Vulcan S (EN650, 2015-current): what changes by year
Only what our guide ties to model years: the versions, recalls and faults that name years. It's not a ranking of years.
2015-current
Version
649cc parallel twin (LAMS): LAMS, ABS, 35kW @ 6600rpm.
2022-current
Version
649cc parallel twin (Full Power): not LAMS, ABS, 45kW @ 7500rpm.
Most faults in the guide depend on mileage and how a bike was kept, not its model year; those are in the full guide and the checklist. Across all years, our guide rates this generation a Top pick.
