It's been about a month of our ownership, and I feel comfortable offering this about my wife's new 2015 Vulcan S ABS;
It is very easily the best 'right out of the crate' motorcycle I have ever ridden.
The engineering features, the looks, the ride, the feel, the ABS, the fuel injection, and the engine performance..... All are just right.
My wife is thoroughly enjoying riding her Vulcan S, and as she gradually gets her skills and confidence back up (during the engine break-in period) I am confident that this will be the only motorcycle she will ever need or want.
I ride a new Suzuki DR200S, which I bought specifically for the nimble handling, great fuel economy, and the 'commute to work' fun-factor.
But quite honestly, my bike pales in comparison to the Kawasaki.
I have ridden for well over 40 years, and have enjoyed riding and owning motocross bikes, street-trail machines, road bikes, fast bikes, slow bikes, and honestly, a large chunk of everything that Japan has ever produced.
(And no, just for the record, though I have ridden Harley Davidsons, I have never owned one. They are great cruisers, but they never really appealed to me.)
I'm really happy with my choice of the smaller Suzuki enduro bike, don't get me wrong.
But I'm very pleased and proud to have my wife riding and enjoying this excellent Kawasaki Vulcan S.
Two thumbs 'way up, Kawasaki.
You hit it out of the ballpark with this motorcycle!
