I've posted my bike in the Vulcan S 650 subreddit already but not in this one yet. Bought this slightly used 2024 about a month ago as my first bike and I've been loving it so far. I've always wanted a Kawasaki but I never thought I'd end up with THIS kind of Kawasaki until I started actually sitting on bikes and figuring out what worked best for me. She's been a good bike for me so far, fun to learn on and easy to handle. I actually went into the dealer to look at a new Eliminator but felt a bit too cramped sitting on it, and the sales guy said he thought I should try out this used Vulcan S. I got on it and immediately knew it was right for me, and I'm glad I bought used rather than new. The price difference between a new Eliminator (there were no used ones available) and this bike saved me well over $1,000. When I first took my MSF course two years ago I had no idea what bike I'd even end up on though I kind of originally thought I wanted a sport bike. I think this is why it's important to keep an open mind to ALL bike types when you're first starting off because who knows, you might end up on a sport cruiser, and you might love it.
