2023 VULCAN S 650 Special Edition

$14,995

The Vulcan S is not your average cruiser. It stands apart, with its parallel twin engine, unique frame and suspension layout, and it’s low seat height matched with high ground clearance.

Designed for independent-minded riders, it does not require the rider to conform to any heard-mentality fashion or lifestyle. Special attention paid to ensuring high levels of fit and comfort, and confidence in riding make the new Vulcan an attractive option for new riders looking for a stylish, accommodating motorcycle.

Accessible in all senses of the word, with the Vulcan S, riders can come as they are, and just get on and go.

Full-power Vulcan S 650 is LAMS approved in New Zealand.

ERGO-FIT
ERGO-FIT® is an exclusive sizing system that creates the perfect fit for riders of all sizes by offering adjustments to the bike’s seat, footpegs and handlebar to accommodate your height and reach.

Ergo-fit accessories are available to order from your authorised Kawasaki Dealer.

FEATURES

CUSTOM UNDER ENGINE MUFFLER

Attractive bend of the exhaust pipes and an under-engine muffler arrangement contribute to the Vulcan S’s attractive styling. Dual-wall exhaust pipe design gives the header pipes a fatter appearance for a strong image.

LOW CENTRE OF GRAVITY

The Vulcan S’s low weight and low centre of gravity make it highly manoeuvrable, whether riding, paddling in a parking lot, or walking beside the bike.

ABS BRAKING

The compact ABS system provides ample stopping power, while offering easy control for new riders. The compact ABS unit contributes to the lightweight chassis, and is conveniently tucked away under the rear shock, which ensures a slim construction beneath the seat.

SUSPENSION

Telescopic front fork contributes to the bike’s easy-to-control, light and natural handling. Offset laydown single-shock rear suspension is equipped with a linkage to enable a longer stroke for increased ride comfort.

CUSTOM FIT ADJUSTABILITY

The footpeg position is adjustable with three positions available: STD, 25mm forward and 25mm back. Brake and clutch levers can be adjusted to suit the riders hand size and preference. Other accessories are available to further adjust the bike to a custom fit.

Ergo-Fit

TWIN CYLINDER ENGINE

Liquid-cooled, DOHC, 8-valve 649cc Parallel Twin with fuel injection delivers smooth, responsive performance, especially in the low and medium rpm ranges. The Vulcan S offers smooth starts from a standstill, smooth acceleration, and a satisfying pull when accelerating.
