Kawasaki Vulcan S vs Indian Scout Comparison

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.

The Indian Scout offers a compact, low-slung, beautifully designed cruiser that is a definite head turner. Straight line stability is solid, and even around corners the bike maintains composure. Only in slower speeds, the suspension feels a little stiff. For a weekend companion, and for a leisurely outing in the open road, the INdian Scout could be a good companion, but stay away from traffic!
