Kawasaki Vulcan S ABS keeps an estimated 72% of its value after 5 years — #266 of 1052 powersports vehicles VINdown tracks.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Kawasaki Vulcan S ABS retains an estimated 72% of its value after five years, ranking #266 of 1052 powersports vehicles we track. That is roughly in line with the 73% five-year average for Cruiser in its class.
Most of the loss lands early: the Kawasaki Vulcan S ABS sheds about 6% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $7,899 it falls to around $5,718 by year five — a five-year loss near $2,181, about $1.20 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Kawasaki Vulcan S ABS bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.

From about $7,899 when new it drops to roughly $5,718 after five years — a loss near $2,181 (72% of its value retained).
Around 4 years old: that is just past the steepest depreciation, so you skip the biggest drop while the value curve is flattening.
