Q. HOW IS THE OVERALL PERFORMANCE OF THIS BIKE - Vulcan S?

There’s no question on its performance as its well refined Engine is the same as the one in the acclaimed Ninja 650 ( but tuned differently for a Cruiser). Power and Torque are more than enough for touring. It has reasonably good maneuverability for city riding even though its heaviness and long turning radius can be felt at times. Suspension isn’t great and lower ground clearance is a real pain around speed bumps. If you’re looking for an ‘Entry level Premium Cruiser’ for long highway rides and non-peak hour City commutes, this is perhaps the best available option among Street 750 and Aquila 650.

By performance, if you mean acceleration and top speed, it is great. The engine is refined, the gear up and down shifts are both smooth and precise and the braking is excellent.

I would rate it 4 out of 5. Overall an awesome bike which is very nimble to maneuver. The reduced rating is for the poor ground clearance with stock exhaust.
