    I had mine Vulcan s for about 11 months 2022 model put 5200 miles on it and loved it. Actually miss it, but that bike was incredible. I did several 4 + hour trips effortlessly on it. Cruised on the highway no problem, just was time to upgrade. Got a 1600 nomad - still a Vulcan and I love it as well. I’ll likely stay with Vulcans forever

    Interesting and ideal for parts the longer just colours change. I've just bought a 2017 model in the UK with ABS. Really love the bike.

    I’m so glad I bought my 2016 used. Outside of the gear indicator, there is nothing different between the very first model (2015) and the 2023. Come on Kawasaki. At least throw an LED light on the bike.

    I paid $7,499 In 2019 for mine brand new, with ABS. I see no price increase over 4 model years. That’s incredible. Actually hurts resale value not that I’ll sell mind. It’s more satisfying to add bikes not sell them. I swear I had at least 5 color choices in 2019 on showroom floor. I purchased mine in Storm Cloud Blue. In my opinion, a very retro color. Unusual. But this model sure looks great in all black I’ve realized.

    I had the storm cloud blue also. Love that color. Prices for ABS models have been increasing I think. $7,899 for 2023.

    I watch a "build" video of the 2021 Vulcan S in white with Royal blue striping on the wheels! I spotted it on TOTW channel-13:41 minutes long. That bike looks fantastic! Now, with all the black coloring, it's fallen off my list of "bikes to be considered"! Doug🏍️🥺🙄😵💔

    KVS compared to the Rebel 1100. Rebel is approx $2150 more brand new but you get bigger displacement and 25 more HP, rider modes, cruise control, ABS standard, a lighter motorcycle. It’s a no brainer. You get so much more by spending an extra $2150.
