【New Model Bike】Kawasaki "Vulcan S" 2027 model! New color with a price of 1,056,000 yen
Weekend touring. While it's nice to cruise leisurely, sometimes you want to enjoy a sporty ride as well. The Kawasaki "Vulcan S" fulfills the whims of such adults.
Breaking the shell of a cruiser sports mindset
The Kawasaki "VULCAN S" is now available in a new color, adding flair to urban life. Let's take a look at the new color & graphics and the model's features.
At the heart of the "VULCAN S" is the 649cc liquid-cooled parallel twin engine from the sports model "Ninja" series. Contrary to the gentle ride one might expect from a relaxed riding position, it harbors powerful performance.
While it firmly secures the reliable torque in the low to mid-speed range required of cruisers, it also offers a sporty nature that revs smoothly to high RPMs when the throttle is opened. You can experience a thrilling acceleration sensation in various everyday scenes, turning commuting itself into the ultimate activity.

Lightness that handles smoothly from city streets to winding roads
Despite its heavy and low-long appearance, it is characterized by a slim and lightweight chassis. In addition to the good footing provided by the low seat height, the low center of gravity of the body design makes maneuvering in parking lots and U-turns surprisingly easy.
From the congested urban streets to the twisty roads with steep ups and downs for weekend getaways, the stress-free mobility makes it feel larger than life. The ease of handling that lightens your spirit with each ride is truly reliable as a daily companion.

Optimize the position to fit your physique
The bike is designed to maximize its potential by fitting the rider perfectly. Therefore, the "Vulcan S" features Kawasaki's unique "Ergo-Fit" system, allowing adjustments to the riding position according to each rider's physique.
In addition to the front and rear adjustable steps that come standard, you can finely adjust the position by combining optional accessories such as handlebars and seats. This reduces the strain on your neck, back, and arms, resulting in a significantly different level of fatigue. It feels as if you are wearing a custom-made suit, allowing you to experience a deep sense of unity with your beloved motorcycle as a unique ride.

A perfect fit for the adult garage! Original styling
The "Vulcan S" is not only about performance but also about looks that cannot be overlooked. With its distinctive triangular headlights, teardrop-shaped fuel tank, and compactly positioned exhaust at the engine's lower part, the modern and sleek design reflects Kawasaki's unique aesthetic.
On a holiday morning, just gazing at that beautiful silhouette standing in the garage is enough to bring a sense of satisfaction. Its original details, unlike any other cruiser, elevate the mood for weekend touring even further.
