Colours shown may not be available in Canada.
This is the cafe racer version of the Vulcan S. It's the same as the cruiser version, but has a bikini fairing mounted on the handlebars, and costs you $300 extra. Otherwise, you get the same parallel twin engine, and the rest of the package is the same.
