Hmm. Yea in vulcan forum there are few post like that. I think I never had the problem but my own mistake in gearing and clutching sure the bike stalled a few. So far all 1st gear engagement went smooth. I do warm up the bike if it's cold start

Hmm. So I have been riding with vulcan s for 7.1k km andso far no problem. RM 20 or 9liter fuel can go 200km or so. With full face modular helmet i can cruiser quite comfortably at 120kmh or 100kmh is more relax because of less wind resistance.

Add: full throttle this thing went 185-187kmh. Can reach 190kmh but the road went short. Fast enough for a cruiser

Before I was offered a guzzi breva 1200 for 20k. The rarity and 1200cc mayhem spooked me really for a first bike. And yes Diavel gave me a good tease but people say no money, no mess with dukahati.

Sometimes I browse the net for my 'dream' upgrade but none really suitable if you're pendek 5'4" like me. Suzuki M90, Victory Octane/Scout Bagger and Harley Breakout 2019 really caught my attention. Perhaps Octane/Scout I can fit in better with reduced reach kit. M90 got the look with water cooled engine and BO is badass. All of them weight more and bigger than my Vulcan S so they're very intimidating as I've sat on an M90 once. I havent seen a Scout/Octane in real life.

I think Vulcan S offered much of what I preferred: water cooled, feet forward cruiser like design, decent lean angle, weight less, made for midget like me, can do 180kmh and great FC 20km++/L.

It's the same like DIavel, a beast or maybe more, 200hp ish.

Yes, Indian scout but I prefer the Octane version of Victory. Not really looking for speed but sometimes wanna cruise at 140-150 with a breathing room for the engine.
