Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager

The Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager has a top speed of 185 km/h (estimated), produces 75 hp and weighs 393 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.

가와사키 벌컨 1700 보이저는 벌컨 1600 노매드를 대체하는 가와사키의 플래그십 투어링 크루저로 2009년에 출시되었습니다.1,700cc 병렬 트윈 엔진과 샤프트 드라이브가 탑재되었으며, 특히 전자 조절식 윈드실드와 6단 변속기를 탑재한 동급 최초의 순양함 중 하나였습니다.얼마 지나지 않아 Voyager ABS 모델이 출시되어 잠김 방지 브레이크가 추가되어 혼다 골드 윙 및 야마하 로얄 스타 벤처와 직접 경쟁하는 프리미엄 장거리 투어링 머신으로서의 명성을 더욱 공고히 했습니다.

구매자가 알아야 할 사항

🔧

Watch the Final Drive

The shaft drive system is generally low-maintenance, but some owners report shaft drive lash developing over time — inspect for clunking during acceleration before buying used.

🎵

Built-In Audio System

The Voyager comes factory-equipped with an AM/FM/CD audio system and integrated GPS mount, making it one of the most touring-ready bikes out of the box without expensive add-ons.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The Vulcan 1700 Voyager holds its value reasonably well compared to competitors, largely due to its robust 1700cc engine and full-dresser features that appeal to long-distance touring buyers.

중고 구매자 리뷰

7.8/10
최적 대상
Two-up tourers wanting reliability over brand prestige

"Underrated touring cruiser that punishes brand snobbery with excellent value."

$7,500-$13,500 used

The Vulcan 1700 Voyager is Kawasaki's serious answer to the touring cruiser segment, and used examples offer genuinely impressive value if you know what you're buying. That 1700cc parallel-twin punches hard with real low-end torque, and the full fairing actually works — you'll arrive at destinations without feeling like you've been in a wind tunnel for six hours. The adjustable windscreen is a legitimate feature, not marketing fluff. Before buying, pull the infotainment panel and check for cracked mounting tabs — a known weak point on earlier models. Inspect the final drive shaft output seal religiously; leaks happen and dealers charge aggressively for the fix. The suspension is competent but not sophisticated, so press hard on the forks and rear shock looking for leaking seals on anything over 30,000 miles. Tire wear on the rear can be aggressive given the weight. Overall it's a genuinely capable tourer that gets overlooked because it doesn't wear a Harley badge. That's your advantage as a buyer.
