The Kawasaki Vulcan S has been on sale since 2015 as a light cruiser. Instead of the classic V-twin formula, Kawasaki uses the 649cc parallel-twin from the ER-6 and Versys with revised cams, a smaller airbox and a tuned exhaust for more low-rpm pull. Output sits at 45 kW (61 hp) and around 63 Nm of torque. The long-wheelbase, low-seat (705 mm) cruiser stance contrasts with the brand's Z-model DNA, but the Ergo-Fit system lets dealers adjust handlebar, footpegs and seat to suit rider height.
The Vulcan S targets newer riders and cruiser fans who do not want to wrestle a 280 kg V-twin. Its 235 kg weight and low centre of gravity make it manoeuvrable in town, and the 14-litre tank is just enough for around 250 km between fills. Long-distance touring needs accessories, wind protection and luggage are not standard, though Cafe and Tourer packages exist. Direct rivals include the Honda Rebel 500, Yamaha Bolt and Harley-Davidson Street 750. A 35 kW A2-licence version is available.
Check the clutch slave cylinder for leaks; this ER-6-derived part is a known weak point after 30,000-50,000 km.
Inspect the chrome around the headlight and exhaust for pitting; cruiser chrome is prone to road salt damage.
Verify the rear monoshock (hidden under the seat) is not sagging or weeping oil; it is an awkward service item often overlooked.
Test that the Ergo-Fit adjustments (seat, bars, pegs) are correctly set for the current rider.
Look for hairline cracks in the footpeg brackets if the bike has been ridden two-up; the long rear frame is only modestly braced for heavier loads.
