Ducati Diavel 1260 vs Kawasaki Vulcan S Comparison

The Diavel 1260 S with its updated engine, new chassis and electronics make for a sporty package with solid performance that will have you grinning from ear to ear every time you whack open the throttle. The relaxed ergonomics of a cruiser, enough firepower to scare you silly, and the riding dynamics of a sportbike. That level of versatility is what makes the new Ducati Diavel 1260 very, very appealing.

The Kawasaki Vulcan is a mid-sized cruiser which gets a 649 cc parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine. The motor is tuned to make 60 bhp at 7,500 rpm, and a peak torque of 62.4 Nm at 6,600 rpm, while paired with a 6-speed gearbox. The motorcycle tips the scales at 235 kg and comes with a 14 litres fuel tank. The seat height of the motorcycle is a low 705 mm. It is priced at Rs. 6.10 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). It is a decent option, perhaps one of the few options in the 650 cc cruiser segment.
