Vulcan S story. Total miles riden: 460km, still in breakin.

Just came back from a 76km journey. It has been like 12 years since I last rode a bike for a long trip and boy I really need to be fit because it's quite tiring even after that short distance. 

Power
For me the bike is good enough that in 6th gear you just open the throttle to overtake it'll give you sufficient power to do so. But drop to 5th then the better it gets. I came from a kapcai straight jump to this so the power delivery is of course unheard of eventhough my Honda Hurricane can go up to 120kmh with just carburetor mod. Give it an engine mod then it might play within the legendary Siamese Honda Nova Dash (not our version of honda dash ya) territory. At 650cc it's good enough, more tha enough for me really.

Comfort
Loud exhaust, could be better seating. As I am a short person of 166m only, it gives me quite a few disadvantages like the handle reach although I can operate it I wish that the handle 2 inch closer to me. Gear level is like 1 inch too high so I had to lift my heel onto the peg to comfortably change the gear, if not I have to do it with the tip of my shoe which is not a good position.

The seat left something to be desired so maybe aftermarket parts can do the justice. My hurricane seat is far more comfortable but yea the vibration from a single piston 2 stroke will cancel that comfort. Vulcan s vibrates too at higher rpm but not as bad as my honda. Still if you dont wear gloves then you'll end up with numb hands after a long trip. As for the exhaust, it's loud because of after market AHM brand. Head turns at traffic light. The shock absorbing system is quite hard but I need that in corners. Funny but I can use my body force to sway the bike like it's a small bike. You're swinging 220kg.

FC and capacity
I give it 17km/l. Sometimes it says 27km/l, next 16km/l. When the fuel gauge at E, I had to stand straight the bike to try to squeeze rm20 worth of ron97 but cannot la. Rm 19.17 it's full already. I hardly break 120kmh and rev limited to 4k in 1st-5th gear and 6k in 6th gear. There's eco icon on the lcd screen when I wisely used the throttle.

Handling
OK. I dare not try to 'canai' my pegs but the lean angle is good enough. Of course la not superbike level, this is just a damn cruiser but it gave me a grin already. Brake is good but i have yet to try it in emergency or do the hard breaking stuff yet compared to my honda. Shock damper could be softer but I think I have to trade the hard setup for agility and braking response.

Muka rm3k, monthly rm512. Rm20 weekly for 300km plus minus. That's all for now

Vulcan s got special accessories ergofit where u can adjust the ride according to ur need
