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).

The Scrambler Desert Sled is near perfect for someone upgrading from a smaller motorcycle, or for someone who wants to get back into motorcycling after a hiatus, or for someone who wants to begin learning how to ride off-road. The Desert Sled does offer a unique proposition, with retro-cool looks, entertaining performance and decent off-road ability. You can use it for the occasional long ride, and certainly do decent off-road riding on it.
