Kawasaki India rides in Harley Street 750 rivaling 2020 Vulcan S at ₹5.79 lakh
- The Kawasaki Vulcan S BS 6 will be available in a new Metallic Flat Raw Graystone colour scheme.
Kawasaki has launched the new Vulcan S BS 6 in India at ₹5,79,000 (ex-showroom). In the latest avatar, the Vulcan S has become ₹29,100 more expensive than the BS 4 model it replaces. With the addition of Vulcan S, Kawasaki's 650 cc range is now complete and its entire 650 cc lineup now complies with the BS 6 emission norms.
The Vulcan S now gets a new paint scheme as well as a BS 6-compliant engine. Save for these updates, the rest of the motorcycle remains the same. The bike employs a 650 cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine. For the record, it is the same engine that powers the Kawasaki Versys 650 and the last-gen Ninja 650 and ER6n bikes. In Vulcan S, it has been used in a slightly different state of tune. It churns out 61 PS of maximum power at 7,500 rpm and 63 Nm of peak torque at 6,600 rpm. The transmission option include a 6-speed gearbox.

The new Vulcan S tips the scale at 226 kg (kerb weight) and its fuel tank capacity has been rated at 14 litres.
