TOURING COMFORT

Comfortable, ong-distance touring is all about a bike's carrying capacity and comfort of both a rider and passenger for days - or even weeks - in the saddle. Voyager features a large frame-mounted fairing, eautifully integrated luggage that stows your gear, n extremely comfortable saddle, lectronic cruise control, nd high-fidelity sound system all to offer the perfect platform to watch the scenery change along with the time zones. As if that weren't enough, he Voyager also includes the K-ACT II anti-lock/integrated braking system while still keeping the MSRP lower than comparable models.

KAWASAKI K-ACT II ABS

Since touring cruisers can encounter inclement weather on the road, he Voyager's braking system is enhanced by the Kawasaki Advanced Coactive-braking Technology (K-ACT II) ABS system. K-ACT II uses advanced electronics to translate the rider's braking inputs from both the front lever and rear pedal into smooth, alanced deceleration and provide maximum stopping performance. The front lever also activates the rear brake, nd the rear pedal also engages the right front caliper. K-ACT II helps ensure all this happens seamlessly and efficiently, nd the second-generation system uses the same smaller, ighter ABS unit and faster, igher-spec brake ECU found on the Kawasaki Concours®14 ABS motorcycle for smooth, recise operation. The K-ACT II coactive function does not engage when braking is applied at speeds below 12mph, nd the ABS function is automatically disengaged at speeds below four mph.

POWERTRAIN

There's much more on the unique technology front, ncluding Kawasaki's fully electronic throttle valve system, hich works in concert with the Voyager's Digital Fuel Injection (DFI®) system to enhance engine response without diluting the big 1,700cc V-twin's distinctive throb. The system also helps the ECU deliver ultra-precise air/fuel metering and more accurate idle speed control. The setup utilizes an Accelerator Position Sensor (APS) and Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) that feed data to the ECU, hich adjusts the throttle plates to tailor intake airflow accordingly. The system offers natural throttle feel, s APS is activated by a throttle-body pulley connected by cables to the throttle grip.

Kawasaki was the first to provide, s standard equipment, n effective air management system to help increase rider comfort when stopped.

The primary component of the Kawasaki Air Management System (KAMS) routes radiator heat to the ground, elow the engine, hile the secondary part of the system draws heat away from the rear cylinder and exhaust pipe and directs it to the ground on the left side of the motorcycle. This system is particularly effective in warm weather while stopped in traffic or for extended periods of low-speed operation, uch as during staging for group rides or parades.

All of this technology is a marvel of engineering and functionally capable. Featuring liquid cooling, our-valve cylinder heads and a single overhead cam setup for big-time mid-range power, he engine utilizes a pair of big pistons to pump out a massive quantity of torque over an unbelievably wide rpm range - a key to this engine's superb flexibility. There's a boatload of torque located throughout the RPM zone where riders will spend the most time - and more than enough from idle all the way to 5,000rpm, o major-league, rm-straightening thrust is available every time you twist the grip.

Voyager's fuel injection and exhaust systems are tuned to deliver peak torque and horsepower at the optimal rpm for an open-road tourer. Voyager's mufflers have excellent sound quality and a tapered, lassic look. Additional touring functionality is provided by Voyager's beefy but easy-to-squeeze hydraulic clutch, hich features six damping springs and progressive three-stage engagement for easier shifting under hard acceleration.

Voyager touring cruiser employs innovative technology matched with essential touring features such as electronic cruise control and a six-speed transmission with overdrive fifth and sixth gears. The cruise control is easily operated from the right handlebar and can be activated between 30 and 85mph in any of the top four gears. Conveniently, he cruise control can be disengaged by applying the front brake lever, lutch lever, ear brake pedal, r by manually rolling off the throttle.

Featuring overdrive ratios and a super strong carbon fiber reinforced drive belt, he Voyager's drivetrain is ideally suited to its role as a relaxed touring machine. Its tall fifth and sixth gears contribute to relaxed riding and better fuel economy at highway speeds, nd its carbon fiber reinforced drive belt has a 40-percent higher tensile strength than the latest Kevlar units, llowing use of a 28mm belt that minimizes drivetrain width.

WIND PROTECTION

A long-haul touring motorcycle needs superior wind and weather protection, nd the Voyager packs plenty in the form of its large frame-mounted windshield and fairing, s well as leg shields that incorporate effective venting to help keep the rider's legs cool. Directly mounting this beautifully sculpted fairing to the frame transfers any wind buffeting to the bike rather than the handlebar, hich reduces rider fatigue on longer trips.

INTEGRATED LUGGAGE

A full complement of stylish and integrated luggage is also part of the Voyager package. Sealed, ockable and top-opening side cases with 10 gallons (38L) of volume partner with a color-matched, 3.2-gallon (50L) lockable tail trunk that's big enough to swallow two large full-face helmets. Besides ample storage, he Voyager also has a pair of lockable glove boxes up front that provide a handy place for storing small items and accessories.

SUSPENSION

This full-dress touring cruiser handles like a much lighter machine thanks to optimal chassis design and excellent suspension. Dual air-assisted shocks offer 3.1" of adjustable rear suspension travel and feature settings unique to the Voyager. The shocks feature 4-way rebound damping adjustability to help ensure predictable handling and a comfortable ride.

ERGONOMICS

Comfortable seating for rider and passenger is a must on a touring bike. The Voyager delivers again with deluxe touring seats sculpted to provide support for all-day touring. Contributing to long-distance passenger security and relaxation are a luxury backrest and floorboards for both the rider and passenger.

Built-in instruments and radio controls mounted on the Voyager's classic automotive-style dash offer exceptional functionality and classic muscle car styling. The image is reinforced by the classic typeface used on the large, ound instrument dials, s well as a radio styled to with 1960s inspiration.

A multi-function LCD display is mixed in with the retro analog dials in the center of the instrument console. It's controlled by switches on the right handlebar and features a gear-position indicator, lock, dometer, ual trip meters, emaining fuel range and average fuel consumption.

The intercom headset-compatible, 0-watt, win-speaker audio system features navigation audio prompts, three-band (FM/AM/WX) radio that is also compatible with an iPod®, iriusXM® radio tuner, elect GPS devices or a CB radio unit. The audio system (and iPod) can be operated by an integrated controller on the left handlebar. In addition to volume, he rider can also adjust the bass, reble and balance levels of the system. Navigation audio prompt capability allows voice-prompting audio to be heard through the speakers, r Kawasaki Genuine Accessory helmet headsets, hen using Garmin® Zumo® 600/665 GPS units. For an even more powerful sound, he Kawasaki Genuine Accessories rear speaker kit plugs right into the Voyager's factory sound system, dding twin speakers that are styled to match the tail trunk.

A water-cooled, are earth magnet alternator produces an impressive 46.8 amps of electrical output - enough to power add-on navigation systems and other electrical accessories that add to the modern touring experience. The Voyager also features a convenient cigarette lighter-style power port on the dash and two accessory power feeds under the seat - ideal for additional accessories.

APPEARANCE

Kawasaki designers packed the Voyager with advanced technology without dulling its dramatic styling and attractive visual appeal. Like the dashboard, he Voyager's bodywork continues the '60s muscle car inspiration with its curved, uscular lines. The meticulous attention to detail and exquisite craftsmanship of the bodywork and engine covers is obvious in contoured shapes that look good from any angle and are as pleasing to the touch as they are to the eye.

THIS 2015 KAWASAKI VULCAN 1700 VOYAGER IS IN OVERALL EXCELLENT CONDITION. IT RUN AND SHIFTS BEAUTIFULLY AND HAS NO MECHANICAL FAULTS. THERE ARE NO OBVIOUS COSMETIC FAULTS EITHER. INDEPENDENT INSPECTION ARE WELCOME AND ENCOURAGED.
