As an old rider myself, I never let my boy touch my bike until he got his L. His first time riding big bike is on his first day B Full session, straight ride ER6N.  2 times try the 'titi', then all good to go.  thumbup.gif He got another class to go before the JPJ test.
I do not own Vulcan but my ex office mate do. He commute daily from Shah Alam to Jasin, Melaka for the past 2 years, he was transferred 2 years ago. His Vulcan S a bit beaten up, very high mileage but still in pristine condition. He told me it's okay, but he don't like it when there's heavy traffic jam.
How about Rebel 500?  hmm.gif

hmm rebel 500 seems a bit smaller n for same price vulcan s got higher cc, isnt it more worth the money?

What I heard, Rebel 500 price will be RM32k+++ . Ya, price wise, Vulcan S should be value for money. biggrin.gif It's all depends on one's personal taste in this kind of bike. thumbup.gif sweat.gif

Rebel is smaller and way lighter (188kg vs 225kg). Should be easier to handle for smaller rider like me. whistling.gif I did try my friend's Vulcan S. It's heavy. whistling.gif

My personal opinion, feel that the fuel tank is weird.
A straight line on the bottom of the tank would have been better.

there isnt really much choice for cruiser tht look like rebel 500 or vulcan s within this budget right? what im looking for is something like erm...lets c if i can describe correctly the look of cruiser i like. shorter handlebar, lower seat, not too big and not too slim, tail looks good with one seat only. i think mainly is the handlebar tht seems a bit towards sportbike instead of tall / long like some harley

vulcan S is kawa's gift to riders , by pricing it jz tad below 30K,

tho it is heavy... n not many ppl like cruiser riding position...

used vulcan s can get @ almost 20K now,

with a few K more for modding, can make it be like this.

iinm most of the vulcans I saw come with mid height seat arrangement, i.e. for rider below 6 feet. When I bought mine, the same applies. However, I did get my leg peg adjusted inward to suit my leg position being a smaller rider. The adjustment was done for free. I think the change of seat for ergofit will cost extra though but i m not sure. You can check it out with the kawasaki dealer shop for better understanding of the adjustment.

Egrofit is around rm1200 or so. I have installed them, reduced reach option. Handle bar, seat and gear switch rod.

You can adjust the handlebar angle and brake side controls but gear rod and seat cannot.
