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). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 705 mm (27.8 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1 mm (0 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
