Kawasaki Vulcan S 20152015 Kawasaki Vulcan S specifications, pictures, reviews and rating |
| Kawasaki's profilation of this bike |
| Vulcan S, not your average cruiser. Standing apart, with its Parallel Twin engine, unique frame and suspension layout and designed for independent minded riders, Vulcan S does not require the rider to conform to some “herd-mentality”, outdated fashion or lifestyle. Accessible in all senses of the word, the accommodating new Vulcan S encourages you to go Your Way! |
