Kawasaki has announced the 2027 model of its mid-class cruiser "Vulcan S" in Europe. It is equipped with an easy-to-handle 649cc parallel twin engine and features ergonomic adjustment functions.

2027 Model Available in Two Color Variations

The Vulcan S is a mid-class cruiser model equipped with a water-cooled DOHC 8-valve 649cc parallel twin engine. It delivers a maximum output of 44.7kW (61PS) and provides smooth, responsive performance in the low to mid-rpm range. The chassis features an under-engine muffler that contributes to a low center of gravity, making it easy to handle.

The suspension uses 18-inch front and 17-inch rear cast wheels, balancing sporty handling with a cruiser style. In addition to a low seat height of 705mm, the footpeg position can be adjusted in three stages using accessories, and the handlebar and seat can be changed to allow for fine-tuning of the riding position to match the rider's physique.
