Motorcycle specifications Kawasaki 650 VULCAN S Special Edition 2018 Custom de teenagers
presentation of the 650 VULCAN S Special Edition 2018
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. It's all about style. The Special Edition has been bathed in orange lava, coating the tank, radiator scoops and mudguards. The fun factor is reinforced by orange Stripe-type stripes scattered around the machine. It's a shame that the colorful spring of yesteryear is not back... The amorto allowed itself a well-thought-out, cheeky wink.
if you're looking for a little more customization as standard, you can also opt for the Café version. The differences are highlighted by the addition of a small windscreen.
