Kawasaki Vulcan S

Personal notes

I bought a Vulcan when I got my licence mainly for transitting on the highway for work. I wanted a cruiser style and something large enough to have some presence. This bike delivers that and more. Firstly, it is super approachable and quite easy to ride, even as a beginner. It has great torque and due to that it's easy to avoid stalling as a beginner. It has plenty of power and grunt when needed but can also be ridden very constrained when required. Personally, I think it looks pretty bad ass, without over the top cruiser styling, you can flat foot it easily, it's not obnoxiously loud and it is easy to move as the weight of the bike is down low (not top heavy). My one complaint would be the stock seat is a bit ordinary on long rides, although I've got no complaint for around town riding.
