In 2018, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki Vulcan S ABS SE, a cruiser motorcycle with Kawasaki Ergo-fit components that enhanced its versatility and accommodated riders of different shapes and sizes.

The Kawasaki Vulcan S debuted in 2015 and was part of the Vulcan series that debuted in 1984 with the VN700A as their first cruiser motorcycle powered by their first V-twin engine.

In the visual department, the bike had standard features, such as a single headlight unit up front, a wide handlebar, a single seat with a low riding position, an under-belly-mounted exhaust system, and lightweight five double-spoke wheels.

The bike was built around a high tensile diamond steel frame with a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front, offering 129 mm of travel, and an offset lay-down preload adjustable shock absorber on the rear, offering 81 mm of travel.

The bike's wheels were fitted with a 300 mm brake disc coupled to a dual-piston caliper on the front and a 25 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear, delivering excellent stopping power enhanced by an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS).

The 2018 Kawasaki Vulcan S ABS SE had its soul brought to life by a 649cc four-stroke parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine managed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system. As for the power figures, the engine delivered 61 hp at 7,500 rpm and 63 Nm (47 lb-ft) torque at 6,600 rpm.
