K AWASAKI VULCAN
2019 ISSUE #1
What does it mean to
be a proud owner of a
Kawasaki Vulcan S?
Well, let me tell you!
I STOPPED into Jim Gilbert’s Wheels & Deals PowerSports location one evening after noticing a few motorcycles parked out front that
intrigued me. I had been driving a motorcycle—a Honda Shadow 750cc—for about three years, but I was looking for a change. The first
motorcycle I sat on that evening was the Kawasaki Vulcan S and . . . yes, I was hooked! I could not believe how well it fit me. Being 5’3”,
this was the first motorcycle that I sat on where my first thought was “This is perfect!” I could not believe how light it was, how easy it was
to reach the foot pegs, and how easy it was to sit on the seat and yet have my feet both firmly planted on the ground. And the best part: the
narrow gas tank. This was an issue with my Honda Shadow, which has a wide tank.
"EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS VULCAN S WAS PERFECT, BUT WAS IT? I WAS
TOLD IT WAS A 650CC, BUT MINE WAS A 750CC SO THAT MEANT IT HAD
LESS POWER. BOY, WAS I WRONG! I PURCHASED THE MOTORCYCLE
AND I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY THAT I DID. IT FITS PERFECTLY, I AM
COMFORTABLE HANDLING IT ON TWISTS AND TIGHT TURNS, I HAVE
EXCELLENT CONTROL ON THE CORNERS, THE POWER HAS DEFINITELY
SURPRISED ME, AND I COULDN’T HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER
MOTORCYCLE."
The 2019 Kawasaki Vulcan S is an amazing midrange urban cruiser. Looking at it, your
first thought will be “Will a 650cc engine be able to put out enough power to move the
Vulcan S?” Well my friends, prepare yourself. No other cruiser handles like the Vulcan S.
At a standstill, the handlebars fell very light and easy to turn. While riding, it handles amazingly well, unlike anything you could have
expected. The 2019 Kawasaki Vulcan looks astonishing. If you are into cruisers, it just might be one of your favourite cruiser designs.
