Kawasaki Vulcan S Sport 2018 — Specifications

On one hand, there’s the American-style custom, with enormous engines approaching 2 liters of displacement. A domain so ingrained with transatlantic manufacturers that Japanese and European brands have abandoned the fight (here). And then there’s the lightweight custom, where the battle is still open, with CMX 500, 750 Street, V7, and one of the most lively, the 650 Vulcan S.

Maneuverable, homogeneous, healthy in chassis and body, powered with the right caliber for its size, the Kawasaki custom will please its audience. And its impudent side is refreshing, with its engine and cycle parts derived from the ER-6 roadster. You’ll quickly want to play the rebel. And even a little more if you like the scent of metal in your mouth and ears. A twin, it must belch, rich or lean. With the Sport pack mounted on the Vulcan, here’s how to unleash the voice of the engine. Exhaust gases flow into a complete line signed Arrow. Made entirely of stainless steel and finished with a carbon tip, it announces a 40% weight gain and would offer up to 10% additional horsepower. Not to mention the more gratifying melody.

For style more than for protection, a smoked Café-style screen gives more presence to the bow. With these two elements, the 650 Vulcan S Sport wants to be a little more insolent. An add-on that can also be added to the Special Edition.
