Is the Kawasaki Vulcan S good for beginners?

The Kawasaki Vulcan S makes 61 hp @ 7500 rpm, so it is more bike than most riders want as a first motorcycle. It can be a great second bike once you have experience, and some markets sell a restricted version.

Is the Kawasaki Vulcan S good for shorter riders?

Often yes. The 705mm seat height is on the lower side, so shorter riders frequently reach the ground with confidence. A low seat or lowering options can help further.

Is the Kawasaki Vulcan S good for touring?

The Kawasaki Vulcan S's 14L tank means more frequent fuel stops on a long trip. It can still tour, but a larger or auxiliary tank helps on big miles.
