presentation of the 650 VULCAN S Sport 2018

On the one hand, there's American-style custom, with huge engines approaching 2 liters in displacement. This segment is so closely tied to manufacturers on the other side of the Atlantic that Japanese and European brands have given up the fight (in our country).
Then there's light custom, where the battle is still on, with the CMX 500, the 750 Street, the V7, and one of the most sparkling, the 650 Vulcan S.

maneuverable, homogeneous, with a sound chassis and body, and powered by the right caliber for its size, Kawasaki custom bikes are sure to please. And its cheeky side is refreshing, with its engine and chassis derived from the ER-6 roadster.
You'll soon feel like playing the rebel. And a little more, if you like the scent of metal in your mouth and ears. A twin needs to belch, more or less richly. With the Sport package fitted to the Vulcan, the engine's voice is unleashed. The throttle blows through a complete line by Arrow. Made entirely from stainless steel, then finished with a carbon tip, it boasts a 40% weight saving and up to 10% extra power. Not to mention a more gratifying melody.

for style rather than protection, a smoked Café-style bubble adds presence to the bow, making the 650 Vulcan S Sport a little cheekier. An add-on that can also be added to the Special Edition.
