How's Vulcan for short lady? 5'4 inch tall and skinny amoy....

my GF wishes to ride with me without being a pillion, but dont' want to invest so much on another Barley....

Another bike to aim is Triumph Speed twin.. however its well beyond our budget..
(already have 2 barleys at my stallion)

We'll I'm 5,4 too. This vulcan really is like 200kg bike so it'll take a while to get used to if coming from kapcai like me. About the seating as you can read my post above about installation of reduced reach set then the bike is comfortable at least for me. As you can see those two riders in the video posted here their body lean forward a bit to get that comfort zone so I highly recommend you/her to get the reduced reach package. I think it's a good bike for newbies to cruiser but if she's power addict then haiz buy her H2 lah.

Or if you can find a custom shop ask them to mod the handlebar, seat and pegs to you need and prolly can save more. Oh, don't use motul 300v, motul 7100 or 5100 is fine.

Thanks for the explanation, she grew up in Strong torque V -Twin.. dont think hyperbike and lightning speed is what her aim is...

Can't find any test ride unit around KL.. so yeah only time she climbed into one was a stationary bike.

Short riders will no have issues with the Vulcan S since the seat height is low.

The girl in this video is quite short.  No issues.

Thanks bro...

OK.  I never do long distance ride.  Just KL ride to work.  So i'm more concern about the stop go traffic riding condition in KL.  I find some engine oil cannot take the heat and could hear the engine gets rougher during traffic jams.

I used diesel engine oil for my bike... as long SAE 20W-50 Jalan...

Lower viscosity engine oil than 20W.. make my balls masak..

I wonder those aircooled bikes like Monster will kwan sooi or not during city riding/traffic jam.

Not really bro.. depends... if not moving for longed period of time then yes will burned your bulu... but if you still can cilok.. should be no problem...

I rode 1.2 L air cooled cruiser for commuting each day.. and 88cu aircooled cruiser for weekend getaway...

good thing about Cruisers they easily hide the unecessary chrome/metal weight on the geometry.. so as long you sit on the saddle + low center of gravity.. it should work easily..

Unlike those road bikes (especially the dreaded Z800) that has higher center of gravity and front bias weight distribution..

I only once tried sitting on an SG 2016 at juru showroom. Very intimidating for a short person like me.

Thats one of the lightest Harley Touring bike range (production code FLXXXX) because already undergo the Rushmoore upgrade.

Before 2014, (even worst before change to twin cam FI engine) its heavier and very lousy in the terms of handling..

Back then really interested in harley but when I sit on one, that SG, tip toeing. Not suitable for my height. Asked a brother who rode a 48, he said bergetar nasib baik tak mandul.

Bergetar when idle kot.. up to speed the gegaran gone... unless something wrong with the engine or tayar..

Wah. Imagine the maintenance if using a Harley for daily commutes. 50 % off cars have cheaper maintenance probally? Cars only for wives?

Have you gone to a Official Naza HOG ride before? Maybe even know you I think.

It reduces my blood pressure by avoiding the jam at the same time enjoying the V-Twin pushrod tractor sounds...

Yea I have join their ride since HOG under HMOC during President Choo leadership.. until now when TJ taking over..

PS: HOG ride kinda slow since everyone need to lined up a pair and control the speed..

what tachometer? HD dan mat salleh forgot to put tachometer and even fuel gauge... sampai Kanchanaburi + BKK and Ayutthaya...

Just use the odometer to kira the mileage petrol consumption. (it took me almost 1 year to master it hahaa)

My older bike all got fuel gauge.. but not important as its always shown empty.. (petrol manyak kuat makan)..

Too bad the Bagger all sold out... but to justify still at 120k and above.. quite scary...

When I asked about the Chieftain.. lagi pengsan the price...

However Victory and Indian indeed a better cruiser bike compare to HD, however Victory lost on the Heritage part, that's why Polaris now concentrate on Indian...

shit, why dont Benelli just rename themselves to Cucati, aka Chinese Ducati?

They make an affordable ducati for the masses... rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

On second thought, maybe that is how a cruiser bike from Italy should look like.... same as US where Harley and Indian (previously Victory) copied each other design...

Abuthen.. what about Moto Guzzy? https://www.motoguzzi.com/us_EN/moto/cruiser/MGX-21/MGX-21/


Mind blowing isn't it?

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.
*
Indian scout you mean? .. its very low and long wheelbase 100 horses Liquid cooled. You can see it in Naza PJ...

Vulcan yes good bike for it price vs performance, few of Lyn fellowship biker kaki ride Vulcan and they a frequent cross border riders to take care of their children on the other side..

I like the Honda Rebel 500 but I am afraid if I buy one, I’ll have problems replacing the tires. The rebels have weird 16” rims instead of the more popular 17” rims. That’s the only thing holding me back.

got Michelin Scorcher or Commander 2/3, Bridgestone Battlecruiser H50, Metzeler Marathon 888, Shinko white wall..

I'm not hating on China bike.
But motorcycle should be built though especially on the engine side. But they give low priority on that part and focus on looks.

Because of this every Chinese motorcycle brand got that bad stigma.

That why some of them willing to paid million to buy older brand that not from China. Just to mask that stigma.

If they willing to change for the better then thats good. But if they just want to profit from it. Then they will never succeed.

Agreed, and need to have a good aftersales service.

Many early Thai CKD BMW GS1200 bike before having issue with their rocker cams until need to change the cylinder head casing, but with the strong After sales service the problem did not surface until the consumer branded BMW Motorrad bikes as unreliable.

Plenty of makers from China, from cap ayam home industries until the level their factory churning Quality Tesla parts.

let see how time will tell.
