Honda CB500X vs Kawasaki Vulcan S Comparison

The Honda CB500X is a good touring machine and can take on the rough easily too. It is available in two colours - Matt Gunpowder Black Metallic and Grand Prix Red. The one big gripe that we have is the pricing, which feels exorbitant. Honda CB500X is actually a versatile motorcycle and It is perhaps the best-rounded package in the 500 cc space, but customers will have to be willing to pay the price for it.

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.
