  • Vulcan S ABS test ride
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jan 16, 2016

    This bike was my first time on a cruiser style bike. Been riding sport tourers. Got to say that the Vulcan was an easy ride, very smooth in all aspects and had a very fast pick up in acceleration. Lovely cornering and smooth ride has made me decide that I am bying this bike...Great fun!!!
