Kawasaki Vulcan S 650cc cruiser bike launched in India for Rs 5.44 lacs
The Kawasaki Vulcan S is powered by the same engine as the Ninja 650, which is the 649cc 8-valve twin-cylinder, fuel injected DOHC liquid-cooled engine housed within its high-tensile steel diamond perimeter frame . It is tuned to produce 61PS of power at 7,000 rpm and 63 Nm of peak torque at 6,600 rpm mated to a 6 speed transmission. The powerful motor enables the motorcycle to have a smooth start from a standstill and offers a satisfying pull while accelerating, facilitating highway merging and passings.
The suspension duties are being handled by the 41mm telescopic fork and the braking by the ABS-ready 300-mm dual piston caliper on the front and 250-mm single piston caliper at the back. With overall dimensions of 2,310 mm x 855 mm x 1090 mm, the Vulcan S has a curb mass of 235kg and carries a 14-liter fuel tank to ensure a decent range on the highway.
Other notable features on the Kawasaki Vulcan S include the inverted triangle headlamp, wide handlebars, digi-analogue instrument pod and a split-seat set-up. There is also the ergonomic custom-fit adjustability feature which provides three configurations to adjust the footpegs, handle and seat for a comfortable riding experience.
At this price point of Rs 5.44 lacs, the Vulcan S will compete with the Harley Davidson Street 750 and the soon to be launched Royal Enfield 650 twins. If you are looking to get one, bookings for the Kawasaki Vulcan S can be done at all Kawasaki showrooms across India. Also, the bike will feature at the upcoming Indian Auto Expo 2018.
