Well, after like more than 3k km riding my Vulcan S:

1. Reached speed 170kmh without a windshield but really it's not comfortable at that speed.

2. can go like 250km with a full tank of 8+ worth of petrol but highly recommend to fill up around 200km mark.

3. With custom exhaust on and LS2 FF370 helmet XXL size you need a good earplug.

4. It can lean but I wont dare more as this thing is a cruiser.

5. Have yet to enter service but I already have a Motul 7100 fully syn in mind. So too the cost to renew the bike's insurance not until September I will know. Estimated around RM700. (please correct me if i'm wrong)

This im not sure since I hardly pay attention to rpm meter, prolly around 4k. The road is busy nowadays can't really pay attention to the numbers and I'd rather enjoy the scenery cruising.

from utube vids, but not very clear, its round 6k, online review also mention its a bit higher for vulcan s.

It's close to 5k rpm in 6th. Well, I have yet to test this myself but it's kinda dangerous thing to do. I dont even have a dashcam.

cos its the same engine used on er6f er6n versys650 z650 .... biggrin.gif

mostly when ppl wana ride cruiser, they want the low rpm feel with torque..

hp n torque peak early at low rpm,,, that kinda layback feel...

this cannot be achieved in vulcanS or honda rebel... even virago535 also rev too high...

vulcanS new Rebel500 all sound same like normal inline2.. ppl might get bored... biggrin.gif

one reason y old v twin cruiser like virago535, honda shadow, dragstar is still expensive today.... ( cos they can sound abit close to a harley,,, biggrin.gif )



this is old honda rebel 450, 360 firing order...




883 sound

So in order to get that true cruiser engine feel you must only get Harley and Indian?

Not even Guzzis and Triumphs and Diavel?

new indian high rev punya la... biggrin.gif

they donwana be harley so they make it rev high.. more power..

it all depends on what u want la, u wan rev high high etc etc...

all depends on ur citarasa.... bikes hv different specs...

just that nowadays affordable bike like vulcanS, rebel.. they mostly stay the same...

yamaha bolt dont rev high.. it is like a 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.

for those tht dont like cruiser riding position biggrin.gif

this is a bolt on kit by Mr Martini...

not that difficult to mod...

Wonder how are cruiser sales doing in view that bike companies are fast adapting their cruisers and even other bikes for cafe racer use. Cases in point, the Bolt which has become Bolt Spec C and the XSR which was an MT09 I think. Even Harley has cafe racer versions of the Sportster and Street 750 became Street Rod. Truimph of course always had cafe racer styled bikes...

i think vulcan S is doing pretty good, kawa did a good job bout the price,


the other "affordable" cruiser is naza cruise. a real v-twin, but not a cruiser v twin engine... biggrin.gif
