm looking for my first bike and I fell in love. It's a little higher in price than what I can afford maybe. I think I'll have to go back and see what financing on it is like....

For a new budget cruiser the Vulcan is is a solid bike. But if you want one of the fastest budget bikes of all time you gotta go back to the Vulcan 750. I got an 1986 750 for only $1,000 it's 750cc water cooled V Twin has more power and torque. Even for its age it was an incredible engine with twin over head cams, 4 valves per cylinder and twin spark plugs per cylinder. And it has a 10.5:1 compression ratio. The 750 was one of Kawasaki's best bikes which is why it had such a crazy long run time and they never changed it.

Honda V65 like . I rode a 450 nighthawk for a few years. A now passed friend let me take a spin on his built Dyna. I was honestly not impressed with it. A Suzuki 1700 v twin ( interceptor? ) Savage was the single pumper 650 . I own one of them currently actually. Still I don’t believe I have rode anything as spirited as that 1700 . It was quick and the tach went way hi for a 2 cylinder. It was a fine match of looks sound and would flat out fly! BTW the NightHawk 450 I learned to ride on pavement with was no slouch. 450 cc at 9,000 rpm and a 6th gear was probably to much for a greenhorn. I made due . The Honda v65 magna is probably the fastest cruising bike I have threw my leg across. Want to try a V MAX one day . This little cruiser may sound different than most but I bet it’s very smooth and efficient.

The seat isn't adjustable there are actually three different seat sizes for short, medium and tall riders. You need a different linkage rod on the shifter side to move that foot peg between the three positions. On the brake side there is enough slack in the hydraulic hose to move between the three positions. It's a dynamite bike for the money, the only small complaint I have is that in first gear the throttle is a bit twitchy, still I love mine.

I just came across your channel a couple weeks ago, been an avid long time biker for about 20 years, have had a 2002 and 2004 R6, a 2001 shadow 750 and a 2005 vstar 1100 custom. Thanks for kicking off your videos with scripture, blessed by that. I'm looking into my next potential bike going into next summer, contemplating an iron 883, ideally want around 1,000-1,200cc, but I love the look and colors of the 883s over the 1200s. The 48 has me intrigued though and I'm definitely a fan of the Scout and Scout 60. Thoughts for a guy that's 5'10 and has a good bit or riding behind him? Thanks! 👊🏻🙏🏻☝🏻

Hell yeah. My first bike is a Sportster. Currently on a 2019 Harley Davidson Forty Eight. I originally thought a lot about getting a Breakout next year but in all honesty I'm not that hooked into the rest of the Harley bikes. I love mine and have a lot of fun on it and think they're certainly improved a lot but still... The Harley crowd can sometimes be really cool but also really shitty. I think about getting either a Japanese or European sport bike next.

Question for the channel or the more experienced riders: When I started riding in 1992, I bought a Yamaha Fazer 700cc as my first motorcycle (before that, only a Vespa and other scooter types...) without any formal training, and I immediately realized it was too much; I feel that bike stressed me to the point of selling it, and never riding again. I was young and dumb, and that's what I did. After a few months I sold it, and I haven't been on a bike since then. After all this time, I'm trying to get back into the saddle, with a novice motorcycle class, and a bike size I can enjoy more and feel more comfortable in. Would this be a good bike together into (most likely used...) after taking the new riders class? Or is it still too much...? Thanks for the opinions in advance...👀👍

I've got a request. This bike is good for many sized people. But me being 5'1, I want to eventually get a more powerful bike. I have a Yamaha vstar 650. I'd like something 1300 or larger but it's so hard to find a stronger cruiser for shorter people. Since you have such a vast knowledge, what do you suggest, or can you do a video one day on it? I know there are other vids out there, but they are mostly for 250 to maybe 900 bikes. All beginner bikes. I want one that will help me get an idea on what I can start to look at for when the time comes. Thanks and I really enjoy all your videos. God bless!
