  • Low-seat height
  • Powerful and refined motor

Cons

  • Dated design
  • Low ground clearance

Verdict

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.

Pros Cons Harley-Davidson Fat Bob

Pros

  • Traditional styling looks great
  • Torquey motor is aggressive
  • Throaty exhaust sounds great

Cons

  • Suspension can feel stiff at times
  • A bit too heavy
  • Instrument console needs more information

Verdict

The Harley-Davidson Fat Bob is the quintessential hot-rod cruiser and it is currently on sale in India. It is a style-statement by itself and can be ridden hard too, if required. The Fat Bob offers ridiculous amounts of torque and shove and can be a decent motorcycle to ride in the city as well but on long, open highways is where it shines the brightest.
