Motorcycle specifications Kawasaki 650 VULCAN S Special Edition 2016 Custom de teenagers
presentation of the 650 VULCAN S Special Edition 2016
Transforming the 650 ER-6 into a custom bike was something to think about and, above all, something to dare to do. The motorcycle world is steeped in classicism, and looks askance at this kind of creation. Except that this machine has a nice little face and some serious appeal. A fun, well-known twin-cylinder, a low seat height, a sound chassis, easy access that will delight novices and a fair price. This is the standard 650 Vulcan S. As with many Kawa models, this custom bike has its own special version. This is the Vulcan S Special Edition.
don't rush to the technical data sheet. Here, it's just a question of style. The Special Edition gains a deep gray paint job with silver-gray cheeks on the tank. The fun factor is reinforced by a green Stripe stripe running the length of the machine, and a few stripes of the same color on the tank and wheels. Needless to say, the shock absorber spring is also all green.
on the other side of the Atlantic, this special series is called Vulcan S Café. The only differences are the addition of a small windscreen and the abandonment of the passenger seat. One more ticket, one selfish move and you'll be able to claim a Vulcan S U.S.A edition.
