Kawasaki Reveals Its 2015 Vulcan S Cruiser

Japanese two-wheeler giant Kawasaki recently launched its Z250 and ER-6N motorcycles in India. It also showcased its much awaited Ninja H2R super bike model with a supercharged engine. Now they have revealed to us their upcoming cruiser bike.

The Japanese manufacturer has christened its cruiser bike the ‘Vulcan S'. It is based on their existing line-up of Ninja 650 and their ER-6N. This will be Kawasaki's entry level cruiser motorcycle across the globe.

Kawasaki's Vulcan S is not like traditional cruisers. It surely looks like one, however, the features and engine layout sets it apart. It features an analogue/digital instrument console, which consists of an analogue tachometer–the rest is digital.

The Vulcan S will be offered with several options like seat, handlebar and foot peg choices. The cruiser motorcycle weighs only 226 kilograms and is a considerably lightweight option. Kawasaki has styled their bike well and have a winner in their corner.
