Back to the original but unanswered question. I happen to have a Vulcan S parked in my garage. It's my wife's. She loves it. She was originally attracted to the "ergo-fit" feature because she is 5'4". The bike really fits her well as she got the "small" option. I have ridden it a couple times. I'm 6'1" so it was a bit small for me but I would recommend it for you. It's not your classic cruiser but that's a good thing. It is much lighter (approx. 500 lbs wet), leans further, better engine performance (55 rear wheel hp), think hp to weight ratio) 9500 rpm or so red line, decent midrange torque for such an engine. The engine was actually borrowed from the Ninja 650 but retuned for more midrange torque & less top end. If you seldom exceed 105 mph that shouldn't be a problem. The antilock brakes are also a plus. I can't complain about the price for a brand new bike either. Good luck with your decision.
