Pros and Cons in comparison

Moto Morini Calibro 2024

Moto Morini Calibro 2024

With the Calibro, Moto Morini is (re)entering the cruiser market. Despite noticeable vibrations, the slightly more powerful engine ensures appropriate performance, which neither the simple suspension nor the single-plate brake system can put you in trouble. Ergonomically, the Calibro manages the feat of fitting a really wide range of potential buyers thanks to its unique customisation options. The workmanship and the materials used make the cruiser with its chic looks an interesting addition to the segment.

Kawasaki Vulcan S 2015

Kawasaki Vulcan S 2015

The Vulcan S is reinvigorating the "small" mid-size cruiser scene - not only because of its unique design, but also because it is so easy to ride and is aimed at beginners. The low seat height and the narrow saddle help the rider to stand securely on the ground, while the low centre of gravity also makes for easy and safe handling. The engine also fits in well with the uncomplicated appearance, can be revved up decently from 2000 rpm and only stops at around 10,000 rpm - something that has never been seen before in a cruiser. The "Ergo-Fit" system, which varies the seat height, the rider's distance from the handlebars and the footrests, costs extra but also allows the Vulcan S owner generous customisation options.

Rev-happy engine that also behaves well in the lower rev range

decent brake with ABS

idiosyncratic look

narrow and therefore manoeuvrable 160 rear tyre

Ergo-Fit system for optimum adaptation to the rider

sufficiently comfortable chassis.

Ergo-Fit system costs extra

moderate wind protection

gear indicator only available as an option
