The Vulcan S (or VN650S to give it its full designation) was introduced in 2015 as a novice-friendly, fairly soft, entry-level cruiser based on Kawasaki?s ER6n (now Z650) roadster.^^And in a world where ?cruiser? traditionally conjures up more historic, authentic American heavyweight V-twins like Harley-Davidson and Indian, it?d be easy to dismiss the lightweight Kawasaki parallel twin as an unconvincing pastiche.^^In truth, however ? and even more so today with the dearth of middleweight cruisers now available ? the Vulcan succeeds as a pleasing, unintimidating and effective slightly laid-back bike in its own right. It?s affordable; it?s low, light, slim and easy to ride; its power delivery and handling are completely intuitive and, although a little basic and ?old school? with an LCD dash and nothing by the way of modern electronics, it has everything a novice cruiser needs. What?s more, if you want a little more in terms of performance promise or practicality, Kawasaki also offer two accessorised versions ? the Performance, with an Arrow pipe and headlamp cowling and the Tourer with leather panniers, touring screen and passenger backrest.^^As long as it?s looked after cosmetically the Vulcan?s a great used buy, too, with proven, understressed mechanicals and plenty of examples available. As a pure pose, the Vulcan may not be, say, a Harley Sportster, but it?s easier and more pleasing to ride and more affordable, too.FIVE REASONS WHY A TEAMMOTO APPROVED USED BIKE IS ABETTER BIKE!***** Up to 3 Year Warranty ***** 2 Day Free Exchange ***** 49 Point Mechanical Inspection ***** Competitive Finance and Insurance packages available ***** Australia Wide Freight?.
