2025 Kawasaki Vulcan S Cafe ABS Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2025 Kawasaki Vulcan S Cafe ABS custom - cruiser motorcycle, Kawasaki pairs a 649 cc engine architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 83.0 x 60.0 mm with a 10.8:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the Vulcan S Cafe ABS measures 228 kg (503 lbs) wet (curb).
