2016 Kawasaki Vulcan S ABS SE/CAFETHE HEART OF A SPORTBIKE, THE COMFORT OF A CLASSIC CRUISER

Typical of the Vulcan lineup, you’ll find a narrow chassis, tapered seat and low seat height so it’s easy to find the ground even for the shorties among us. In the new-for-2016 category, the Vulcan S Café sports a bullet fairing and comes in matte colors, while the Vulcan S SE offers you a metallic two-tone colorway.



I’ll say this for Kawasaki, they certainly bent over backwards to make the Vulcan S family accessible to the broadest range of body types possible. The Ergo-Fit concept allows the rider to change the size and shape of the rider triangle. You can add the short-reach handlebars to bring your hands closer to your body, use the reduced-reach or the extended-reach saddle with gel inserts to move your hips fore or aft, and move the footpegs forward or back one inch to tweak your foot position and amount of leg stretch.



With this many options available, most riders should be able to tailor fit the bike for a perfect fit. The engineers — bless their hearts — even made the hand levers adjustable, so whether you have dainty little hands, or great-big meathooks, you should be able to find a configuration that works for you.



Incorporating cruiser styling with sportbike performance, the Vulcans has features such as a 3.7-gallon teardrop fuel tank, a distinctive front inverted triangular headlight, LED taillight and black-out mirrors to compliment the black-out frame and muffler.
